Construction platforms for Asia: thoughts on the DfMA journey in Asia-Pacific
It can be a little challenging to get tiles that big to sit level, especially on top of all of the heated flooring stuff and the cement that goes over it, but we got it done!
This was a pretty simple job overall, but one with a really big impact.Those are always the best projects aren’t they?.
We really only needed a few basic supplies, other than the miter saw which is out in the garage.. We gathered some painting supplies, our handy-dandy cordless brad nailer, and some GE Iron Grip adhesive..When it comes to adhesives, this one is definitely a winner.It sticks to pretty much anything, whether porous or non-porous, even things that are typically difficult for other adhesives like steel, PVC, glass, concrete, and porcelain, and since it’s 100% silicone it won’t shrink or lose adhesion over time.
Plus it works super-fast, which is really the key to my heart.In projects where you need to clamp something and let it dry, it builds strength quickly and offers up to 75% less clamp time than many other adhesives!
So it’s basically the new glue of choice around here.
Here are our largest moulding pieces, all cut out and ready to go.. We applied a bead of adhesive to them….We also have a lot of really wonky walls though, so sometimes the only thing to do is to cover them up, or tear them down, or maybe a little of both.. Last week we did a whole bunch of work in Kennedy’s room: Paint, new lighting, new flooring, new trim, all that good stuff.
If you follow me on.or Instagram, you may have been following along with that progress.
We still need to add a few finishing touches before the “big reveal”, but it’s looking good.We had one of those wonky walls in there so rather than fussing with it too much, we just went ahead and drywalled it!.
