HOW TO INSTALL SUBFLOORS?

Subfloor Adhesives

Subfloors are commonly installed using PU adhesives, ensuring longevity of flooring installations and eliminating unnecessary squeaks. Subfloor adhesives must be durable enough to absorb the regular movement associated with shrinkage and expansion of timber substrates.

Applying a subfloor glue during the installation can really improve the overall strength and durability of your floor, creating a solid foundation. There are two main polyurethane technologies available within the Soudal range: Soudabond Timber and Joint & Joist D4 Wood Adhesive.

Installing Subfloors with Soudabond Timber

Soudabond Timber replaces the need for traditional mortar-based adhesives. This high strength, fast curing PU adhesive collapses into an gel immediately upon application, filling in any small irregularities to prevent squeaky floors. The quick and easy bonding solution saves time, effort and money. The 750ml Gun Grade canister is able to bond an area up to 15 m², the equivalent coverage of up to 25 cartridges of traditional adhesive. 

Benefits of installing subflooring with Soudabond Timber:

  • Fast Curing
  • Collapsing PU adhesive
  • Heavy duty bonding of all wood sheet materials
  • Prevents squeaky floors
  • High yield formulation for greater coverage
  • Effective on wet and frozen timber

HOW TO INSTALL: STEP BY STEP

  • Wear safety goggles and gloves.
  • Make sure surfaces are clean and free of grease and dust. Spraying water on the surfaces will improve adhesion and speed up curing.
  • Shake can vigorously for at least 30 seconds. Repeat regularly for maximum yield.
  • Screw the canister onto the gun upside down.
  • Use the dial on the gun to control the speed at which the foam extrudes. Point nozzle and press trigger to begin applying.
  • Apply the adhesive directly along the joist, placing the boards within 20mins of dispensing.
  • While applying pressure, further secure the boards with additional mechanical fixings.
  • Clean surfaces using PU Gun & Foam Cleaner.
