Together the team at Designing Spaces and Akzo Nobel Paints—makers of LIQUID NAILS® Adhesives demonstrate some innovative DIY home projects that will save you money-- as long as you “stick” to the plan!

LIQUID NAILS® Adhesive is one of the most popular heavy-duty construction adhesives in the hardware industry. LIQUID NAILS® Adhesive products include many varieties of adhesives, caulks, sealants and home repair products for professionals and those of you who like to "Do It Yourself"!

What are the benefits of using LIQUID NAILS® Adhesive:

1. Adhesives are required to meet design strength requirements for certain types of construction: For example, manufacturers of engineered lumber floor joists specify the use of subfloor adhesives along with nailing to meet strength requirements for installation of their products. With LIQUID NAILS® Adhesives, you can be assured that you’re using the same great glue that professional contractors and builders depend on!

2. Adhesives can be used in applications where mechanical fasteners are not practical: Examples include installation of plastic tub and shower surrounds and in the installation of tile board in kitchens and bathrooms. In these installations, use of mechanical fasteners would provide a means for moisture to pass through these panels themselves and/or the wall behind.

3. Adhesives provide better appearance and faster application in some applications: Examples include the installation of trim and moldings. While fasteners may be applied quicker (i.e. nail gun), the nailed holes must be filled and sanded prior to final finishing. By using adhesives, no repair is required prior to final finishing.

4. Adhesives can be more forgiving than mechanical fasteners during installation: Even adhesives with quick tack (like LIQIUD NAILS® Ultra Quik Grip) have some amount of dry time, which means that unlike mechanical fasteners, you may be able to shift or reposition immediately following initial installation.

LIQUID NAILS® Brand products not only recognize quality, they also recognize the importance of not “leaving a carbon footprint” behind.

Since the 1990’s, the LIQUID NAILS® Brand has been at the forefront of developing construction adhesives and caulks with reduced volatile organic compound (VOC) content. Products with reduced VOC levels-- minimize the amount of harmful pollutants released into the atmosphere-- and minimize product odor.
