The flagship Lush cosmetics store on London’s Oxford Street required the installation of reclaimed baltic pine floorboards. Oakvale Floors specialise in parquet flooring, from product specification through to installation and were the contractor selected to undertake the works during this impressive renovation project. The installation required a durable bonding system to ensure the longevity of the parquet flooring; an important characteristic, especially within a retail setting.
The Oakvale Floors installation team opted for Soudal’s professional parquet adhesive range, choosing to use our SV-15P solvent based adhesive. It is a proven bonding solution, ideal for fixing reclaimed parquet flooring to various substrates. In this instance, marine plywood.
It was important for us to use a proven bonding solution to pair this reclaimed board with what would be a demanding commercial installation. Our installation team opted for Soudal’s SV-15P parquet adhesive. In our experience the product handles very well and provides a reliable bond.
The sustainable retailer is often recognised for their approach to store design, with many elements often incorporating reclaimed wood. The reclaimed baltic pine flooring integrates with the exposed brick elements to dramatic effect, creating a beautiful high quality finish.
SV-15P is suitable for bonding many types of parquet floors onto suitable indoor substrates, including: concrete, screeds, wood, chipboard and OSB board. The single component adhesive is ready to use and very easy to apply. The adhesive forms stable peaks when applied using a notched trowel, providing the ideal adhesive layer for bonding parquet flooring. Its formulation is specially developed to provide a rapid build up of strength. Load bearing after 24 hours, sandable after 48 hours.
Soudal provides instructions for applying many products within our professional range. You can find an application tutorial for installing parquet flooring here.
