EVERBUILD® FEB® 708 Febflor Universal

FAST CURING COMPOUND FOR PREPARING UNEVEN CONCRETE AND SCREED FLOORS

EVERBUILD® FEB® 708 Febflor Universal is a cement based product used to level out uneven floors and screeds prior to laying ceramic tiles, thermoplastic tiles, lino, wood block flooring or carpet. Mix with either water or Everbuild® 709 Febflor Latex Plus to give a free flowing self levelling topping. When mixed as directed, the compound provides a free flowing mix that sets in 2 hours and can be overlaid after only 8 hours at normal temperatures. NOTE: This product is not suitable for use as a final wearing surface.

  • Fast setting - sets in 2-4 hours for foot traffic.
  • Can be overlaid after 8 hours.
  • Up to 6mm in depth in one coat.
  • Protein (casein) free.
  • Enhanced flow properties coupled with long open time giving easy trowelling.

Application steps

APPLICATION

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

20kg of self levelling powder 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 6mm. Where further finishing is required, allow the surface to stiffen, usually ¾ 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 6mm, may be applied to achieve the required depth. Prime with Everbuild® PVA Bond diluted 1:3 with water between layers.

For areas where deep depressions occur, (greater than 6mm in depth up to 15mm) , add 1 part of clean, dry sharp sand to 1 part EVERBUILD® FEB® 708 Febflor Universal. 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 remix or add extra water. Alternatively, use SikaLevel Deep Fill levelling compound which fills up to 50mm in one coat.

For areas where heavy loading and/or trafficking are anticipated on the final surface, mix EVERBUILD® FEB® 708 Febflor Universal with neat Everbuild® 709 Febflor Latex Plus rather than water. This will improve flexibility, adhesion and durability of the screed. The mixing ratio is again 20kg of powder to 5ltrs of 709 Febflor Latex Plus. Again, prime the floor with Everbuild® PVA diluted 1:3 with water.
