SURFACE PREPARATION PROPER PREPARATION
The experts at Kerakoll advise on how to prepare subfloors for a successful tiling installation every time.
Properly preparing the surface is imperative when tiling onto floors. To ensure that the surface is flat enough to tile, Kerakoll recommends the use of its Levelflex range of self- levelling compounds, in particular Levelflex Gel.
This uses Kerakoll’s Gel-Technology for a multipurpose, easy-to-apply compound that can be used on many different substrates including flooring grade plywood, and even metal, producing outstanding results every time.
Its variable rheology and thixotropicity allow you to adapt it to the specific requirements of your project, giving you exceptional control whether you need a free-flowing self- smoothing layer, or a more robust self-levelling application that can be trowelled to greater depths. The surface finish is flawless, avoiding the need for remedial work before tiling.
Levelflex Gel is rapid-setting, capable of receiving foot traffic or tiles after 90 minutes, but still has a prolonged working time of 30 minutes, giving you the best of both worlds.
Where a fast-track solution is required, choose Levelflex Rapid. This has been formulated for fast-track installation; ultra-rapid setting, it is ready to accept foot traffic and tiles after only 30 minutes.
“LEVELFLEX GEL USES KERAKOLL’S GEL-TECHNOLOGY FOR A
MULTIPURPOSE, EASY-TO-APPLY
COMPOUND THAT CAN BE USED ON MANY DIFFERENT SUBSTRATES.”
Prime the floor before levelling with either Primeplus, if the substrate is porous, or Prime+ Grip for non-porous surfaces. Both primers are rapid drying priming and bonding agents that can be used on floors and walls, internally and externally. Developed to be dry in as little as 15 minutes, both Primeplus and Prime+ Grip offer clear-to-see application due to their individual bespoke colouring.
Finally, tile using one of Kerakoll’s family of H40 Gel-Adhesives and finish with Fugabella Color or Fugalite Color grout.
More details on the products can be obtained from the Kerakoll team, who will also be delighted to answer any questions and offer technical advice on particular projects.
