Floor Leveling Compounds: A Choice for Experienced Builders and Installers

Floor leveling compounds are an indispensable part of every professional floor installer's toolbox, ensuring a flawless subfloor before the final floor covering installation. Whether it's parquet, vinyl, or carpet, a smooth and strong subfloor is key to a long lasting result. Loba-Wakol Baltic offers high quality Wakol Z-series leveling compounds that meet the most demanding standards and cater to various subfloor types.

Why and When to Use Floor Leveling Compounds?

The primary purpose of floor leveling compounds is to create an even, flat, and load bearing subfloor for uneven concrete, anhydrite, or wood floors. This is a critical step to prevent future floor covering deformations, wear, and unpleasant noises. This is especially important for thin floor coverings, such as vinyl or linoleum, where any subfloor imperfection can immediately become apparent.

  • Correction of unevenness: Fills holes, cracks, and depressions, creating a uniform horizontal surface.
  • Increased surface strength: Provides the subfloor with the necessary strength and resistance to loads.
  • Moisture regulation: Some leveling compounds offer additional protection against moisture, which is particularly important in wet rooms or for moisture sensitive floor coverings.
  • Accelerated work process: Fast drying compounds allow floor covering installation to proceed within just a couple of days.

Before applying the leveling compound, it is important to properly prepare the subfloor. The surface must be clean, dry, grease free, and free of loose particles. Often, the use of a primer is also necessary to ensure better adhesion and prevent air bubbles. Explore our primers selection, such as the universal Wakol PU 280 product, which is suitable for many subfloors.

Wakol Z-series: Selection According to Subfloor and Need

Wakol offers a wide range of high quality floor leveling compounds, designed to meet various requirements and subfloors. In our selection, you will find solutions for concrete, anhydrite, and wood floors.

Fiber Reinforced Leveling Compounds

For wood floors or other deformation prone subfloors, it is recommended to use fiber reinforced leveling compounds. These contain special fibers that provide the compound with greater elasticity and crack resistance. Our product range includes Wakol Z 625, a fiber reinforced leveling compound suitable for layer thicknesses of 1-30 mm. This is an ideal solution for leveling wood floors and other dynamic subfloors before new floor covering installation.

Standard and High Flow Leveling Compounds for Concrete and Anhydrite

For concrete and anhydrite floors, where the risk of cracking is lower, standard or high flow leveling compounds can be used. These offer excellent self leveling properties and fast drying.

  • Wakol Z 630: This is a high flow leveling compound specifically designed for fast and efficient leveling of concrete floors. Its excellent self leveling property ensures a uniform and smooth surface with minimal effort.
  • Wakol Z 645: A fast drying leveling compound, ideally suited for floors with underfloor heating. Its short drying time allows work to proceed quickly, reducing project timelines.
