Setcrete Levelling Compound - Which compound is best for my application?

Please see below useful information to help you when choosing which levelling compound to use.

Setcrete 2K Pro:
SETCRETE 2K PRO is designed for preparing sound internal subfloors prior to the installation of new floorcoverings and can be applied at thicknesses from 2-30mm. It is particularly suitable for direct application over old adhesive residues (such as bitumen and carpet tile tackifiers) without the need for priming. Its fast setting characteristics enable a walk-on time from 90 minutes and new floorcoverings can be installed from 4 hours.

SETCRETE 2K PRO is suitable for use over a wide range of other subfloor types including sand/cement screeds, concrete, granolithic, terrazzo, asphalt, steel, epoxy and polyurethane resins, ceramic and quarry tiles.

Deep Base:
Setcrete Deep Base is a base compound designed for use where floor levels need to be raised quickly and economically in light to heavy-duty applications onto sound absorbent and non-absorbent subfloors.

It is ideal in areas such as conservatories or where two adjacent rooms need to be brought up to the same level, such as in extensions or where an internal wall has been removed.

Rapid Set 30:
Setcrete Rapid Set 30 is a rapid setting, rapid drying floor levelling compound for use in light to heavy duty internal areas prior to the installation of new floorcoverings.

Setcrete Rapid Set 30 utilises the latest advances in cement technology to achieve a walk-on time of as little as 30 minutes and its rapid drying formula means that new floorcoverings can be installed from just 2 hours. As it is a water mix, it also offers the advantages of being economical and latex free.

Latex:
Setcrete Latex is a floor levelling compound for use in light to medium traffic internal areas prior to the installation of new floorcoverings. It is suitable for use over a wide range of absorbent subfloor types including sand/cement screed and concrete. It is also suitable for use over non-absorbent subfloors such as ceramics, granolithic, terrazzo, epoxy and polyurethane resins and quarry tiles, providing they are sound, well adhered and suitably prepared.

Setcrete Latex is self-smoothing and can be applied at thicknesses between 2-10mm.

Universal:
Setcrete Universal is a floor levelling compound for use in general light traffic internal areas prior to the installation of a floorcovering. Setcrete Universal is suitable for use over a wide range of absorbent subfloor types including sand/cement screed and concrete.

It is also suitable for use over non-absorbent subfloors such as ceramics, granolithic, terrazzo and quarry tiles, providing they are sound, well adhered and suitably prepared.

Exterior:
Setcrete Exterior Floor Levelling Compound is a non-structural grade exterior floor levelling compound, which is suitable for use under external coverings.

It is ideally suited for smoothing areas such as balconies, patios, garages and walkways and is unaffected by rain or frost when set and dried. It is also suitable for smoothing subfloors prior to the application of a suitable non-slip coating or external covering such as artificial grass or tiles.

Rapid Set DPM:
Setcrete Rapid Set DPM is a solvent-free, two part epoxy resin damp proof membrane. It suppresses residual construction moisture and rising damp in flooring installations, in just one application.

Setcrete Rapid Set DPM quickly cures to provide a barrier which prevents subfloor moisture from adversely affecting subsequent floorcovering installations. The product is applied in a single coat and has a curing time from just 3 hours, allowing early installation of floorcoverings in fast track building programmes.
