Procedure 02 · new unfinished parquet
With new unfinished parquet two systems work together: WAKOL below holds the geometry, LOBA above determines the appearance and the resistance.
measure → prepare → set out → bond → sand → protect
A suitable substrate that has been mechanically prepared and vacuumed can often take MS 262 directly or via D 3055. Always prepare a calcium sulphate screed mechanically; separate mastic asphalt with PU 280 or MS 330.
D 3055 if needed → MS 262.Adhesive does not level. D 3003/D 3004 + Z 610 is the route for a suitable mineral substrate, not for every non-absorbent, wooden or asphalt substrate.
primer according to substrate type → Z 610 (at least 2 mm under parquet) → MS 262.Only on a permanently moisture-resistant substrate: an accurate CM % or KRL/CRH measurement of the substrate, the limits in the TDS and the existing structural waterproofing.
PU 280 or MS 330 within the TDS limits → MS 262.The barrier layer, the bonding bridge and the levelling must form one system; apply D 3045 within the prescribed time window.
PU 280/MS 330 → D 3045 → Z 610 → MS 262.Record the wood species, the construction, the dimensions, tongue-and-groove or click, the planned pattern and the manufacturer's instructions. Choose the MS 262 application method on that basis; individual beads are not permitted for every format.
Store the parquet according to the manufacturer's instructions. The floor temperature should be at least 15 °C and the room at least 18 °C; the target relative humidity is roughly 40–65 %. Underfloor heating must have a completed screed heat-up protocol.
Check the screed type, the CM % or KRL/CRH moisture of the substrate, the flatness, the compressive and tensile strength, cracks and surface contamination. Mechanically remove weak layers, paint, oil, old loose material and dust. Prepare a calcium sulphate screed mechanically and vacuum it thoroughly; always separate mastic asphalt from MS 262 with PU 280 or MS 330.
Repair local damage with the appropriate WAKOL repair compound. Prime an uneven substrate and level it with Z 610; under parquet the layer must be at least 2 mm. Do not sand the compound before bonding unless the TDS states otherwise.
Measure the room and draw a reference axis. Lay several rows without adhesive, balance the cuts at the walls and mark the starting line. For herringbone, build an accurate starting triangle or guide.
For permitted long elements with the triangular nozzle, apply transverse beads every 8–10 cm. With the multi-nozzle head the ribs run parallel to the laying direction. With a trowel, comb the adhesive fully and evenly. Prepare only as much as you can lay in about 40 minutes.
Place the element into the fresh adhesive immediately, press it down and close the joint with a tapping block. Lift the first elements and check the transfer on the underside. Use spacers and expansion gaps according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Remove fresh stains immediately with RT 5960, after testing for resistance. Setting takes about 24 h; according to the TDS, unfinished parquet is normally ready for surface treatment after 12 h on an absorbent and 24 h on a non-absorbent substrate. Check stability before walking on it or sanding.
Level the new unfinished parquet using the same controlled sequence as an old floor. After the medium pass, fill the stable gaps with EasyFill/VivaFill and fine dust, then make an even fine pass.
Choose one complete route: EasyPrime + 2K lacquer, 2K Intensive + 2K lacquer, 2K ImpactOil or HardwaxOil. Do not combine random layers. Document the times, quantities and product batches.
An almost raw look with 2K resistance.
A highly resistant lacquered system.
The colour depth of oil beneath a 2K lacquer.
The direct feel of the wood and local repairability.
Thick puddles of adhesive do not create a flat substrate and they reduce control over the transfer.
Individual MS 262 beads are restricted; smaller elements need the multi-nozzle head or full-surface application.
The pattern drifts, the edge cuts become too narrow and corrections have to be made in open adhesive.
MS 262 has no venting time; the parquet goes into a fresh rib immediately.
Adhesive can react later with the lacquer or oil and is visible on the finished surface.
