Bona Gap Master - no more gaps in wooden floors

Efficiently bridge gaps in wooden floors with Bona Gap Master to maintain aesthetic appeal and enhance longevity. Whether you're a homeowner seeking a quick solution or a professional pursuing perfection, Bona Gap Master delivers precision and grace to eliminate floor gaps.

Why do gaps in wooden floor appear?

Parquet floors, though visually appealing and resilient, are also sensitive to fluctuations in humidity and temperature. Over time, these variations can result in:

1. Natural Expansion and Contraction: Wood is a natural material, and it responds to environmental factors. As humidity rises, wood expands. Conversely, during drier months, it contracts, leading to gaps.
2. Ageing and Wear: Over time, wooden floors can wear down, especially in high-traffic areas, leading to gaps and cracks.
3. Improper Installation: Sometimes, the initial laying down of the wooden planks isn’t perfect, leading to gaps appearing over time.

Bona got the solution - Bona Gap Master 

Bona Gap Master is a silicon-free, acrylic-based mastic for sealing gaps towards skirting boards and thresholds. The mastic is available in 15 different colours and can be finished with all Bona lacquers when dry. Its material is permanently elastic (15 % maximum movement tolerance), and it is solvent-free and odourless. It can also be used to repair damages and fill gaps and cracks in a wood floor.

• Permanent elastic 
• Solvent-, isocyanate-, and silicon free
• Odorless
• Excellent self- and side bonding
• High initial and final bonding strength
• Top-coatable with all Bona finishes

Colour Matching: It comes in a variety of colours, ensuring a seamless blend with most floor shades.

                                  How to prepare the floor beforing applying Gap Master?

The floor must be dry, firm, and free of dust and grease. At least one of the surfaces to be bonded must be absorbent or diffusion permeable. Before sealant application, remove any cement slurry, mould release agents or impregnations. In renovation projects, old sealant, remains of paint and loose material must be fully removed. The joint must always be provided with a suitable, correctly dimensioned backing (e.g. PE cord, mineral wool) to prevent adhesion on three faces. To avoid contamination and to achieve a precise joint, Bona recommend masking the joint edges with adhesive tape before application.

How to apply Bona Gap Master?

1. Cut the dome of the tube with a sharp knife, taking care not to damage the thread. Screw the nozzle on.
2. Cut the nozzle at an angle to suit the size and shape of the joint. Apply a continuous bead ensuring contact is made with both sides of the gap.
3. Immediately smooth bead with flat edge, sponge or wetted finger. Smoothing is not only recommended for optical reasons, but also guarantees close contact and good adhesion to the substrate.
4. Any adhesive tape used can be removed immediately after the application.

Consumption - 310 ml of sealant is sufficient for about 12 running meters of joints measuring 5 x 5 mm or about 3 running meters of joints measuring 10 x 10 mm.
