Description

Does your floor need a tricky refurb or a change of surface?  Our Smet Supported Partner, contractor Maco Construction, uses a practical solution for professional flooring contractors or tilers.

VS 582 is a self-levelling smoothing screed with excellent mouldability for laying to falls.  A flexible, self-levelling, mouldable, rapid-set, cementitious, fibre-reinforced surface filler, with 2-in-1 formulation for simultaneous levelling and creation of falls. Excellent workability and mouldability because you also have the flexibility of adding water.

It’s strong, with a compressive strength after 28 days: approx. 35 N/mm² (as levelling coat laid to falls), dries quickly and is pumpable!

With numerous tricky floor levels and coverings, holes, steps and uneven surfaces, and a quick turnaround needed, a complete renovation was in order.  See the video above for the complete overhaul and renovation.

Sopro EPG 1522 Epoxy primer was utilised in this project as an adhesion promoter on smooth (Terrazzo) substrates, as a liquid damp proof membrane in areas where moisture-sensitive floor finishes were going to be installed. The product was also used to fill cracks in the existing substrates and change of substrates. As an extra precaution, Sopro PG-X Armour Mesh was installed before the installation of Sopro VS 582 levelling screed to improve crack-bridging performance and stress relief.
