Lecol 5500 Parquet Flooring Adhesive is a professional water-free synthetic resin adhesive for bonding solid wood flooring, engineered flooring and parquet to correctly prepared internal subfloors.

It is ready to use, has strong initial grab and high filling capacity, and is available in 6kg and 16kg tins.

Why Choose Lecol 5500?

Strong initial grab and high bond strength
High filling capacity
Ready to use straight from the tin
Suitable for solid wood, engineered flooring and parquet
Suitable for properly prepared absorbent and non-absorbent subfloors
Suitable for compatible underfloor heating systems

Reclaimed parquet & bitumen residue:
Lecol acknowledges that many flooring contractors use Lecol 5500 when re-laying reclaimed parquet blocks where old bitumen has been cleaned back as thoroughly as practical and only residual traces remain. Lecol does not guarantee adhesion to bitumen, so the blocks must be stable and the floor installed onto a solid, sound sub-base.

If old bitumen residue remains on the subfloor itself, Lecol's preferred approach is to assess and encapsulate the residue with a suitable preparation system rather than bond directly onto it.

Trowel & Coverage Guide

Application	Trowel	Approx. spread
Lecol manufacturer specification	TKB B2 serrated trowel (Pajarito C)	Approx. 700–900g/m²

Lecol's technical data sheet states approximately 700–900g/m² depending on the substrate and adhesive bed. Its current product guidance quotes approximately 1kg/m². In practice, coverage will vary with the flooring size, trowel angle and subfloor texture.

Approximate Pack Coverage

6kg tin	Approximately 6–8m²
16kg tin	Approximately 16–22m²

Technical Information

Product type	Water-free synthetic resin parquet adhesive
Pack sizes	6kg and 16kg
Open time	Approximately 5–10 minutes at 20°C
Sandable	Approximately 16–24 hours under normal conditions
Suitable for UFH	Yes, subject to correct preparation and heating procedure

Application

Ensure the subfloor is dry, clean, level, mechanically sound and correctly prepared.
Use the manufacturer-specified serrated trowel, such as TKB B2 (Pajarito C). Obtain Lecol's approval before substituting a different notch.
Spread only as much adhesive as can be covered within the open time.
Lay the flooring immediately and press firmly into the adhesive to achieve good transfer.
Check adhesive transfer regularly during installation.

Important: Lecol's technical data sheet does not recommend installation onto bitumen insulating coatings and requires properly prepared substrates. Residual bitumen on reclaimed parquet is a recognised contractor use described by Lecol, but it is not guaranteed by the manufacturer. Always assess each project individually and follow the latest Lecol technical guidance.

1. What is Lecol 5500 Wood Flooring Adhesive used for?

Lecol 5500 is a solvent-based adhesive used for bonding wooden floors to subfloors. It is suitable for installing solid wood, engineered wood, and parquet flooring. Its strong bond ensures a durable and long-lasting installation.

2. How do I apply Lecol 5500 Wood Flooring Adhesive?

Lecol 5500 should be applied using a notched trowel. Spread the adhesive evenly on the subfloor and lay the wooden floor planks on top, pressing them firmly into place. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for drying times and trowel size for optimal results.

3. How long does Lecol 5500 take to cure?

Lecol 5500 typically cures in 24-48 hours, depending on the temperature and humidity levels. It is recommended to avoid walking on the floor until the adhesive has fully cured.

4. What types of wood flooring can be installed using Lecol 5500?

Lecol 5500 is suitable for use with solid wood, engineered wood, and parquet flooring. It is designed for both traditional solid wood floors and modern engineered floors, ensuring a strong bond between the wood and subfloor.

5. Can Lecol 5500 be used with underfloor heating?

Yes. Lecol's technical data sheet permits use with underfloor heating on correctly prepared substrates. Follow Lecol's heating commissioning, shutdown and gradual restart procedure, together with the flooring and heating manufacturers' instructions. See the Technical Data Sheet in the Data Sheets tab for the full procedure.

6. Can Lecol 5500 be used on old floors with bitumen present?

Lecol 5500 can be used on old floors where bitumen may be present, but it's important to take precautions. Bitumen can affect the adhesion of certain products. Ensure that the bitumen is stable and firmly bonded to the subfloor. For best results, it is recommended to remove as much bitumen as possible or use a suitable primer to isolate the bitumen before applying Lecol 5500. Always consult a flooring professional to assess the specific condition of your subfloor.

7. Is Lecol 5500 environmentally friendly?

Lecol 5500 is a solvent-based adhesive and contains VOCs (volatile organic compounds). It should be used in well-ventilated areas, and safety precautions must be followed. While it provides a strong bond, it is not as environmentally friendly as water-based adhesives.

8. How do I clean up after using Lecol 5500?

Clean any spills or excess adhesive immediately using a solvent such as acetone or white spirit. Once the adhesive has dried, it will be difficult to remove. Tools used for applying Lecol 5500 should be cleaned with the same solvent while the adhesive is still wet.

9. How should Lecol 5500 Wood Flooring Adhesive be stored?

Store Lecol 5500 in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the container is tightly sealed when not in use to prevent the adhesive from drying out or becoming less effective.

10. Can Lecol 5500 be used on all types of subfloors?

Lecol 5500 is suitable for use on a wide range of subfloors, including concrete, screed, plywood, and chipboard. Ensure that the subfloor is clean, dry, and level before applying the adhesive to ensure a strong bond. For subfloors with bitumen, consult a professional to determine if additional preparation or priming is required.

11. What are the advantages of using Lecol 5500 Wood Flooring Adhesive?

Lecol 5500 provides a strong, durable bond that ensures long-lasting results. Its quick initial grab makes it easier to work with, and it is well-suited for traditional solid wood floors. While it is solvent-based, it offers excellent bonding strength for demanding installations.
