Quick installation of the fireplace portal

Even if the dummy fireplace will not serve us as an additional source of heat on frosty evenings, it will bring a cozy atmosphere and classic elegance to the interior. With Soudabond Turbo adhesive from Soudal, we will quickly carry out the work related to the installation of the fireplace portal.

Flats very rarely meet the technical conditions that allow the installation of a traditional fireplace. In this situation, fireplace dummies are an increasingly used solution, which - like their prototypes - are characterized by high aesthetic values, catch the eye and, as a result, can act as the central decoration of the room. The wealth of models available on the market means that matching a dummy fireplace to a given interior style is basically no problem.

An additional advantage of this solution is simple and easy assembly, which we can carry out ourselves. A durable effect and express performance of the task will be provided by Soudabond Turbo "Quick Grip" polyurethane adhesive by Soudal.

Soudabond Turbo is a gun glue, ready to use immediately after mixing the contents of the can (just shake the can vigorously for about 30 seconds before application and regularly repeat this activity during work). It is characterized by perfect adhesion to typical construction and decorative materials, including wood, polystyrene or plaster, of which dummy fireplaces are most often made. Soudabond Turbo is distinguished by a very fast initial grip, which guarantees a secure initial fixation and allows further processing of the glued parts (e.g. painting) after only 15 minutes after application. Thanks to the use of Soudabond Turbo to assemble the dummy fireplace, we will shorten the implementation time of the entire project by up to 30% compared to traditional adhesives.

The work is also efficient thanks to the thixotropic properties of Soudabond Turbo "Quick Grip" glue - it does not flow down from vertical surfaces and can be applied in any position. The glue is applied in a path with a diameter of about 3 cm (points or in braids) on the decorative casing, which should then be firmly pressed to the wall surface within a maximum of 3 minutes. Appropriate preparation of the substrate is required, which must be free of loose contamination and degreased. Excess of cured adhesive should be cut off with a sharp tool.
