The Solid Wood Flooring Company were asked by a client to manufacture a bespoke parquet panel as well as a 60-degree natural oiled chevron, as part of a large refurbishment at 3 Robert Street London.

The flooring was fully bonded using their MS polymer adhesive which is solvent free.

The SW890 adhesive is an Elastic adhesive with a movement accommodation factor (MAF) of approximately 300% of the adhesive bed thickness.

As such it distributes and lowers all shear stresses caused by expansion and contraction across the entire surface area of the adhesive, thus avoiding high stress peaks which normally form at the edges of boards with rigid adhesives causing premature failure.

In this way the Elastic SW890 will withstand excessive movement and stress caused by changing climatic conditions throughout the seasons.

The client used the company’s expert fitters to carry out the work on this large refurbishment to guarantee a quality installation. Chevron needs professional expert fitters to guarantee the perfect crown line form which the completed floor is set against.
