Bona R848T Flexible Wood Flooring Adhesive 600ml Sausage

1. What is Bona R848T Wood Flooring Adhesive used for?

Bona R848T is a silane-based, flexible wood flooring adhesive specifically formulated for bonding wooden floors to a variety of subfloors. It provides a strong, elastic bond, similar to Bona R848, but has a thicker viscosity, making it ideal for uneven subfloors or when a thicker layer of adhesive is needed.

2. How do I apply Bona R848T Wood Flooring Adhesive?

Bona R848T should be applied using a notched trowel. Spread the adhesive evenly on the subfloor and place the wooden flooring directly into the adhesive. Due to its thicker viscosity, it’s particularly useful for uneven subfloors or where a stronger initial grab is required. Press the boards firmly to ensure good adhesion.

3. How long does Bona R848T take to cure?

Bona R848T typically cures within 24-48 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. It is advisable to avoid walking on the floor until the adhesive has fully cured.

4. What types of flooring can be installed with Bona R848T?

Bona R848T is suitable for use with solid wood, engineered wood, and parquet flooring. Its high flexibility and strong bonding properties make it ideal for large planks, especially in areas subject to temperature and humidity fluctuations.

5. Can Bona R848T be used with underfloor heating?

Yes, Bona R848T is suitable for use with underfloor heating systems. Its elastic properties allow the wood to move with temperature changes without compromising the adhesive bond, making it ideal for areas with underfloor heating.

6. Is Bona R848T environmentally friendly?

Yes, Bona R848T is solvent-free and contains very low levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), making it an environmentally friendly and safe choice for indoor applications. It is GREENGUARD certified for excellent indoor air quality.

7. Can Bona R848T be used on old floors with bitumen or adhesive residue?

Bona R848T can be used on subfloors with adhesive residue, as long as the residue is stable and firmly bonded. For subfloors with bitumen or other types of residue, it is recommended to prime the surface with Bona R410 before applying the adhesive to ensure a strong bond.

8. What is the difference between Bona R848 and Bona R848T?

The key difference between Bona R848 and Bona R848T is the viscosity. Bona R848T has a thicker consistency, making it ideal for uneven subfloors or installations where a higher build of adhesive is required. Both products offer similar bonding strength and flexibility.

9. How do I clean up after using Bona R848T?

Excess adhesive should be cleaned up immediately using a damp cloth or Bona Cleaning Wipes. Once the adhesive has dried, it becomes difficult to remove, so it is important to clean up any spills during the application process.
