There is installation method used for flooring which is adjusted to customer needs and location condition physically:
 Glued directly on concrete. Thickness ± 2mm Permanent method Flat concrete (A MUST) Adequate substrate (A MUST) Adequate moisture (A MUST) Glue used for this type is SikaBond T54 and T55 by Sika Group – Japan. Glue supporting by Sika Group is using elastic bonding system unlike others, such as fox, rajawali, etc. Below is comparison result of elastic bonding system and rigid bonding system:
|
| SikaBond T55 (Elastic Bonding) Only small joints/gaps opened in the parquet < 1 mm | Rigid Bonding (solvent/resin based adhesive) Wide joints / gaps opened in the parquet up to 4 mm, cohesive failure of the adhesive after several cycles! |
Statement above has been proved by: Test area: 2 x 0.5 mm wooden strip (21 mm beech), wood moisture content 9% to 22%

|
| | Expansion can be hold SikaBond up to 2 mm (no failure) | Expansion is 25mm (Cohesive failure + strong barrelling cupping of the wood) |
Other advantage of using SikaBond is SikaBond can reduce impact noise up to 14 desibel.
 Decking will be installed using method below:
 Bengkirai / Kamper / Merbau Underlayer Size: 30 x 50 x 4000 mm permanent or knock down method
