How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This levelling compound is used during the surface preparation phase of flooring installation. After substrate cleaning and priming, the compound is mixed and applied to create a level base. Once cured, the prepared surface is ready for the installation of final floor coverings such as tiles, carpets, or wood flooring.

The product works as part of a system where proper surface preparation with appropriate primer ensures good adhesion, followed by timely application and curing before proceeding with the next stages of flooring installation.

How to Use

1. Surface Preparation:
