Setcrete has published an ‘easy check’ guide for its range of levelling compounds and related floor preparation products, which includes a quick reference chart to facilitate product section based on subfloor type, environmental conditions and level of trafficking, as well as floorcovering compatibility.
The six-page guide features Setcrete’s full range of high-performance floor levelling compounds, damp proof membranes, primers and repair mortars.
Levelling compounds can be specified for light, medium or heavy duty application, suitability for use over screeds containing underfloor heating and for use in high solar gain areas, such as conservatories. The guide also offers options for moisture tolerant levelling compounds, application over plywood and for application over subfloors contaminated with old adhesive residues.
Levelling compounds can also be quickly compared by application thickness, and drying and curing times, which determine how quickly the installed levelling compound becomes ‘walk on hard’ and when it is ready to receive a floorcovering.
Commenting on the new guide, Setcrete Brand Manager Peter Wilson explains: “As well as offering everyday levelling compounds, the Setcrete range includes specialist and high performance products that offer time saving and fast track solutions and compounds formulated for specific applications, such as installation over plywood or outdoor projects.
“The guide simplifies product section for both builders and merchants offering advice on selection and ensures builders take away the most suitable product for their job.”
