Description BAL Level Plus Levelling Compound is a super-smooth, rapid-setting leveller that uniquely can be mixed with the matching latex additive BAL LEVEL PLUS LIQUID as a 2-Part high performance, protein-free, moisture tolerant cementitious leveller for floors – OR – mixed with water as a 1-Part leveller for standard installations. BAL Level Plus Levelling Compound can be used for laying on absorbent internal substrates to prepare standard floor surfaces prior to installing ceramic & porcelain tiles, Glass/ceramic/stone mosaic tiles, natural stone, sheets and soft furnishing (inc. vinyl, linoleum, carpet), wooden flooring (inc. parquet flooring, laminates), resilient flooring, certain floor paints. BAL Level Plus is designed for internal use only in dry areas, unless the substrate has been waterproofed using BAL Waterproof 1C or BAL Tank It. Please Note: This product is not suitable for use as a wearing surface or exterior use, total immersion areas (e.g. swimming pools). Usage: Bed Thickness / Time at 20°C 1-Part with water – bed thickness 2-12mm (10 – 30mm with aggregate) – pot life 25 mins – setting time of 2-3 hours. Type/Classification: Exceeds BS EN 13813 CT – C20 – F6 – Cementitious screed, Compressive Strength is >20N/mm² and Flexural Strength is >6N/mm² after 28 days 2-Part with BAL Level Plus Latex – bed thickness 2-10mm (10 – 30mm with aggregate) – pot life 25 mins – setting time of 2-3 hours. Type/Classification: Exceeds BS EN 13813 CT – C20 – F7 – Cementitious screed, Compressive Strength is >20N/mm² and Flexural Strength is >7N/mm² after 28 days BAL LEVEL PLUS – WITH WATER (1-part) Key Features: Super smooth and just add water. Interior dry floors prior to laying decorative finishes. Used on concrete, cement:sand screeds, terrazzo, quarry tiles and old tile adhesive residues. Pumpable for large areas. BAL LEVEL PLUS & BAL LEVEL PLUS LIQUID (2-part) Key Features (including): Suitable for heavily trafficked floors and underfloor heating systems. Can be applied over bitumen, heated screeds or direct over glazed tiles. Can be used under a Damp proof membrane (DPM). Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are dry, sound, and free from grease, dust and any other contamination/barriers to adhesion. All primed areas should be fully dry. Ensure direct-to-earth sub-floors incorporate an effective damp proof membrane. Surface regularity: Surface Regularity is defined as the deviation in height of the surface over short distances in a local area. In simpler terms, it is the ‘flatness’ or ‘measure of unevenness’ of the surface. This product may be used to correct floors to SR1 ( or – 3mm or less over a 2 metre straight edge). Mixing: – WITH WATER Use a BAL MIXING BUCKET or other suitable bucket. Add approximately 5.3 parts powder to 1 part clean cold water by weight. (see table) Never add more water than recommended as this may lead to excess shrinkage or de-bonding. If using BAL Aggregate – mix 20kg of aggregate per 1 bag of BAL LEVEL PLUS. Mix until lump-free mortar achieved. Allow mixed compound to stand for 2 minutes before re-mixing for 30 seconds. – WITH BAL LEVEL PLUS LIQUID Use a BAL MIXING BUCKET or other suitable bucket. Pour all the liquid (4.5 litres) into clean container. Gradually add all the powder (20kg) to the liquid (4.5L) and mix until smooth lump-free mortar achieved. If using BAL Aggregate – mix 20kg of aggregate per 1 bag of powder (20kg) to liquid (4.5L). Allow mixed compound to stand for 2 minutes before re-mixing for 30 seconds. Application/Usage: Prime the floor surface if required and allow to dry before mixing BAL LEVEL PLUS with water or the latex. Pour mix over sub-floor and spread to required depth using a suitable steel finishing trowel or long hand blade. Surface should be sufficiently smooth to receive floor coverings without further treatment. Note: A spiked roller can be used if required. If any trowel marks remain: rub down before compound has hardened (after 2 hours). Allow new floor surface to set. Depending on thickness of application, a 3mm layer BAL LEVEL PLUS can receive foot traffic after 2 hours and receive tiling after 3 hours. Show existing movement joints within the sub-floor and the levelling compound. Allow the product to set for a minimum of 24 hours when receiving soft floor finishes (inc. vinyl, linoleum, carpet, resilient and certain floor paints).
