Self Levelling Compounds
Self levelling compound is often known as floor screed or floor levelling compound and is essential for creating an even floor surface in preparation for upper flooring layers. Many can be used over a variety of existing uneven substrates, using gravity to allow the latex mixture to self-level. Flexible self levelling compounds can be used over underfloor heating systems and timber floors such as plywood. Self levelling compounds can range from a feather edge finish up to depths of 50mm.
Enhanced Surface Quality
Smooth Finish
: Provides a perfectly smooth and even surface, which is ideal for further flooring installations.
Improved Adhesion
: Creates an ideal substrate for adhesives, ensuring that flooring materials bond securely and evenly.
Durability and Strength
Improved Load-Bearing Capacity
: Once cured, self-leveling compound forms a strong, durable surface capable of handling significant weight and foot traffic.
Crack-Resistant
: Helps prevent cracking and other common floor damage, maintaining the integrity of the surface over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Self levelling compound, also known as floor screed or floor levelling compound, is used to create a smooth, even surface before laying tiles or other flooring. Without it, any dips or raised areas in your existing subfloor can cause tiles to rock, crack, or lift over time, so applying a self levelling compound first is an important step in achieving a long-lasting, professional finish.
Yes, flexible self levelling compounds in our range are specifically designed to be used over underfloor heating systems. The flexibility allows the compound to accommodate the slight expansion and contraction that occurs as the heating system warms and cools, preventing cracking in the finished floor surface.
Flexible self levelling compounds in our range are compatible with timber floors including plywood subfloors. Standard rigid compounds are not recommended for timber because timber naturally moves with changes in temperature and humidity, so always check the product specification to ensure you are selecting a flexible option if your subfloor is timber-based.
Our self levelling compounds can be applied at a range of depths, from a feather edge finish for very minor imperfections right up to depths of 50mm for more significantly uneven substrates. This makes them suitable for anything from a light skim to fill small low spots to a full deep pour to correct a badly uneven floor.
Drying times vary between products, but most self levelling compounds are ready to tile over within a few hours under normal conditions, though some may require up to 24 hours before heavy foot traffic or tiling commences. Always check the specific drying time listed on your chosen product page, and ensure the area is well ventilated to help the compound cure properly.
