Over the past years, GUT has cooperated with the industry to develop a new generation of adhesives that do not affect the consumers' well-being. Reduction of emissions from solvents considerably enhances indoor air quality. The GUT guarantee for adhesives provides this security.

More than just improving existing adhesives, GUT tries to promote the most appropriate solutions for user-friendly installation of carpets. Indeed, not every installation requires adhesives: for example, when the surface is small, it can be fitted without any glue. Carpet can also be stretch-laid. New techniques include Velcro as well as spot adhesive fitting.
