Examination of subfloor

It is essential to ensure that the subfloor is in good condition before processing. This can be done by referring to the standard DIN 18365 or relevant national standards such as BS 5325.

The subfloor must be able to withstand pressure and tension, and should not have any cracks.

Additionally, it should be strong enough, dry, level, clean and free from any contaminants that may hinder adhesion, sinter layers etc.

The porosity and grip of the surface must also be checked.

It is important to examine the moisture content and absorption of the subfloor, as well as the temperature, air humidity and subfloor temperature.

Only after completing all these checks should the processing begin.

Subfloor preperation

To ensure the longevity and quality of your flooring installation, it is imperative that the subfloor is properly prepared beforehand. This entails ensuring that the floors are clean, strong enough to withstand the weight of the flooring, level, dry, and free of any cracks.

Depending on the type and condition of the subfloor, a mechanical pretreatment may be necessary, such as sweeping, vacuuming, brushing, sanding, milling, or shot blasting. Any cracks or joints, aside from construction joints and expansion joints, must be thoroughly sealed with STAUF repair resin and floor brackets.

Cavities and indentations can be filled with a non self-levelling STAUF levelling compound. Before laying down your flooring, it is important to level the subfloor with an appropriate STAUF levelling compound.

Once the subfloor has been leveled, avoid applying primers.

Taking these steps will ensure a smooth and long-lasting flooring installation.

Processing

To properly adhere the floor covering, it is recommended to use an appropriate application tool and avoid creating any adhesive build-up.

Once the adhesive (Stauf D50) has had sufficient time to dry and the film is transparent, carefully install the floor covering and apply pressure to ensure complete adhesion. It is crucial to avoid any air bubbles by rubbing the floor covering down with a corkboard or roller.

Note that for certain floor coverings with a fleece or similar backing, the drying and installation times may be shorter.

After a brief break, go over the floor covering again thoroughly with a roller or rubbing tool. Be sure to double-check any raised edges and reapply pressure within an hour.

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation.

Accessibility

It is advisable to wait for a period of 24 hours before subjecting the structure to any weight-bearing activity. Additionally, it is recommended to not fuse any joints until at least 48 hours have elapsed.
