Setcrete 2K Pro floor levelling compound has served up the perfect subfloor surface for the installation of J2 Flooring LVT planks in a residential extension project in Eccleshall, Staffordshire.
The home’s previous kitchen and dining room had been knocked through to create an open plan kitchen/dining area, and the two, adjacent subfloors required levelling up to create a smooth, uniform subfloor base.
Having first primed the subfloors with Setcrete Acrylic Primer, the builder applied a layer of Setcrete 2K Pro floor levelling compound over the whole floor area, levelling up the old and new floor areas to made sure the subfloor was completely smooth and even.
Setcrete 2K Pro is a two-component ‘bag and bottle’ moisture-tolerant levelling compound that can be applied between 3mm and 30mm thick, with a walk on hard time of 90 minutes, and is ready to receive a floor covering after four hours.
After a layer of Setcrete Rapid Set DPM (damp proof membrane) was applied and had fully cured, a further coat of Setcrete Acrylic Primer was then applied before a final layer of Setcrete 2K Pro floor levelling compound to create a super smooth base onto which J2 Flooring bevelled-edge ‘Carpenters Oak’ LVT planks could be installed, resulting in a high-quality, contemporary finish.
