Latex
Self-levelling compounds for achieving perfectly flat surfaces.
Latex flooring is a type of flooring that involves the use of self-levelling compounds to create a smooth and level surface. This technique involves pouring a liquid mixture onto the floor and then spreads out evenly to fill in any gaps or uneven areas. This results in a perfectly flat and level surface, making it an ideal choice for areas that need a smooth and seamless finish. Latex flooring is also water-resistant, which means it can be used in areas where moisture is a concern, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens. In addition, it can be used as a finish for new flooring installations or as a way to repair existing floors that need to be updated or improved. The thickness of the latex layer can vary from 2mm to 10mm, depending on the level of repair required.
FAQ
How is latex flooring applied?
Latex flooring is applied by mixing the self-levelling compound with water to create a thin liquid consistency, which is then poured onto the surface to be levelled. The compound then spreads out and levels itself, creating a smooth and even surface.
What types of surfaces can be levelled with latex flooring?
Latex flooring can be applied to a variety of surfaces, including concrete, wood, and even existing vinyl or tile floors. However, the surface must be properly cleaned and prepared beforehand for the best results.
Can latex flooring be used with underfloor heating?
Yes, latex flooring is suitable for use with underfloor heating systems, as it has good thermal conductivity and allows for efficient heat transfer.
