Bona R410

Bona R410 damp proofing flooring adhesive is a water and solvent free epoxy resin that is perfect for use on cementitious sub-floors where the relative humidity reading (R.H.) is as high as 90 - 100%.

Used prior to the installation of timber floors and other wooden flooring, Bona R410 can provide an effective barrier against moisture from sub-floors and areas where there is an absence of DPM (damp proof membrane).

Easily applied with a paint brush, paint roller or trowel, Bona R410 damp proofing flooring adhesive is a two coat system that has excellent adhesion properties on a wide range of substrates.

Applied in 2 coats, the first coat should be allowed to dry for around 2-3 hours, the second coat is then applied in an alternate direction, overall drying time of Bona R410 damp proofing flooring adhesive is approximately 24 hours.

Aluminium Foam Underlay

Multi Underlay

Envoy ‘Multi’ makes the ideal base for installation of engineered flooring. It ensures a more solid feel than simply ‘floating’ the floor over a conventional underlay as the flooring is actually held firmly in place by the adhesive film.

The underlay is laid in 1m widths in the opposite direction of the new flooring. The new flooring is then installed a row at a time. The peel off film is then pulled off the underlay beneath the wood flooring ensuring a strong and even bond. Should your new wood floor expand or contract at any time, the Envoy will expand and contract with it, helping to eliminate unsightly gaps in the boards.

  • Impact sound reduction
  • Conformable and Shock Absorbant
  • Easy and Quick to lay
  • Lightweight and elastic
  • Suitable for underfloor heating systems
  • Smooth's out irregular surfaces
  • Adhesive back for strong & quick application
  • Drum Sound Improvemen
