RAISING EXPECTATIONS
We’ve been hearing a lot about how the Setcrete floor-levelling range can benefit commercial installations recently. This issue, we find out how it proved just the ticket for a residential property in Birmingham.

Setcrete Deep Base Levelling Compound can deliver 50mm thickness in just one application and is suitable for a wide range of floor types, including sand/cement screed, concrete, granolithic, terrazzo, ceramic and quarry tiles. The water- mix product is latex free and has excellent self-levelling and flow
