PREPARATION
Preparation should be in accordance with building standards. Subfloors must be sound, even, smooth, permanently dry and free from old adhesive residues, dust, grease or other contaminants.
When overlaying existing floor coverings ensure that they are firmly bonded and clean.
Remove dirt, polish, oil and similar contaminating substances.
When further preparation of the subfloor is required, select suitable Bostik primers and Bostik smoothing and levelling compounds.
All surfaces must incorporate adequate damp proofing, if not, they should be primed with Eponal 376 Moisture Vapour Barrier coating.
Always allow primers and self-levelling underlayment to dry thoroughly before applying the adhesive.
APPLICATION
Apply the adhesive evenly onto the substrate using a notched trowel Pajarito n069. No waiting time is necessary.
No primer is needed onto anhydrite screeds with BOSTIK TARBICOL MS ELASTIC.
Place the wood flooring immediately in position and press firmly (or roll) over the whole surface to ensure good transfer.
Distorted floorboards need to be weighted and retained in position until full cure.
Using wedges, allow a gap of 8 mm between the parquet and walls. Remove the wedges immediately after installation. Gap dimensions: 0.15% of the largest dimensions of the area to be covered with flooring.
REMARKS
- Store the parquet in a dry place.
- Do not install parquet flooring if the relative humidity is over 65%.
- Underfloor heating systems must comply with current regulations. Turn off the heating 48 hours prior to installation. Wait for at least 1 week after laying the floor covering before gradually turning up the heating.
- MSP adhesive is very sticky, before starting any work we recommend to use protective gloves.
- Tightly close all containers after use.
Cleaning
Tools and fresh spillages should be cleaned with a methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or acetone.
