One of the most common problems in renovation and remodeling of existing buildings is the flattening and smoothing of wooden subfloors such as plywood and strip flooring prior to the installations of new floor covering.

Problems with wooden floors.

• Wooden floors move under stress
• expand with temperature and humidity changes
• Joints between boards can be very pronounced
• The surfaces often rough and uneven with deviation up to several inches in 10 feet

Covering these floors with another layer of plywood underlayment or other underlayment board is labor intensive and can result in floor elevation problems at doorways and hallways.

In addition, if the floor is already uneven the addition of such overlays will not produce a surface which will meet the floor covering manufacture's flatness tolerance.

Solution for uneven wooden floors.

The mesh-reinforced Ardex K-15 plus E-25 underlayment system is a successful fast track method which allows the installation of a high quality self leveling underlayment in a thin layer(3/8” minimum)with the strength and flexibility to withstand normal wood movement and traffic stress.
