Hi,

I’m not entirely sure if this is the right forum or subtopic for my question, as it concerns wood (but also screed). I would really appreciate some opinions.

I’m currently facing the huge range of adhesives for solid wood planks (installed on an anhydrite screed with underfloor heating).

At first, I was (for whatever reason) leaning towards Stauf, as they also have a nice chart showing which adhesive suits which application. However, their FAQ suggests different adhesives. There are one-component, two-component, rigid, semi-flexible adhesives, and so on.

Does anyone have a good recommendation? I know the manufacturer names and product types, but deciding is hard... Maybe there’s a flooring installer here who’d be willing to share some insider knowledge.

I understand there is no perfect all-in-one solution, but honestly, I’d prefer an adhesive where I pay a bit more to exchange money for peace of mind. In other words: I’d rather spend a few extra dollars upfront than have trouble later.

Thanks!

And according to the technical guidelines, at least a dispersion-based primer is required, and in my view, also a filler layer.

Thank you. Honestly, based on my gut feeling after carefully vacuuming, I would have instinctively applied my preferred primer, PCI Gisogrund (diluted 1:1) (sorry for mentioning the brand name, I hope that’s okay).

As far as I know, it is relatively universal, and I use it for almost everything I do in construction that requires priming. Especially for tiles, filler or leveling compounds, and sometimes even for more challenging plastering work depending on the substrate.
