For secure adhesion: Our adhesives and parquet glues are tailored for the full-surface bonding of high-quality floor coverings such as parquet strips, prefabricated parquet, solid floorboards, wood paving, and vinyl. Depending on the substrate and floor structure, you will find suitable systems – including very low-emission adhesives and primers that release only small amounts of volatile organic compounds into the indoor air. This classification is indicated by the GEV EMICODE EC1 R or EC1 R PLUS. Additionally, 2-component PU adhesives are available, among others.

Advantages of our floor adhesives

  • ✔ For all common floor types: parquet, vinyl, wood paving, and much more
  • ✔ Optimal adhesion to screed, wood, cement, and more
  • ✔ Depending on the product, very low-emission – low emissions of volatile organic compounds, indicated by GEV EMICODE EC1 R or EC1 R PLUS
  • ✔ Suitable for underfloor heating
  • ✔ Easy application – for professionals & DIY enthusiasts

FAQs

The appropriate parquet adhesive depends on the type of parquet, wood species, format, substrate, and installation method. Elastic or shear-resistant adhesive systems are used for many parquet floors and planks. It is important that the adhesive, substrate, and floor covering are technically compatible to ensure the floor remains stable. Further basics regarding installation methods are explained in the guide Floating or glued parquet installation.

Full-surface bonding is particularly useful for 2-layer parquet, solid parquet, large-format planks, and many floor structures with underfloor heating. The floor is firmly connected to the substrate, feels more stable, and transfers heat more efficiently. Additionally, bonding can improve the walking comfort and reduce hollow spots. You can find suitable floor types under Prefabricated parquet, Solid parquetand Solid wood planks.

For underfloor heating, a suitable parquet adhesive should be used that matches the floor covering, substrate, and heating system. Good adhesion, appropriate elasticity, and approval for heated floor constructions are important. Full-surface bonding generally improves heat transfer compared to floating installation. Further information can be found in the guide Parquet and underfloor heating.

A primer prepares the substrate for bonding. It can improve absorbent, dusty, or uneven substrates and support the adhesion of the glue. Whether a primer is necessary depends on the substrate, the adhesive system, and technical specifications.

The appropriate notch size for the notched trowel depends on the adhesive, substrate, and floor format. Larger or more uneven formats often require a different amount of adhesive than smaller parquet formats. The notch size influences how much adhesive is applied and how well the parquet or planks lie in the adhesive bed.

Depending on the construction, substructure, and product, wooden planks can also be screwed. This is particularly relevant for certain solid wood planks or plank constructions on a suitable substructure. Whether screwing or gluing makes more sense depends on the plank, substrate, construction height, and technical planning. You can find suitable solid planks under Solid wood planks.

For solid wood planks, suitable flooring screws or special screws should be used that match the wood species, plank thickness, and substructure. Sufficient holding power, clean processing, and a fastening method that accounts for the natural movement of the wood are important. Not every universal screw is suitable for wooden floors.

Yes, before bonding, the substrate must be dry, clean, level, load-bearing, and free of adhesion-reducing residues. Moisture, dust, cracks, or uneven spots can impair the bond. Therefore, substrate inspection and preparation are an important part of professional floor installation.

Parquet adhesive and vinyl adhesive are not automatically interchangeable. Vinyl, design flooring, and SPC place different demands on adhesive, substrate, and processing than parquet or solid wood planks. Therefore, you should always use an adhesive that is expressly suited to the respective floor covering and area of application. You can find suitable accessories for design floors under Accessories for vinyl floors.

Gunreben offers adhesives, screws, and installation accessories suitable for parquet, planks, vinyl, and various floor structures. This allows floor covering, substrate preparation, and fastening to be effectively coordinated. This is important for a professional and stable installation. Further guides on the selection, installation, and maintenance of high-quality floors can be found in the Gunreben Magazine.
