Parquet Floor Adhesive

[ikearns]

After getting some advice from parquet floor fitters on a DIY project I am told that it is fine to leave the current tiled floor in situ and lay my reclaimed parquet floor over the top (excellent news!).

The next issue seems to be that opinion on adhesive differs massively; some only use SIKABOND whilst others say any flooring adhesive for wooden floors will be fine.

Has anyone on here got a preferred brand or does the following from Screwfix tick the necessary boxes??

Help and comments are appreciated

I have always used lecol 5500 under most conditions it doesn't need priming, even in situations where priming may be necessary such as sandy, dusty bases, then priming is done with thinned adhesive. The flooring I did in my Hallway and bathroom hasn't moved at all in 15 years.

Have decided to go with SIKAbond.

Just one thing whatever you use over ceramics, make sure they are well cleaned and de-greased first/score the surface up a bit first

Anyone got a kilo or two of Lecol 5500 or SikaBond 5500S going spare? Got a patching job of 1.5m2 and balking at having to buy 16kg! Can't find smaller cans.
