How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This adhesive is applied during the installation phase after surface preparation and before the flooring is laid. It serves as the bonding layer between the subfloor and wood flooring materials, providing both adhesion and sound-dampening properties.

The workflow involves preparing the subfloor, applying the adhesive using a sausage gun with appropriate nozzles, positioning the flooring within the open time, and allowing proper curing before the space is used. The adhesive remains flexible throughout the floor’s life to accommodate movement and thermal changes.

How to Use

1. Surface Preparation: Make sure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose materials. If working with porous substrates, priming may be necessary.
2. Load the Adhesive: Insert the 600ml foil sausage into a professional applicator gun. Replacement nozzles for standard barrel sausage guns help keep application precise.
3. Apply the Adhesive: Dispense the adhesive in beads or use a notched trowel for even coverage.
4. Lay the Flooring: Position the floorboards within the adhesive’s open time, pressing them firmly into place.
5. Allow to Cure: Let the adhesive cure undisturbed for up to 24 hours for a strong bond.

Storage and Maintenance Tips

• Clean the applicator after each use to avoid adhesive buildup.
• Store in a cool, dry place to maintain its effectiveness.
• Seal the foil packaging tightly to prevent contamination and drying out.

• Product FAQs

  Q: What is the best way to apply wood flooring adhesive?
  A: To apply this adhesive, use a notched trowel to spread a consistent layer across the surface, providing even coverage. Press the flooring into place firmly. For optimal results, maintain the recommended ambient and substrate temperatures of over 15°C, and make sure that the substrate is clean and dry before application.
  Q: How long does it take for wood flooring adhesive to dry?
  A: The adhesive cures at a rate of approximately 3.5 mm per 24 hours under standard conditions of 23°C and 50% relative humidity. Typically, the floor can be walked on after 12-24 hours, but it is recommended to wait longer if possible before sanding or heavy use.
  Q: Can wood flooring adhesive be used for all types of wood?
  A: This adhesive is suitable for solid and engineered wood floors, including beech, maple, and bamboo, as well as chipboard, plywood, and OSB. It is especially effective for bonding wood to problematic substrates, such as old ceramic tiles.
  Q: How do I clean up any excess adhesive from wood floors?
  A: Fresh, uncured adhesive can be cleaned off the surface with a damp cloth or by using Sika Remover-208 or Wonder Wipes. If the adhesive has cured, mechanical removal will be necessary.
  Q: Is wood flooring adhesive waterproof?
  A: The adhesive is not fully waterproof but is water-resistant after curing. It is suitable for use with underfloor heating systems and can tolerate moisture, making it effective in areas like kitchens or bathrooms, provided proper precautions are taken.
  Q: Can wood flooring adhesive be used on other surfaces besides wood?
  A: Yes, the adhesive can also be used on cement screeds, anhydrite floors, ceramic tiles, and plywood. However, for certain surfaces, such as broadcast mastic asphalt or for high moisture areas, priming with Sika Primer MB or SikaBond Rapid DPM is recommended for optimal adhesion.
