Why should I glue down my wooden floor rather than floating it?

Higher quality installation, with solid feel. No movement under foot.
No “hollow sound” like floating installation, which is noisy particularly with a heel
It is possible to repair a damaged board in the middle of the installed area.
Best result after sanding after some years. Floating floors move which affects the result after sanding the floor.
You can install big areas without “joints” between different rooms or big areas.
You do not have to have edge trims around the perimeter of the floor.
The Wakol adhesives are specifically rated for under floor heating.

Newest technology, firm elastic which restricts the floors movement. Less cupping, and general movement of the floor.
Environmental friendly, low VOC.
Easy application
Easy removability from pre-finished parquet surface if glue is spilt on the floor. Does not mark the floor like a polyurethane.

No mixing, as is one component.
No wastage, as you do not have to mix a hardener.
Environmental friendly
Less consumption
Easy application, cures in hours, allowing same day installation of wooden floor.
Fast curing.
Strengthen up weak concrete subfloors because it penetrates the subfloor, it is not creating a skin on top like many epoxies.
Blocks moisture to a higher level than Epoxy

Higher security when the wooden floor starts moving due to different climatic conditions (relative humidity, temperature).
No “hollow sound”, which you get with the sausages as there are hollow spots between the stripes of glue.
You can install big areas without “joints” between different rooms or big areas
