LVT over a cemfloor screed

Featured Replies

Im planning on DIYing an LVT install, about 25sqm. It will be on a 6 month old cemfloor screed with wet UF. 

Am I right in thinking that after a good clean I can use use a smoothing compound direct without any other prep work. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

 

 

You will need to prime the floor first 

We normally use tile master primer 

But most of the self leveling compounds have there own primer

OK thanks, how long before would you normally prime before smoothing?
