Hi all,
I've been looking around the forums and still a bit unclear on how to lay a reclaimed parquet wooden floor (mahogany). I think it goes like this:
I have a concrete floor...does this 'need' priming? How do you tell? If so, Lecol K495 is ok?
I'm thinking of using Lecol 5500, is that the best/recommended adhesive? How accurate is the 700-900g/m2 coverage? I need to do 28m2, so 2x16kg tubs should be enough?
Should I glue straight to the concrete or should you use an underlay?
The flooring supplier says I only need to remove the bitumen from the T+Gs as the bitumen bonds with the glue...is that correct? Does that mean it takes longer to set? (that's not too much of an issue if so).
Do you apply the Lecol 5500 to the floor (like laying tiles) or the blocks? Do you need to apply it to the T+G also?
In order to fill the gaps, what do I use combined with the dust from first sand. Someone recommended use PVA, but I can't see that it would be strong enough...
Sorry for the Qs, and thanks for the As!
PS: Where can I get Lecol 5500 from for less than £55/16kg lol
