As parquet floors\u202fare expected to be solid and last at least a few decades, it is important to choose the right installation method according to the type of flooring you are buying and your existing subfloor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Glue-down parquet floors are known to be more durable, withstand loads better and are more noise suppressing than floating parquet floors. Liquid adhesive paste is also much easier to use and does not cause floorboard squeakiness, which may occur when using a traditional installation method such as nails or screws.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main advantages of using a <a href=\"\/uk?p=26242\">glue-down method<\/a> are its superior stability and compatibility with water-based underfloor heating. In Penosil\u2019s product range we have a ready-to-use hybrid parquet adhesive, <a href=\"\/uk?p=7600\">Penosil Floor&amp;Wall ParquetFix 749<\/a>, the elastic and flexible structure of which compensates for wood\u2019s expansion and contraction. The adhesive\u2019s elastic structure is especially important when underfloor heating will be also installed because the wood is affected by temperature and humidity changes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"\/uk?p=7600\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/penosil.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2020\/03\/PENOSIL_Premium_FloorWall_ParquetFix_749_15kg_NOBA_245x154mm_2V-copy-700x504.jpg\" alt=\"Parketi ja puitlaudise liim\" class=\"wp-image-10825\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Penosil Floor&amp;Wall ParquetFix 749<strong> <\/strong>is compatible with all types of parquet and wooden flooring. It can be used for installing massive-, mosaic-, slatted-, two- or three-layered parquets, wooden boarding and industrial parquets.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When installing interior flooring it is also important to think about the harmful substances that certain chemical products can release into your home over the years. Penosil Floor&amp;Wall ParquetFix 749 is safe to use as it does not contain any silicones, isocyanates, solvent and it is practically odourless.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A glued-down parquet can be laid on almost any subsurface. Penosil Floor&amp;Wall ParquetFix 749 is a moisture-curing adhesive and forms an elastic connection that reduces the shear stress between the parquet and the subsurface. It is compatible with most common subflooring substrates such as concrete, self-levelling compounds, plasterboard, magnesium oxide plate, fibre board, etc.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to use Penosil Floor&amp;Wall ParquetFix 749<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"default-list wp-block-list\"><li>First, make sure the surfaces to be sealed are clean, dry, stable, flat and free from any dust, loose particles and oil residues.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"default-list wp-block-list\"><li>Bring the product to room temperature before application.
