We would recommend the use of parquet 5760 adhesive for bonding the blocks to a suitably prepared sub floor. Do not apply more adhesive than can be worked in ten minutes.

To lay the blocks, a line is drawn down the centre of the room. This line is known as the Crown Line. Lay the first two lines of blocks down the Crown Line with the tongue facing inwards so that the apex of the joints between them falls in line. If basket pattern is required it will be necessary to specify special size blocks.

Continue to lay the floor outwards from the Crown Line until a space remains around the perimeter of the floor sufficient for a border of two blocks wide plus a provision for an expantion gap. Without adhesive lay the last two lines of blocks fringing the border area and mark and cut these blocks plus 12-15mm for expansion. The cut blocks and finally the border blocks are then stuck down.

Finally, sand and seal the floor using a suitable seal for the traffic conditions of the floor.
