Description

Tilemaster LevelFlex DEPTH Levelling Compound is a flexible, fibre reinforced, rapid setting, protein free smoothing and levelling compound, designed for preparing subfloors prior to the installation of floor coverings. Tilemaster LevelFlex DEPTH has been developed to allow the product to be applied from depths of 2mm – 85mm in one application without the need for additional aggregate, whilst still allowing, due to its rapid setting and drying properties, ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tiles to be fitted from as little as 2.5 hours.

Tilemaster LevelFlex DEPTH Levelling Compound can be used on a large variety of substrates, including sand & cement screeds, concrete, timber, flooring grade asphalt/bitumen and existing ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tiles.

Tilemaster LevelFlex DEPTH Levelling Compound can also can be used on underfloor heated screeds, retro fit overlay underfloor heating systems and is ideal for encapsulating electric underfloor heating elements.

In ideal conditions, Tilemaster LevelFlex DEPTH Levelling Compound will be set to walk on after 2.5 hours. Tilemaster LevelFlex DEPTH must be left to dry before applying the final surface flooring. This is typically after 2.5 hours for ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tiles. Thicker applications may require a longer time to dry prior to applying floor coverings. If there is no airflow within site conditions, the drying time may be restricted.

Advantages:

  • Tilemaster LevelFlex DEPTH can be applied From 2mm – 85mm in one application
  • Rapid Setting, Walk On After 2.5 Hours
  • Tile On After 2.5 Hours
  • Suitable For Use Above Underfloor
  • Heating Systems
  • Suitable As A Wearing Surface
  • Moisture Tolerant
  • Protein Free
  • Pumpable

Coverage:
20kg will cover 4.5m² at 3mm thickness.

Preparation:
Preparation of all substrates is crucial to the success and longevity of all installations. All substrates, as stated in BS 5385, must be rigid, flat, clean, dry and sound and be free of any contaminants. Anything that could compromise adhesion to the substrate, such as dust, dirt, oil, grease, laitance, sealers, waxes and curing agents will need to be mechanically removed. Ensure that all substrates and backgrounds are strong enough to carry the weight of Tilemaster LevelFlex DEPTH as well as all finished floor coverings and fixing materials.

Priming:
Substrates require priming prior to the application of Tilemaster LevelFlex DEPTH. Priming the substrate will minimise the risk of pinholes forming, allow for the best flow properties and will also prolong the working time of the product.
Porous Surfaces: Suitably prepared and sufficiently dry substrates, prime with Tilemaster Primeplus diluted 1 part Primeplus to 3 parts water. If the substrate is overly porous then further coats of diluted primer may be required. Non-Porous Surfaces: Substrates such as Tilemaster FAST One Coat DPM, flooring grade asphalt & bitumen, steel and existing vinyl, ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tiles should be primed with one coat of Tilemaster Prime Grip. Primers should be used in accordance with instructions printed on the bottle and must be allowed to dry before applying Tilemaster LevelFlex DEPTH.

Mixing & Application:
A 20kg bag of Tilemaster LevelFlex DEPTH requires 4.5 – 5.0 litres of water. Add the pre-measured water to a clean bucket and slowly add the powder whilst mixing with an electric paddle. Mix until a smooth and lump free consistency is obtained. Do not add further water once mixed. Exceeding 5.0 litres of water per 20kg will result in water bleed, extended drying times, a weakened mix and poor surface finish.

N.B: Once mixed, Tilemaster LevelFlex DEPTH will remain workable in the bucket for 25 – 35 minutes at 23°C. Due to the rapid setting properties of Tilemaster LevelFlex DEPTH, it is important to apply the mixed product without delay. Pour the compound onto the prepared surface and trowel to the required depth of between 2mm and 85mm. If the depth of compound applied allows, the use of an aeration roller can be used, but is not required, to remove entrapped air and smooth out flow lines. The setting time will then depend on atmospheric conditions/temperatures – it will be slowed by lower temperatures and accelerated by higher temperatures.

Pump Applications:
Tilemaster LevelFlex DEPTH is ideal for pump applications. Mix in accordance with the pump manufacturer’s instructions and ensure that regular flow checks are carried out. Ensure the water content is correct and that there is no surface separation. Test samples of the product must be conducted to ensure the pump lines are able to send product through before the product starts to set.

Setting & Covering:
In ideal conditions, LevelFlex DEPTH will be set to walk on after 2.5 hours. LevelFlex DEPTH must be left to dry before applying the final surface flooring. This is typically after 2.5 hours for ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tiles. Thicker applications may require a longer time to dry prior to applying floor coverings. If there is no airflow within site conditions, the drying time may be restricted.
