Parquetry PS1300 is a single-part, moisture-curing hybrid polyurethane flooring adhesive for installing parquetry, strip timber and wood-block floors over suitable prepared substrates. Spread with a notched trowel, it forms a resilient bond that accommodates natural timber movement after cure.
Choose PS1300 when you are laying timber flooring—not buying timber flooring itself. It is suited to specified parquetry, plywood, standing timber, laminated and resin-impregnated blocks, and selected exotic species including bamboo or teak where the flooring system is compatible.
Flooring applications
-
Parquetry blocks and patterns: fixing compatible solid or laminated parquet to approved prepared substrates.
-
Strip timber flooring: bonding specified timber strips with a continuous trowelled adhesive bed.
-
Wood blocks and standing timber: accommodating natural movement in correctly detailed flooring assemblies.
-
Specialty timber over underlay: bonding suitable exotic timber with compatible cork-based flooring systems.
Before laying timber
A clean, level and dry subfloor is essential. The available PS1300 technical instructions specify concrete substrate moisture of 3% or less and 0.5% or less for anhydrite screeds, with timber moisture between 7% and 11%. For ground-bearing slabs, a compatible vapour barrier such as Everflex VBS is strongly recommended where specified to manage rising damp.
Spread with a suitable notched trowel, lay timber into the wet adhesive, verify transfer and leave movement space at perimeters. The published working window is approximately 60 minutes; allow at least 48 hours before sanding under suitable conditions. Do not apply below 10°C or when relative humidity exceeds the stated installation limit. For a different MS polymer flooring option, compare X’traseal MS-608.
