Engineered Wood Flooring: Buying the Right Glue
Gold Standard Installation — The Science of the Bond
Professional Engineered Wood Services for Northeast Florida
At Advanced Flooring Removal, our hands-on experience has taught us that a floor is only as good as the subfloor preparation and the adhesive used. We aren’t just managers — we’re experts who have done the work directly. When installing engineered wood, we exclusively recommend and use Bostik GreenForce.
Technical Superiority for Your Home
Using Bostik GreenForce eliminates the need for time-consuming moisture testing in many cases, provided the slab is properly prepared. This 2-in-1 solution effectively seals the concrete slab, creating a moisture vapor control membrane that protects your wood from the bottom up.
Key Benefits
Superior Bond Strength: Features “green grab” to secure boards instantly and keep them in place.
Easy Cleanup: Easy to clean before and after it cures, so your prefinished boards are never damaged by adhesive smears.
Anti-Fracture Performance: Bridges subfloor cracks to maintain structural integrity.
Technical Performance Comparison
Don’t gamble on your subfloor. See how our recommended materials stack up against standard retail options.

Experience the AFR Professional Advantage
We’ve seen it all — from moisture-related cupping to the “hollow spots” created by inferior products. By choosing a contractor who understands the chemistry of the bond, you avoid the common causes of flooring failures and warranty claims. We stand behind our work, and we use the products that stand the test of time.
AFR Pro Insight
“In my years running this business, I’ve seen homeowners try to save $200 on glue only to spend $2,000 later fixing cupped boards and hollow spots. I only install what I can stand behind for a lifetime.”
