- Stir well before use
- Ensure the temperature of the room is more than 15°C
- Apply the adhesive evenly using a serrated trowel to an area no bigger than 1M²
- Set the parquet into position without delay. The underside of the parquet must have complete contact with the adhesive
- In normal conditions the floor can be sanded after 16-24 hours, however if the subfloor is non-absorbent, or on mastic asphalt subfloors, wait 3 days before sanding
- Consumption per m2: Approx. 0.9 kg
Subfloor Preparation for Lecol 5500 Wood Floor Adhesive
To achieve the best results when using Lecol 5500 parquet adhesive, the subfloor must be correctly prepared. All surfaces should be completely dry, structurally sound, and free from dust, grease, oil, paint, or old adhesive residues. A level, crack-free base is essential for a durable bond.
Cement-based subfloors and chipboard surfaces that meet industry standards can typically be bonded directly with Lecol 5500 wood floor adhesive without additional pre-treatment. However, highly absorbent or dusty surfaces, such as anhydrite screeds, should be primed using
Wakol D3055 Universal Primer to ensure proper adhesion.
For chipboard installations, all boards must be securely fixed with screws or screw nails to prevent movement. It is recommended to lay the wood flooring diagonally to the chipboard joints for optimal stability.
When installing mosaic parquet, levelling should generally be avoided. However, if levelling is necessary, Lecol Z520 synthetic resin cement compound should be used, with a maximum thickness of 5mm. Before applying the levelling compound, check that the subfloor is strong enough to withstand the stress that occurs with parquet installation. Cement-based floors must be primed with
Wakol D3055 Universal Primer and fully dried before levelling.
To ensure the best adhesion and long-term performance, a trial application is recommended before full installation. Please note that Lecol 5500 is not suitable for use on magnesite subfloors or bitumen insulation layers.
