When it comes to preparing your floor for the perfect wood installation, the right primer can make all the difference. Primers are crucial in ensuring that your wood flooring adheres properly, remains stable, and looks beautiful for years to come. Depending on the needs of your project, priming can serve various purposes: preparing for adhesive application to ensure strong bonding, providing an adhesive surface for filling compounds, and preparing absorbent surfaces to prevent over-absorption. In this article, we’ll explore three essential wood floor primers: WAKOL D 3045 Special Primer, WAKOL D 3003 Dispersion Primer, and WAKOL PU 280 Polyurethane Primer. Each product offers specific benefits tailored to different needs, ensuring your flooring project starts on the right foundation.
WAKOL D 3045 Special Primer
Usage: WAKOL D 3045 Special Primer is a ready-to-use dispersion-based primer designed to serve as an adhesive bridge for Wakol levelling compounds. This primer is ideal for priming a variety of surfaces, including:
- WAKOL PU 280 Polyurethane Primer
- WAKOL PU 235 Polyurethane Primer
- WAKOL MS 330 Silane Primer
- Cast asphalt
- Wooden material tiles
- Old waterproof adhesive residues
- Thoroughly cleaned ceramic tiles, natural stone flooring, and terrazzo indoors
Benefits:
- Improved Adhesion: Ensures the leveling compound bonds effectively to the substrate, preventing delamination.
- Surface Preparation: Creates a smooth and stable base, reducing imperfections and providing a uniform surface for the leveling compound.
- Moisture Control: Acts as a barrier to moisture, which can cause issues like swelling or weakening of the leveling compound.
- Dust Sealing: Locks in dust and loose particles, ensuring a cleaner and more efficient leveling process.
- Non-Slip Surface: Creates a non-slip surface for the subsequent filling, replacing the need for sanding in connection with reaction resin.
- Economical and Time-Saving: Fast curing and easy roll application make it a cost-effective and efficient choice.
WAKOL D 3003 Dispersion Primer
Usage: WAKOL D 3003 Dispersion Primer is a ready-to-use dispersion primer suitable for a variety of absorbent substrates. This primer is perfect for priming before applying leveling compounds indoors on surfaces such as:
- Cement
- Calcium sulphate
- Concrete subfloors
- Gypsum-fibre boards
- Wakol levelling compounds
- Wakol filling compounds
- Water-resistant adhesive residues
Benefits:
- Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of absorbent substrates, making it a flexible option for various flooring types, including wood, laminate, vinyl, carpet, and tile.
- Enhanced Adhesion: Improves the bond between the substrate and the leveling compound, ensuring a durable and stable flooring foundation.
- Surface Preparation: Provides a smooth and even surface, facilitating the application of subsequent layers.
- Moisture Control: Helps manage moisture levels, protecting the leveling compound from potential damage.
- Dust Sealing: Seals in dust and loose particles, promoting a cleaner and more efficient leveling process.
WAKOL PU 280 Polyurethane Primer – Moisture Barrier
Usage: WAKOL PU 280 Polyurethane Primer is a one-component polyurethane primer designed for concrete screeds and various other surfaces. This primer offers a range of benefits that make it ideal for addressing specific issues associated with absorbent substrates:
- Sealing the Surface: Prevents excessive absorption of adhesives or leveling compounds, ensuring they remain effective.
- Enhanced Adhesion: Creates a better bond between the substrate and the flooring materials, reducing the risk of flooring failure.
- Moisture Barrier: Blocks moisture from penetrating through the substrate, protecting the flooring from damage.
- Surface Preparation: Provides a smooth, even surface, facilitating a better application of subsequent layers.
- Dust Sealing: Locks in dust and loose particles, creating a cleaner environment for adhesive application.
Benefits:
- Quick-Drying and Solvent-Free: Ideal for priming various surfaces before leveling and laying wood, tile, parquet, and more. Its quick drying time and solvent-free formulation make it convenient and eco-friendly.
- Solidification of Screeds: Reinforces the upper edge zone of screeds, particularly those that have been abraded or sanded, providing a stable base for adhesive.
- High Moisture Blocking: Capable of blocking moisture up to 6 CM%, making it a reliable choice for moisture control in flooring installations.
- Long-Lasting Effect: Ensures the longevity and durability of your flooring by preventing moisture-related issues like warping or mold growth.
