FAQs

1. What is Bona R848 Wood Flooring Adhesive used for?

Bona R848 is a silane-based, flexible wood flooring adhesive designed for bonding wooden floors to a wide range of subfloors. It provides a strong, elastic bond, allowing the wood to move naturally with changes in temperature and humidity without compromising the adhesion.

2. How do I apply Bona R848 Wood Flooring Adhesive?

Bona R848 should be applied using a notched trowel. Spread the adhesive evenly on the subfloor, and then place the wooden flooring directly into the adhesive. Press the boards down firmly to ensure good contact. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for trowel size and application techniques for best results.

3. How long does Bona R848 take to cure?

Bona R848 typically cures within 24-48 hours, depending on the temperature, humidity, and type of subfloor. It is recommended to avoid walking on the floor until the adhesive has fully cured.

4. What types of flooring can be installed with Bona R848?

Bona R848 is suitable for use with most types of wooden floors, including solid wood, engineered wood, and parquet. It is highly flexible, making it ideal for larger planks and floors in areas prone to significant temperature changes.

5. Can Bona R848 be used with underfloor heating?

Yes, Bona R848 is suitable for use with underfloor heating systems. Its elastic properties allow the wood to move slightly without damaging the bond, making it ideal for environments with fluctuating temperatures, such as those with underfloor heating.

6. Is Bona R848 environmentally friendly?

Yes, Bona R848 is solvent-free and contains very low levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), making it an environmentally friendly and safe option for indoor use. It is GREENGUARD certified, meeting stringent standards for indoor air quality.

7. Can Bona R848 be used on old floors with bitumen or adhesive residue?

Bona R848 can be used over subfloors with some adhesive residue, but it is important that the residue is stable and firmly bonded to the subfloor. For bitumen or other types of old adhesive residue, it is recommended to use a suitable primer, such as Bona R410, before applying Bona R848.

8. What is the advantage of using a silane-based adhesive like Bona R848?

Silane-based adhesives like Bona R848 provide excellent flexibility, allowing for natural movement of the wood floor due to changes in temperature and humidity. This reduces the risk of cracks, lifting, or damage to the floor, while maintaining a strong bond with the subfloor.

9. How do I clean up after using Bona R848?

Any excess adhesive should be removed immediately using a damp cloth or Bona Cleaning Wipes. Once dried, the adhesive can be difficult to remove, so it’s important to clean up any spills or excess during the application process.

10. How should Bona R848 be stored?

Store Bona R848 in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the container is tightly sealed when not in use to prevent the adhesive from curing inside the tub.
