Rapid Deck can typically save 60% of time on site - laying 80m2 takes approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes compared to 4 hours 30 minutes - 5 hours using the standard system. |

Can EGGER Protect be laid in rain?
EGGER Protect can be laid using the Rapid Deck system in light rain conditions using EGGER D4 Adhesive for fixing to the joist and for sealing the tongue and groove. |
| |
I have installed under floor heating, which Egger product would you recommend using with this?
We would recommend using EGGER Protect fixed using EGGER D4 Adhesive. This is due to the far superior dimensional stability of EGGER Protect over that of the standard P5 particleboard and other wood based panels, which are more prone to movement from changes in moisture that may be accelerated through underfloor heating. EGGER Protect also has protection to both sides of the board, this offers a more stable and enduring product as well as minimising any potential emissions from the wood based panels due to moisture content recycling.

|
The EGGER Protect flooring I've installed has been laid upside down! Will this be ok?
This should not be a problem, ensure that EGGER D4 Adhesive has come up in a bead along the joint to ensure protection. |
| |
I have forgotten to glue the floor?
The floor will be squeaky and ideally relaid with adhesive applied to the connection between the board and joist and to the tongue and groove of the board. |
|
How do I use EGGER D4 Adhesive?
Use EGGER D4 Adhesive to fix the board to the joist and in the tongue and groove. |
| |
How much EGGER D4 Adhesive should I use?
For 18mm board we recommend that 15 bottles of EGGER D4 Adhesive should be used for every pack of 80 boards. For 22mm board we recommend that 12 bottles of EGGER D4 Adhesive should be used for every pack of 64 boards. |
