BritLevel Flexible Single-Part Levelling Compound extended information

Coverage: 5Kg/m2 at approximately bed 3mm depth.

Conforms to BS EN 13813 CT-C20-F4-B1-5 regulations.

BritLevel Flexible Levelling is an advanced single part, rapid setting levelling compound for application to uneven internal substrates prior to installing floor tiles, vinyl tiles* and other soft floor finishes*. All substrates must be clean and dry with a function PM within the subfloor and not subject to rising damp. Do not use in areas subject to permanent water immersion i.e) swimming pools. BritLevel can be applied from depths of 2mm-18mm in one application and is suitable for use on all common substrates including underfloor heating systems, concrete, stone, ceramic, timber substrates and resilient flooring.

*Soft floor finishes should not be applied until the level has had, depending on site conditions, 24 hours to cure. The moisture content for the flooring to be used must be taken into consideration. Ensure any trowel marks are removed from the BritLevel before laying soft floor coverings. Matted underfloor heating elements should be embedded in a layer of BritLevel before any further work is carried out.

Intended Use

BritLevel is suitable for laying on absorbant and non-absorbant internal substrates; to prepare most floor surfaces including timber floors prior to the installation of ceramic, porcelain, glass, mosaic, natural stone, vinyl tiles, altro flooring, linoleum, carpet, wood flooring, resilient flooring and certain floor paints. BritLevel Flexible is suitable for both matted and piped underfloor heating systems.

Preparation

Ensure all surfaces are dry, free from grease, dust, loose matter and any other contaminates that will affect adhesion to the floor. All primed areas should be dry. Ensure a functioning damp proof membrane has been incorporated within the subfloor.

Mixing Ratio

Add 20kg of BritLevel Flexible into a mixing vessel containing 3.5ltr of clean, cold water. Mix either by hand or with a mechanical mixer to achieve a smooth lump-free pourable liquid. Allow to stand for 2 minutes before re-mixing for 30 seconds. Pour the BritLevel Flexible mix onto the subfloor and assit flow using a steel trowel to achieve the required level.

Cleaning

Remove surplus levelling compound with a damp cloth. Clean tools with water.

Technical

All work should be carried out in accordance to the following Codes of Practice:

• BS 8000: Workmanship on Construction Sites
• BS 5385: Wall and Floor Tiling
• APPLICATION TEMPERATURE: Between 5°C and 30°C.
  (Do NOT use in temperatures below 5 °C or in damp conditions.)
• POT LIFE: 40 minutes
• LIGHT TRAFFIC: 90 minutes*
• FULL USE: 24 hours*

*NOTE – The above times refer to site conditions of 20°C and a 3mm layer of BritLevel Reinforced. A longer drying period will be required at thicker depths. These times will be increased at lower temperatures and reduced at elevated temperatures.

BritLevel Flexibile technical data:

Application

Concrete Screeds/Sand Cement:
New concrete must be allowed a minimum of 6 weeks drying time with less than 0.5% moisture. Must be fully cured and free from efflorescence, laitance, dust, dirt and other loose material. Mechanically remove laitance from the surface of the concrete. Substrates should be primed two coats of BritPrimer pre-diluted 1:1 with clean, cold water. Apply the second coat 90° to the first coat, prior to applying BritLevel Flexible compound.

Note: Cement floors with underfloor heating must be switched off 48hrs prior installation and remain off for 7 days. It can then be turned on gradually over a period of a further 7 days after the levelling of the floor is complete.

Tiling

Must not be carried out until BritLevel Flexible has set after 2-3 hours, depending on site conditions.

Storage

Store unopened in original packaging in cool, dry conditions. BritLevel Flexible has a shelf life of 12 months from the date shown on the packaging. Protect from frost and damp.
