Choosing the Right Flooring Latex: Tips for Homeowners

Latex floor screed is a self-leveling compound made up of powder and liquid latex in accurate proportions to deliver remarkable results. It dries quickly, meaning you can continue your project promptly and remain on budget. The protein-free composition of latex screed means it does not harbor bacteria, making it an excellent choice for locations that require high hygiene standards such as hospitals, nursing homes and food handling environments.

It is important to remove any existing tile or carpeting before starting to use a liquid latex screed. You will then need to clean the floor thoroughly. Once the floor is dry you can start to prepare it for the application of the new flooring solution. It is essential to check that your floor is level using a spirit level before applying the compound. If your floor has any dips or rises it is possible to level them out using a self-levelling compound but this needs to be done correctly and carefully to avoid problems with the final flooring solution.
