What requirements must the substrate meet to be able to install parquet?
The substrate must be horizontal and sufficiently flat. Flatness can be improved by levelling with DL (Maxi) Egaline.
The substrate must be sufficiently dry. If necessary, a moisture barrier can be applied with Hydroblocker 2K or Hydroblocker 3K.
The substrate must be sufficiently strong with good surface cohesion. A primer such as Primer WB, Primer PU Turbo and Hydroblocker 2K can improve the surface condition in some cases. Cracks in the screed can be repaired with a synthetic repair mortar (Hydroblocker 2K + sand).
Smooth substrates such as ceramic tiles and polished concrete must be properly degreased and scratched.
If the parquet is installed on underfloor heating, this must be switched off at least 48 hours before gluing.
