Floor Levelling Compound – Latex – Indoor & Commercial Use

Product Overview

This Industrial Grade Self-Smoothing Compound is supplied as a grey, cement-based powder. Mix with water to form a free-flowing, self-levelling liquid. Designed for interior use, it provides a rapid-setting, durable base for floor coverings on a wide range of prepared sub-floors. The latex-modified formulation enhances flexibility and adhesion, creating a sound, smooth surface ready for resilient, textile, wood, or ceramic finishes. It is not intended as a final wearing surface and must be covered with a suitable floor finish. The product is typically applied between 3mm and 12mm in a single application.

Features & Benefits

• Enhanced Flexibility: Latex modification allows for minor substrate movement, ideal for suspended timber and mixed sub-floors.
• Rapid Setting and Drying: Accepts light foot traffic after approximately 4 hours and most floor coverings within 16-24 hours at 20°C and 3mm thickness, supporting fast-track installation.
• Excellent Adhesion: Bonds strongly to a wide range of properly prepared substrates, including concrete, screeds, stone, brick, terrazzo, and rigid plywood.
• Self-Smoothing Performance: High-flow formulation enables easy application and a level, uniform finish with minimal trowelling.
• Protein-Free Composition: Eliminates the risk of adverse reactions with sensitive adhesives and maintains suitability in hygienic environments.
• Underfloor Heating Compatible: Suitable for use over piped warm water underfloor heating systems.
• Versatile Application Thickness: Can be applied between 3mm and 12mm in a single pour, with deeper isolated repairs achievable up to 100mm when used with a suitable binder.

Applications

• Interior Floor Levelling: Smooths and levels uneven sub-floors prior to new floor coverings.
• Resilient Flooring Preparation: Provides a stable, smooth surface for vinyl, LVT, and rubber flooring.
• Tile and Stone Finishes: Creates a reliable, even substrate for ceramic or natural stone tiles.
• Timber and Textile Coverings: Suitable for use beneath carpet, wood, and laminate floors.
• Underfloor Heating Systems: Appropriate for use over embedded heating systems under controlled conditions.

Installation Guidance

• Substrate Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, dry, sound, and free from contaminants such as dust, grease, or existing adhesive residues.
• Priming: Always apply a recommended primer appropriate for the substrate.
