Wickes is now stocking an extended range of Setcrete easy-to-use floor preparation products at its branches nationwide, as demand for the range continues to grow.

Setcrete Rapid Set 30, Deep Base, High Performance, Latex, and Universal floor levelling compounds can now all be purchased from Wickes branches across the UK, along with Setcrete’s acrylic primer and flexible wood flooring adhesive.

Setcrete have used the most advanced technology from the flooring industry to provide professional builders with easy-to-use, fast-track, high performance flooring products. By using specialist Setcrete products, builders can easily prepare subfloors in the fastest time possible, leaving a perfect, lasting finish every time.

Setcrete Deep Base levelling compound is one of the most popular flooring products among professional builders today. It is perfect for rapidly building up floor levels and creating a smooth, even surface for the application of floorcoverings or capping with another levelling compound. It is ideal for levelling floors in adjoining rooms, for example, where an extension has been added or an internal wall has been removed.

Applicable in thicknesses of up to 50mm in a single application, this easy-to-use levelling compound can be ready to receive new floorcoverings in as little as six hours. The use of Setcrete Deep Base, therefore, has the potential to save professional builders a huge amount of time, as typical sand/cement screeds can take as much as one day per millimetre thickness to dry.

Setcrete Rapid Set 30 Floor Levelling Compound can be used to rapidly create a perfectly smooth, durable surface before the installation of new floorcoverings. Applicable in thicknesses of 2 – 10mm in a single application, Rapid Set 30 is walk-on hard in just 30 minutes, and can be ready to receive new floorcoverings from only 45 minutes.

Setcrete High Performance is a fibre-reinforced, flexible, fast-drying floor levelling compound, designed for use over plywood, concrete and sand/cement screed subfloors. The product is designed to level uneven subfloors quickly and easily, allowing for the installation of new floorcoverings in as little as four hours and can also be used as a standalone wearing surface where a floorcovering is not required.
