How to prevent cracks in the subfloor when gluing parquet?
How can I prevent the subfloor from cracking after gluing parquet?
Gluing parquet on a subfloor can be complex, especially if the subfloor is not in optimal condition. Cracks in the subfloor can occur due to various factors such as moisture, temperature fluctuations, or poor preparation of the subfloor. If the subfloor is not properly prepared, it can lead to poor adhesion of the glue, causing the parquet to come loose and cracks to form. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the subfloor is dry, crack-free, and level before gluing the parquet. A well-prepared subfloor prevents long-term problems and ensures a durable floor.
Ensure the subfloor is dry, crack-free, and level, and use Blue Dolphin BD100 Polymer Adhesive
Blue Dolphin BD100 Polymer Adhesive is specially developed to provide a strong and flexible bond for parquet, even on subfloors that are prone to cracking. This adhesive is free of water, solvents, amines, isocyanates, and epoxy resins, making it safe and effective for indoor use. For optimal adhesion, the subfloor must be well-prepared. This means the subfloor must be dry, level, and crack-free. If the subfloor is porous or crumbly, a primer such as Blue Dolphin BD600 Rapid Primer can be used to improve adhesion. For smooth surfaces like ceramics or marble, the surface should be roughened with sandpaper and treated with an adhesion promoter. Blue Dolphin BD100 is easy to apply and ensures long-lasting adhesion, reducing the risk of cracks in the subfloor. For the best results, at least 65% of each wooden element should be in direct contact with the adhesive. With Blue Dolphin BD100, you can rely on a stable and durable parquet floor.
