EVERBUILD® 710 Febflor Flexiplus Latex is a latex modified cement based powder, which when mixed with water, can be used to level out uneven floors and screeds. Typical surfaces include concrete, existing ceramic tiles, asphalt, brick, stone etc. This product is intended for use prior to laying ceramic tiles, thermoplastic tiles, lino, wood block flooring or carpet.

NOTE: This product is not suitable for use as a final wearing surface.

USES

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

SUBSTRATE QUALITY / PRE-TREATMENT

Floors to be treated must be free from grease, dust and loose particles. Always prepare floors by dampen- ing with water then priming with Everbuild 501 PVA Bond diluted 1 part PVA to 3 parts water to give a sound, slightly damp surface.

TIMBER FLOORS . EXISTING TILING AND ASPHALT Suitable for interior floors only. Timber Floors must be securely screwed down at 300 mm centers to eliminate movement. Maximum size for wooden floor is 1 m2. Apply EVERBUILD 503 SBR BOND to the floor, diluted 1:1 with clean water. Mix EVERBUILD® 710 Febflor Flexiplus Latex with water and apply to subfloor whilst the bonding coat is still tacky. Degrease and roughen up any glaze on existing tiling prior to laying this product.

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.

Febflor 710 Flexiplus Latex APPLICATION

20 kg of EVERBUILD® 710 Febflor Flexiplus Latex 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 6 mm. Where further finishing is required, allow the surface to stiffen, usually 3⁄4 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 6 mm, may be applied to achieve the required depth. Prime with Everbuild 501 PVA Bond diluted 1:3 with water between layers.

For areas where deep depressions occur, (greater than 6 mm in depth up to 25 mm) , 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 re-mix or add extra water.

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 off the heating for 24 hours before and after application.
• Do not use this product below 4 °C.
• As the manufacturer cannot know all the uses its products may be put to, it is the users responsibility to determine suitability for use. If in doubt, contact Technical Services Department.
• Note that setting time will be greatly increased when overlaying impervious surfaces and in cold weather.
