Hardwood Floors: Glue-Down Installation

This type of installation is for either 15-20mm engineered floor or solid flooring. You can glue a hardwood floor down on either a flat screened wooden sub-floor. The sub-floor must be completely free of existing moisture (75% RH max). We recommend when gluing to a sub-floor a liquid damp-proof is installed as well. We also recommend an elastic adhesive because the cheaper adhesives become brittle and brake away over a number of years. The sub-floor preparation and adhesive we recommend is Mapei.

Advantages
A more stable floor which sounds and feels solid.

Disadvantages
Can be a time consuming process.
