Expert Installation Across Africa
UNDERLAYMENT FLOORING SYSTEMS is a thin layer of material installed between the subfloor and the finished flooring to enhance performance, comfort, and durability. It serves multiple purposes, including moisture protection, sound insulation, thermal insulation, cushioning, and levelling minor subfloor imperfections. The right underlayment depends on the flooring type, subfloor material, and specific needs like noise reduction or moisture resistance. See key benefits for a comprehensive overview of underlayment flooring.
Key benefits:
- Moisture Protection:
Prevents moisture from damaging flooring, especially in basements or over concrete subfloors. A vapor barrier is often included for added protection. - Thermal Insulation:
Adds warmth, especially in colder climates, and supports radiant heating systems. - Levelling:
Smooths minor subfloor imperfections for a stable, even surface, preventing cracks or warping.
- Moisture Protection:
- Over 30 Years of Industry Experience
- Expert Surface Preparation and Application
- Moisture-Resistant and Durable Solutions
- Suitable for All Commercial and Industrial Floors
- Trusted by Leading Brands in South Africa and Africa

A technically advanced epoxy cement self-smoothing composite used as a surface damp proof underlayment. Permeable to water vapour and tolerates up to 99% relative humidity. Low odour installation, non-toxic, and phthalate-free formulation. Optional slip resistant profile can be achieved.
Self-levelling is a single-component high-performance levelling underlayment manufactured from rapid-setting shrinkage-compensated cement and selected aggregates designed with high flow properties when added to water to produce a smooth and durable floor surface prior to the fixing of floor coverings with minimum installation time. Self-levelling is ideal for residential and light commercial installations.
Floor coverings can be fixed after 24 hours, depending on application thickness and ambient conditions, once the moisture content of the floor has been tested and confirmed suitable to receive the intended floor covering.
When adding SCREEDBINDER, it is also suitable for use as a protective barrier over under tile heating elements.
Blended with hard-wearing aggregates, modified cement and additives which produces an abrasion resistant, impact resistant, 10-40mm floor overlay system, Provides a functional, dense concrete finish of industrial strength and durability.
