Product Description Everbuild Self Levelling Floor Compound is a cement based product used to level out uneven floors and screeds prior to laying ceramic tiles, thermoplastic tiles, lino, wood block flooring or carpet. Mix with either water or EVERBUILD FLOOR FLEX PLUS to give a free flowing self levelling topping. When mixed as directed, the compound provides a free flowing mix that sets in 90 minutes and can be overlaid after only 8 hours at normal temperatures. NOTE: This product is not suitable for use as a final wearing surface. Benefits     Enhanced flow properties coupled with long open time giving easy trowelling.     Fast setting - sets in 8 hours.     Up to 6mm in depth in one coat.     Protein (casein) free.     Internal/external use. Areas for Use For levelling uneven subfloors prior to covering/tiling Limitations Always mix with clean fresh water and always-prime floors as directed. The product will not resist rising damp. In these conditions, use in conjunction with blackjack D.P.M liquid dampproof membrane as directed. Never exceed the quantity of water stated. This will dramatically reduce strength and cause cracking. Do not mix more compound than can be laid in 20 minutes and never try to reconstitute once the product has set. On substrates where underfloor heating is in place, switch of the heating for 24 hours before and after application. Do not use this product below 4oC. For deep floor depressions, up to 50mm in one coat, use EVERBUILD DEEP FILL. In areas where movement is anticipated, always use Everbuild FLOOR FLEX PLUS rather than water. NO OTHER MANUFACTURERS PRODUCT MAY BE USED. Note that setting time will be greatly increased when overlaying impervious surfaces and in cold weather. Surface Preparation SAND/CEMENT RENDER Allow at least four weeks drying before application. Dampen floors and prime with EVERBUILD PVA diluted 1:3 with water. Mix with water as detailed below. For surfaces to be subjected to heavy foot traffic, use EVERBUILD FLOOR FLEX PLUS rather than water when mixing the powder. TIMBER FLOORS Suitable for interior floors only.  Floors must be securely screwed down at 300mm centres. Apply Everbuild SBR Bond to the floor at a 1:1 dilution. Mix Everbuild Self Levelling Compound with Everbuild SBR Bond diluted 1:1 with water (20kg of powder to 5ltrs of 1:1 liquid mix) and apply to subfloor whilst the bonding coat is still tacky.      EXISTING VINYL TILES Ensure tiles are clean and sound. Prime with Everbuild SBR diluted 1:1 with water and apply floor level compound mixed with FLOOR FLEX PLUS over tiles whilst primer coat is still tacky.  Allow 24 hours before applying final covering. Application Floors to be treated must be free from grease, dust and loose particles. Always prepare floors by dampening with water then priming with Everbuild PVA Bond diluted 1 part PVA to 3 parts water to give a sound, slightly damp surface. 20kg of self levelling powder will require 4 litres of water. Always add the powder to water. This should be carried out by stepwise addition whilst stirring until a free flowing creamy compound is produced.  Pour the mixture out into the prepared floor and allow it to find its own level. Trowel down lightly to achieve an overall thickness not exceeding 6mm. Where further finishing is required, allow the surface to stiffen, usually to one hour after application, and lightly sprinkle with water and carefully trowel to produce a smooth appearance. Do not sprinkle excessive water or over trowel at this stage. Additional layers, each not exceeding 6mm, may be applied to achieve the required depth. Prime with Everbuild PVA Bond diluted 1:3 with water between layers. For areas where deep depressions occur, (greater than 6mm in depth up to 15mm) , Add 1 part of clean, dry sharp sand to 1 part Self Levelling Compound. The sand should be added after mixing powder with water. It is advisable to reduce the amount of mixing water before adding sand, and then top up with water to achieve the correct consistency. Note: the flow characteristics will be affected by addition of the sand. If the product starts to stiffen or set, DO NOT try to remix or add extra water. Alternatively, use EVERBUILD DEEP FILL levelling compound which fills upto 50mm in one coat. For areas where heavy loading and/or trafficking are anticipated on the final surface, mix Everbuild Self Levelling Floor Compound with neat Everbuild FLOOR FLEX PLUS rather than water. This will improve flexibility, adhesion and durability of the screed. The mixing ratio is again 20kg of powder to 5ltrs of FLOOR FLEX PLUS. Again, prime the floor with Everbuild PVA diluted 1:3 with water. Coverage 20kg covers approximately 4m2  at 3mm (standard) depending on porosity of substrate
