MPN: 813560

Barcode: 5055047206316

Sika Sikafloor 122 is a cement-based self-levelling compound designed to prepare internal floors for various final coverings, providing a smooth surface on challenging substrates.

Who This Product Is For

This product suits both professional flooring installers and experienced DIY users working on residential or commercial floor preparation projects. It is designed for those preparing surfaces for final floor coverings where a level, smooth base is required.

It works for projects involving tiling, vinyl installation, laminate flooring, or creating bases for underfloor heating systems where thermal efficiency matters.

Key Features

• Self-Smoothing Formula: Delivers a seamless finish, ready for final floor coverings.
• Low Shrinkage: Reduces the risk of cracks and imperfections during curing.
• Feather Edge Application: Achieves precision results even on irregular surfaces.
• Underfloor Heating Compatibility: Works with heated screeds and systems.
• Quick Setting: Supports foot traffic in 2-4 hours at standard room temperature.

Practical Applications

The Sika Sikafloor 122 works for resolving common flooring challenges across various settings:

• Smoothing concrete and sand/cement screeds.
• Working on substrates such as quarry tiles, terrazzo, and ceramics.
• Use beneath underfloor heating systems, ensuring efficient heat distribution.
• Creating a stable base for floor coverings, including vinyl, lino, and timber.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This self-levelling compound is used during the floor preparation stage, after surface cleaning and priming, but before installing final floor coverings. It creates the smooth, level base required for proper installation of materials like tiles, vinyl, or laminate.

When used with underfloor heating systems, it forms the thermal layer that encases heating elements while providing a flat surface for the finished floor.

How to Use

1. Surface Preparation:
   • Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose particles. Any cracks or holes should be repaired before application. Prime porous or highly absorbent surfaces with a slurry primer to improve adhesion where needed.
2. Mixing:
   • Gradually add the bag’s contents to the recommended amount of water, stirring continuously in a suitable mixing bucket. Mix until the mixture is lump-free.
3. Application:
   • Pour the mixture onto the prepared surface and spread evenly using a trowel or squeegee. The product will self-level, ensuring a smooth finish with minimal effort.
4. Thickness Control:
   • Apply up to a maximum thickness of 6mm. For areas requiring finer detail, feather the edges for a seamless transition.
5. Curing Time:
   • Allow 2-4 hours for light foot traffic at 20°C. For optimal results, ensure the area remains undisturbed during this period.
