Professional Timber Flooring Adhesives
The correct flooring adhesive is an important part of a successful timber installation. Engineered timber flooring requires an adhesive system suited to the flooring product, subfloor condition and installation method.
Dex Flooring stocks professional flooring adhesives and preparation products for timber installations, including MS polymer adhesives, moisture-control systems and primers.
Flooring Adhesive Options
WAKOL Flooring Adhesive
WAKOL MS 230 is a one-component MS polymer adhesive designed for engineered timber, parquet and other compatible wood flooring applications. It provides an elastic bond and can be used on suitable absorbent and non-absorbent indoor subfloors.
Acouslime Flooring Adhesive
Acouslime flooring adhesives are designed for timber flooring installations where strong adhesion, flexibility and acoustic or moisture-control performance may be required, depending on the specific product used.
Moisture Control & Primers
Some timber flooring installations require additional moisture protection or subfloor preparation before adhesive is applied. Products such as moisture seals and primers may form part of the installation system where specified.
Choosing the Right Timber Flooring Glue
The best adhesive depends on several factors including the timber flooring type, board dimensions, subfloor material, moisture conditions and manufacturer installation requirements.
Using an unsuitable adhesive or applying the correct product incorrectly can affect flooring performance. Always follow the product technical data sheet and flooring manufacturer's installation instructions.
Direct Stick Engineered Timber Installation
Engineered timber flooring can be installed using a direct-stick method where the boards are bonded directly to a properly prepared subfloor using a compatible timber flooring adhesive.
Before installation, the subfloor should be assessed for moisture, cleanliness, strength and flatness. Additional preparation such as grinding, priming or levelling may be required depending on site conditions.

Timber Flooring Adhesive FAQs
What adhesive should I use for engineered timber flooring?
The correct adhesive depends on the flooring product, board size, subfloor and installation system. MS polymer timber flooring adhesives are commonly used for engineered timber direct-stick installations, but the manufacturer's installation requirements should always be followed.
Can timber flooring adhesive be used over concrete?
Yes, many timber flooring adhesives can be applied over properly prepared concrete. The slab should first be assessed for moisture, flatness and surface condition, and a primer or moisture-control system may be required.
What is an MS polymer flooring adhesive?
MS polymer adhesive is a flexible flooring adhesive commonly used for timber and engineered timber installation. It provides strong adhesion while allowing a degree of movement within the flooring system.
Do I need a moisture barrier under timber flooring?
This depends on the subfloor moisture condition, adhesive system and flooring manufacturer's requirements. A moisture-control product may be necessary on some concrete slabs before timber flooring is installed.
Does Dex Flooring sell WAKOL flooring adhesive?
Yes. Dex Flooring stocks WAKOL MS 230 Flooring Adhesive along with other timber flooring adhesives and preparation products.
