Bonding exotic timber flooring or delicate parquetry without primer, meeting Greenstar requirements, and securing against cupping and lifting – this is the precision job Parquetry PS1300 handles. You get a robust, long-lasting floor installation, compliant and secure.

Why this product exists

Flooring professionals need a single-component, low-VOC adhesive that handles diverse flooring types (exotic, laminated, strip) across various substrates (concrete, wood, stone, glass) without a primer. Parquetry PS1300 was formulated as a Hybrid PU to deliver exactly that: high performance, Greenstar compliance, and simplified application with a 60-minute open time. We understand the need for a reliable bond that will not compromise indoor air quality or project timelines.

The numbers that matter

  • Working time: 60 minutes. This provides ample time to position and adjust flooring sections without rushing, ensuring precise alignment.
  • Cure rate: 3.5mm per 24 hours. A consistent cure ensures the bond develops evenly, reducing stress on the timber and allowing sanding to commence after 48 hours.
  • Shore A Hardness: Greater than 20. This indicates a flexible bond, crucial for accommodating the natural expansion and contraction of timber flooring, preventing stress cracks or delamination.
  • Temperature resistance: -40°C to +90°C. Once cured, the adhesive maintains its integrity across extreme temperature fluctuations, protecting the floor's stability in varied climates.
  • VOC Emission: Very low. Directly addresses Greenstar compliance and ensures a healthier indoor environment post-installation.

What it's like to use

Parquetry PS1300 applies as a pasty, beige adhesive. Work in temperatures between +5°C and +25°C, ensuring subfloor humidity is controlled. Spread it evenly using a notched trowel, then lay the timber within the 60-minute open time. Allow a 10-20mm gap at walls for timber movement. Clean tools with Adheseal Xylene Solvent before the adhesive fully cures; mechanical removal is necessary after.

Where this product excels

  • Greenstar Commercial Fitouts: Its very low VOC formulation is critical for projects requiring sustainable building certifications, ensuring indoor air quality compliance.
  • Exotic Timber Installations: Provides reliable, primer-free adhesion for challenging species like teak and bamboo, which often have higher oil content, to diverse substrates including concrete and wood.
  • Parquetry and Strip Flooring on Slabs: Delivers a flexible, strong bond for all parquetry and strip flooring types, mitigating the risk of cupping and warping when used with a suitable vapour barrier.
  • Flooring with Acoustic Underlayment: Bonds seamlessly with cork underlayment, contributing to both acoustic control and the long-term dimensional stability of the flooring system.

How it fits in a real system

For slab-on-ground installations, Parquetry PS1300 forms a robust system when paired with Primer VBS as a vapour barrier. This essential first step protects your flooring from rising damp, a common cause of costly cupping and warping failures in timber floors. The adhesive then delivers its primer-free bond directly onto the prepared surface.

Choose this when

  • When you need a single-component adhesive to install all types of parquetry or strip flooring, including challenging exotic species.
  • When your project requires low VOC emissions and Greenstar compliance.
  • When working with various substrates like concrete, wood, stone, or glass, without needing a separate primer.
  • When you require a generous 60-minute open time for precise timber placement and adjustment.

Don't use this when

  • Not for: Substrate temperatures below +10°C or relative humidity exceeding 65%, as this impairs proper cure and bond strength.
  • Not for: Substrates with hygrometry exceeding 3% (or 0.5% for anhydrite screeds), or parquetry humidity outside the 7-11% range. Address moisture before application.
  • Not for: Direct application on platforms without underfloor ventilation, which can lead to moisture issues and flooring damage.
  • Not for: Use as a general-purpose adhesive for applications outside of parquetry and strip flooring installation.

Parquetry PS1300 is formulated with very low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions, making it suitable for Greenstar-rated projects where indoor air quality and environmental performance are critical specifications.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Parquetry PS1300 on concrete slabs?

Yes, Parquetry PS1300 is suitable for concrete. Ensure the concrete is clean, dry, and free of dust and grease, with a humidity level not exceeding 3%. For slab-on-ground applications, a vapour barrier like Primer VBS is strongly recommended to prevent rising damp and potential flooring issues.

What is the working time for Parquetry PS1300?

The average working time for Parquetry PS1300 is 60 minutes at 23°C and 50% RH. This allows time to lay the timber flooring into the wet adhesive film and ensure proper transfer to the underside of the flooring.

Does this adhesive meet Greenstar requirements?

Yes, Parquetry PS1300 has a very low emission of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and is suitable for use on Greenstar-rated projects. This provides confidence for environmentally conscious building specifications.

When can I sand the flooring after installation?

Allow at least 48 hours for the adhesive to dry before sanding the timber flooring. This ensures the adhesive has cured sufficiently to withstand the mechanical stress of sanding without compromising the bond.

Applying Parquetry PS1300: Enhanced Protocols & Best Practices

  1. Surface Preparation

    Ensure all substrates are clean, dry, and structurally sound. Remove dust, grease, and contaminants. Assess evenness using a 2m straight edge—maximum allowable deviation is 5mm.

    Concrete Slabs

    Apply Adheseal Primer VBS to block moisture ingress. For freshly poured screeds (30mm), allow 4–6 weeks of drying depending on seasonal temperature.

    Plywood or Timber

    Ensure sheets are securely fixed. Sand lightly to remove surface coatings. Confirm moisture content is between 7–11%.

    Timing: Drying time for slabs: minimum 4 weeks (summer), 5–6 weeks (winter).
    Pro Tip: Test for moisture with a hygrometer — substrate must not exceed 3% moisture content.
  2. Adhesive Application

    Cut the corner of the sachet and pour adhesive directly onto the prepared floor. Spread using a notched trowel (2mm–3mm) for consistent film thickness.

    Standard Method

    Use a 2mm V-notch trowel for standard parquet blocks. For strip flooring, a 3mm notch may be more suitable depending on substrate texture.

    High-Absorption Method

    Apply slightly more adhesive on absorbent surfaces to maintain proper transfer onto the timber underside.

    Timing: Open time: up to 60 minutes at 23°C and 50% RH.
    Pro Tip: Apply adhesive only over areas you can cover within 30–45 minutes to ensure optimal wet bonding.
  3. Timber Installation

    Lay timber flooring directly into the adhesive film while it’s still tacky. Apply even pressure for full contact and use a rubber mallet if required.

    Floating Installation

    Not suitable — Parquetry PS1300 requires full surface contact with adhesive underlay.

    Direct Glue-Down

    Lay boards into adhesive, leaving 10–20mm expansion joints around perimeters.

    Timing: Floor must remain undisturbed for a minimum of 24 hours. Do not sand for at least 48 hours post-installation.
    Pro Tip: Check underside transfer of adhesive periodically to ensure full coverage and bond integrity.
  4. Cleanup & Curing

    Clean tools and equipment using xylene or toluene before adhesive cures. After full cure, only mechanical removal is effective.

    Wet Cleanup

    Use cloth soaked in xylene to wipe tools and spills while adhesive is still uncured.

    Post-Cure Removal

    Cured adhesive must be scraped or mechanically removed. Avoid excessive force on installed flooring.

    Timing: Cure rate: approx. 3.5mm/24hr at 23°C and 50% RH. Shelf life: 9 months (unopened, cool dry storage).
    Pro Tip: Label open containers with date and reseal tightly to extend usability between applications.

Product limitations

  • Not for: Working at ambient temperatures below +10°C or when relative humidity exceeds 65%. These conditions can impair proper curing and performance.
  • Not for: Substrate humidity levels exceeding 3% (or 0.5% for anhydrite screeds). Excess moisture will compromise the bond and can lead to flooring failure.
  • Not for: Parquetry flooring with humidity outside the 7% to 11% range. Incorrect timber moisture content can lead to movement and failure.
  • Not for: Direct application on platforms without underfloor ventilation space. Lack of ventilation can trap moisture and damage flooring.

Safety and handling

Parquetry PS1300 is not classified as hazardous according to Work Safe Australia. However, sensitive individuals may experience skin irritation and sensitisation. Always consult the SDS before use.

Personal protective equipment

Wear gloves and safety glasses during handling and application.

Ventilation

Natural ventilation should be adequate under normal use conditions.

First aid

  • Inhalation: Seek medical treatment if complaints occur.
  • Skin contact: Wash with water and soap. If irritation persists, consult a doctor.
  • Eye contact: Rinse open eye for several minutes under running water. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.
  • Ingestion: Call a doctor immediately.

Storage and disposal

Store in a cool, dry place between +5°C and +25°C, out of direct sunlight. Keep containers closed when not in use. Shelf life is 9 months. Dispose of according to state or local regulations.

Substrate guide

Proper substrate preparation is critical for durable flooring adhesion and preventing moisture-related issues.

Concrete and screeds

Surface prep: Substrates must be clean, dry, and free of dust and grease. On a 30mm screed, allow at least 4 weeks drying time in summer, and 5 to 6 weeks in winter. The surface should be even, with a maximum tolerance of 5mm under a 2m ruler. If uneven, apply a suitable levelling compound system. Substrate humidity must not exceed 3% (or 0.5% for anhydrite screeds).

Primer: Optional. For slab-on-ground applications, Primer VBS is strongly recommended as a vapour barrier to mitigate rising damp, cupping, and warping. Refer to the Primer VBS data sheet for specific instructions.

Wood and plywood

Surface prep: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of dust and grease. Ensure the timber flooring itself has a humidity level between 7% and 11% before laying. Do not apply directly to platforms without underfloor ventilation.

Primer: Not required. PS1300 offers excellent adhesion to wood without a primer.
