Self LevelerTechnologically superior self leveling underlayments are now available. Flooring Installation Systems levelers, featuring low-prep technology, add strength, durability and an even surface for the application of floor coverings. Simply sweep, prime and pour. They seek their own level in minutes and set quickly, adding extra support and high compressive strength to residential and commercial installations.

PrimerFlooring Installation Systems primers ensure a strong bond over both porous and non-porous surfaces. Applying an appropriate primer improves the bond of the leveling system, creating a more uniform and durable installation. Flooring Installation Systems presents three different primer options to meet the needs of most any project.

Moisture ControlUncontrolled moisture can cause damage to floor coverings such as blistering and discoloration. It can also weaken bonds to flooring adhesives or cause cracks and crumbling. Protect the integrity of the installation by controlling the rate of moisture vapor transmission with Flooring Installation Systems moisture control solution. Moisture transmission rates are reduced to less than three pounds, and the subfloor can be primer-ready in as few as five hours.

PatchFlooring Installation Systems patching products offer durable floor covering support. Patch over concrete, plywood, existing tile and other surfaces for even, quick-setting results from feather edge to 2". These patching products help to eliminate bond failure, crumbling and mildew in the substrate, which will increase the durability and longevity of the installation.

WarrantyFlooring Installation Systems products are backed by a 15-year warranty. See back cover for details.
