SMOOTHING
COMPOUNDS
To smooth the way for the installation of LVTs, a high-performance smoothing
compound with the appropriate properties for the job at hand/environment
should be applied.
Subfloors can also be uneven, so a smoothing compound will help to fill any
indentations or imperfections and provides an ultra-smooth foundation for
the subsequent floorcovering installation.

F. Ball’s Stopgap 300 is a heavy duty,
rapid-hardening water mix compound
designed for use on both absorbent and
non-absorbent interior subfloors in areas
that are subjected to heavy-duty traffic. It
offers excellent self-smoothing properties.
Preformed subfloors, such as plywood
or steel, can move slightly when subject
to normal foot traffic, potentially leading
to cracks in the smoothing compound. This
calls for a flexible smoothing compound
such as F. Ball’s Stopgap 700, a fibremodified compound which renders small
movements in flexible subfloors harmless.
Our high-performance Stopgap 1200
is also part of the System LVT range.
This fast-setting, fast-drying smoothing
compound is particularly suitable for
use over old adhesive residues including
bitumen and carpet tile tackifiers without
the need for priming and removes the need
for mechanical preparation of the subfloor.
