USE AS INTERNAL LEVELLER

Specially designed for use over a wide variety of subfloors including: strong, stable and prepared flooring substrates such as concrete, sand & cement, cementitious tile backer boards, abraded ceramic and terrazzo tiles, calcium sulphate/anhydrite/hemihydrate screeds, existing cementitious underlayments, damp proof membranes and surface electrical radiant heating systems. It is also suitable for timber floors that are firmly bonded, with no movement, such as plywood and chipboard panels.

Its protein free formulation means that it can be used in biologically sensitive areas.
Ultra Floor Level IT Renovate can be used with underfloor heating systems but depth of the product should be considered to maintain heating efficiency.

SUBFLOOR PREPARATION

All surfaces must be dry and in a sound and stable condition free from contaminants that may prevent adhesion such as dust, oils, grease, surface laitance, water soluble adhesive residues and weak smoothing underlayments etc. Smooth dense surfaces must be roughened by mechanical scabbling to enhance the key. Subfloors should be tested in accordance with BS8203 to ensure a moisture reading of less than 75% RH should be achieved. Where this has not been attained or where there is uncertainty that the subfloor design incorporates a DPC then Ultra Floor DPM IT or Ultra Floor Suppress IT must be applied (see relevant Ultra Floor product technical datasheet).

Ultra Floor recommend consultation with subfloor preparation equipment suppliers to ensure correct equipment for the substrates is selected. All substrates must be above a minimum temperature of 5°C and rising before, during and after application of the primer to ensure fi lm forming and bonding is achieved.

PRIMING

Ultra Floor recommend that subfloors should be primed prior to the application of Ultra Floor Level IT Renovate.

Ultra Floor recommend consultation with subfloor preparation equipment suppliers to ensure correct equipment for the substrates is selected. All substrates must be above a minimum temperature of 5°C and rising before, during and after application of the primer to ensure film forming and bonding is achieved.

Absorbent Subfloors (concrete, sand & cement and existing smoothing underlayments):

Prime with Ultra Floor Prime IT Multi-surface Primer (MSP) typically diluted 3 parts water, 1 part primer and allow to fully dry. Apply a second coat diluted 1:1 with clean water allowing it to dry to a pink film (1-2 hours). On highly porous substrates a third coat may be required diluted at 1:1 and allow to fully dry.

NOTE: To ensure a pinhole free surface is attained priming can be carried out using Ultra Floor Prime IT MSP. Specific priming requirements are needed for calcium sulphate/anhydrite/hemihydrate screeds (see datasheet Substrate section - Calcium Sulphate/Anhydrite/Hemihydrate Screeds).

Non-absorbent Subfloors (power floated concrete, epoxy resin and damp proof membranes):

Priming with Ultra Floor Prime IT MSP is required when applying Ultra Floor Level IT Renovate onto non-absorbent or dense substrates. Apply one coat neat and allow to fully dry.

MIXING

Mixing ratios of powder and water should be controlled to ensure a free flowing material suitable for 3-40mm application. Do not use excess water as this will affect the product performance and finish. For trowel/hand application mix in a clean bucket using clean cold water, as warm water will greatly reduce the product’s working time and may result in shrinkage. Pour 4.5 litres of water into an oversized bucket (20+ litres), and then gradually add the powder whilst mixing continually with an electric drill with power whisk. When all powder is added mix for a further 2 minutes, keeping the whisk below the surface (to minimise air entrapment), until a lump free creamy material is attained.

APPLICATION

Pour onto the floor and spread with a smooth edge steel trowel. Ultra Floor Level IT Renovate has exceptional flow characteristics, a spiked roller may be used to further improve the finish particularly between adjacent units of product. Only spike roll whilst the product is still in its fluid state (immediately due to the limited workability and rapid setting nature).

SUBSTRATES

Check Technical Data Sheet for further information.

USE AS EXTERNAL LEVELLER

Level IT Renovate is suitable for levelling and smoothing, balconies, patios, domestic driveways, garages, walkways, other concrete surfaces exposed to normal foot traffic, and for use under artificial turf. It is not suitable for use on glass reinforced plastic, macadam and asphalt sub floors. It is not recommended for resin finish overlays. It is also not suitable for use as a wear surface and would require finish surface overlays.

SUBFLOOR PREPARATION

The substrate must be suitable for the intended use and be at least 30N/mm2 compressive strength. New substrates must have been cured for at least 28 days. All surfaces must be surface dry and in a sound and stable condition free from contaminants that may prevent adhesion such as dust, oils, grease, surface laitance and curing agents etc. Smooth dense surfaces must be roughened by mechanical scabbling to enhance the key. All substrates must be primed with an Instarmac primer diluted 3 parts water, 1 part primer and allow to fully dry.

APPLICATION

Level IT renovate can be pumped or trowel applied. The recommended thickness range for external use is 3mm-20mm.

PRECAUTIONS

Level IT renovate must be protected from direct sunlight and excessive wind/draughts during application and setting period. The air and ground temperature must be above 5°C throughout the application and curing period. The product should ideally be covered with final finishes within 48 hours. Do not apply in rain or when rain is forecast. Protect from frost.
