Everbuild 710 Febflor Flexiplus Latex Self-Levelling Compound – Added Latex Powder – Cement-Based – Internal Use – Fast Setting – Grey – 20kg Bag

Before we could lay new click flooring, we had to investigate what was under some old, disgusting carpet. We found loose and missing tiles with old tar, broken quarry tile, broken slate and some wood in places. After removing and cutting back the debris, we were left with some deep and shallow bits. Doing a lot of research, we settled on this filler. Prepped the areas with pva and mixed in fine sand for the deeper areas. After 2 days to cure… just being safe… I poured and levelled the final coat. Couldn’t be happier! We’ll lay the floor in a couple days and JOB DONE!

Levelled the floor reasonably well, but didn't go as far as the pack claims. On some surfaces the water gets absorbed very quickly, which prevents it spreading and levelling properly, so I'd recommend using a primer for concrete or wood.

Does the good job.

Purchased to level a very uneven floor. Had to lay it in 3 layers as the floor was that bad and I was installing electric under floor heating. Worked perfectly

This is the first time I used a self-levelling system but in my defence, I have done a number of concrete floors (and wall plastering) before and I got those floors perfect. I am my worst critic therefore I do a LOT of research, speak to people and youtubing before I try anything the first time. I bought a Vitrex SPR500 Spike Roller, a hand-help paddle mixer, a large enough mixing drum (a plastic bin), and spike shoes for the job.This system is NOT as self levelling as they make out. I read the instructions many times and watched many videos to make sure I do not make mistakes because I knew it will be a mess if I get it wrong. I worked quick and levelled it with the roller as best I could as quickly as posable but it was not enough. There were a number of bumps and humps in the floor but it was the hump in the middle of the bedroom floor, which was the main problem I tried to get rid of, that was the main reason I tried the self levelling product.My issues with this product are:- When I poured it out after mixing it (one half to one side and the other half to the other side of the room), it did not self spread as much or quick as I expected.- I used the roller to spread it quickly as level as I could but kept noticing the sides (edges) against the wall, did not level back to the middle. I also noticed some places in the middle of the floor where the two pours met, some bits looked a bit higher that others. I thought I levelled it out and hoped it would . . . . self level where I did not.- It did not self level. I am now stuck with different bumps and humps. This product and I expect other similar products do the same, set way to quickly. They do not have enough time to level out. Why do they make them set so fast, it is not necessary !!!I may use a self levelling product again but will NOT rely on it self levelling over an uneven large area again. I will use it the same as I would a cement screed. I will use support sides (guides) and a long plank.Now I'm off to fix this blooming mess. :-(Update 1: <========================(Note, this was done on those green wood floorboards. )1) I removed only the higher bits to save having to lift the lot. It was a slow dusty business because more than half of the floor had to come up, just to be sure I do not have any proud bits when I try again.2) I found in some parts a heavy-duty chisel (+/- 7 cm blade) with a hand protector did the job (it popped up easy enough) however not in all places. Where it just did not want to come away no matter what I tried, I found this tool worked a treat. I used a Harris Vanquish stripping knife with a wide blade, those with wood either side of the steel. Just a word of warning. The Harris is a fantastic bit of kit but it is not made to be used as a chisel, which I used it for. The wood handle lasted surprisingly long before only the top bit of it broke off. I am so impressed by the still nearly new (!!!) state of the blade and that it did not bend at all after being abused like this, that I went out and bought myself another two in different sizes (hopefully not to be used as chisels).3) As for the flexibility of this product . . . . hmmmm. Large-is bits of the Self Levelling did pop off and I out of curiosity I "tested" a number of them to see just how "flexible" this product is. The result ---> Not. <--- From what I could make out there was no flex/bend at all, I could not see any bend at all, it snapped the same as a normal bit of cement would.4) My advice, unless you are an expert in this kind of thing, do one bag (maybe two tops) at a time, no more. It may help. OK you may have to build it up in layers but this way you have the opportunity to spot and correct where/if the product does not level out to your standards. (I like perfect.) Even if it goes wrong, it will be a lot smaller job to correct than having to undo a large surface.5) Sit back and enjoy the show boys and girls, I'm about to find out if I learnt anything. :-OUpdate 2. <=========================Update 2.It took me around three days of backbreaking work to remove my first attempt at this self-levelling product. I gave this product another go but this time in addition to the normal preparations, I made the following changes to give more time for the self-levelling part.1) I used cold (not freezing) water to try to slow down the chemical reaction.2) I mixed only one bag.3) I worked very fast in fact, I mixed it so quickly that I still had a couple of small lumps in it but decided I will fix the lumps afterwards only if a problem. I’d say I mixed it for less than 2 minutes.I immediately poured it out spread out as much as I was able to and immediately started to spread (level) it out by hand. I’d say within a minute, I noticed the self-levelling cement was setting at the “thin” side of the floor !?! This is ridiculous! Even after all these steps the self-levelling did not self-level as promised. There is NO WAY the product I received is as advertised, it sets way too quickly. This product is rubbish!!!A thought. I noticed “FEB” on the top right of each bag, I ordered and used it the last half of September 2018.

Product works as expected. However beware of different mixing ratios on some bags if ordering more than one. Some are 4 litres while some are 5. Think this is to do with old stock.

Did job very well but had to throw half away as size of bag was greater than I wanted. But it went down well and was level. but have to mix well.

The bags we received was out of date the mix did not find it's level. need to add more water than specified to get the right consistency.
