Parquet glue means durability. We're going to tell you all about it.
The history of parquet glues is recent, but the glue itself is much older.
Glues have ancestral origins, used since prehistoric times to unite different materials. Over time, these adhesives have evolved to become more effective and durable, playing a crucial role in the assembly of composite materials and the creation of watertight joints.
Glued-down parquet represents a modern method of parquet installation, offering an alternative to nailed-down or floating parquet, with a wear layer at least 2.5 mm thick. Its advantages include increased stability and compatibility with underfloor heating, although the use of stronger adhesives is required for wide planks.
These key points demonstrate the historical importance and constant evolution of parquet glue in the construction and renovation industry.
