Flexible Wood Flooring Adhesive for Solid, Engineered & Parquet Floors
SikaBond® Wood Flooring Adhesive is a standard-setting, trowel or gun applied adhesive designed for fixing all types of wooden floors directly onto common subfloors. Suitable for large installations and smaller repair work, it is available in cartridges, foils and a 14kg pail, making it a practical choice for both full floor bonding and localised applications.
Based on STPE hybrid polymer technology, this wood floor adhesive remains permanently flexible to help accommodate subfloor movement. Sika states that it will not cause warpage or curl of wood blocks or planks, offers low odour application, provides gap-filling properties for uneven surfaces, and delivers full-bed elastic bonding with sound-deadening benefits. It is also suitable for use with underfloor heating.
