Sika Wood Floor Bonding Systems

 

Integral Bonding
SikaBond® adhesives are ideally suitable for integral bonding of most types of timber and engineered wood.
SikaBond® guarantees long service life and perfect aspect. The elastic adhesives evenly transmit to the substrate all stresses generated by tensions in the wood. The result is a permanently good looking floor in old and new, residential and commercial buildings.
The 1-component adhesives can be applied directly, usually without priming onto cement and anhydrite screeds, thus making application easy and saving time. Woods such as beech and bamboo can also be bonded with SikaBond® without any problems.

The new Technology for permanently good-looking Floors

For a long time, timber floors have not been nailed anymore, but bonded or laid “floating”. But there is still potential for improving even these laying methods. In the end all timber and laminate floors should maintain their attractive aspect. The solution is elastic bonding. This ensures an optimal durable bond of timber even under high mechanical and environmental stress that considerably exceeds the capacities of conventional bonding systems.
Usually no priming required, high tolerance regarding adhesive layer thickness, so the applicator can feel safe when laying the floor. Impact noise reduction and in-room noise absorbtion properties of elastic adhesives impress designers and owners.

Experience Wood Flooring

In private homes, museums, offices, recreational rooms, etc. – all areas come alive through their design. Obviously the materials used play a major role. A natural product such as wood with its striking characteristics can be used to generate a warm, aesthetic atmosphere. This is one reason why wood flooring has become increasingly popular in recent years. Combined with modern design, wood flooring creates an elegant ambience and offers timeless quality

 

 Reduction of construction period
 

Adhesive application with SikaBond®Dispenser-5400 is up
to 10 times faster than with conventional trowel application.
The overall laying processes can be up to 4 times faster

 
Ecology
 

Solvent free, odourless, EMI- Code, EC 1 approved

 
High Elastic and Sound Dampening
 

Impact Noise and Sound Radiation Reduction
SikaBond® elastic adhesive systems reduce footfall sounds, also reduce sound radiation and airborne footfall sound

 
 Lasting beauty of wood floors
 

SikaBond® elastic adhesive systems do not limit architects and house owners in their choice of different woods. SikaBond® bonds them all – as well as
ceramic tiles, stone, metals etc. – to basically all different substrates.

 
Floor heating system
 

The best solution for wood floor installation on the floor heating system. SikaBond® elastic adhesive systems dampen every step and thus take care of your joints and musculature.
