FAQs
What is the mixing ratio for Floor Flex Plus Latex?
One 5-litre container of Floor Flex Plus Latex is typically mixed with a 20-kilo bag of self-leveling floor compound or adhesive. Always refer to the product instructions for specific details.
Can I use Floor Flex Plus Latex with any type of tile adhesive?
Floor Flex Plus Latex is compatible with most powder tile adhesives. However, it's always best to check the adhesive manufacturer's specifications to ensure compatibility.
How long does it take for the mixture to dry?
Drying times vary depending on the compound or adhesive used, as well as environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended drying times.
Is Floor Flex Plus Latex suitable for use with underfloor heating?
While the product enhances flexibility, consult with the flooring manufacturer and underfloor heating system guidelines to ensure compatibility with your specific setup.
How should I store the remaining Floor Flex Plus Latex?
Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation.
What should I do if the mixture dries too quickly?
If the mixture appears to be drying too quickly, ensure you're working in a well-ventilated area, and avoid direct sunlight. The application temperature might be too high; adjust if possible. Ensure proper mixing and application techniques.
Is this product waterproof?
While the product enhances the flooring's overall durability, it is not a waterproofing agent on its own. It's designed to improve the flexibility and strength of the mixture it is combined with.
Troubleshooting
Mixture is too thick or difficult to spread.
Ensure you are using the correct mixing ratio of Floor Flex Plus Latex with the compound or adhesive. If the mixture is too thick, it may indicate that too much powder or not enough liquid was used. Recheck the manufacturer’s instructions and correct as needed.
Flooring is cracking after drying.
This could be due to insufficient flexibility. Ensure you have used the correct amount of Floor Flex Plus Latex and that the subfloor is properly prepared. Consider the environmental conditions; excessive heat or cold can cause issues.
