Levellers always seem to be a subject of much debate, so why not let us know your thoughts?

What would be you perfect leveller(s)? What properties / benefits would you want from a leveller? Should 1 leveller have all of these uses / benefits or would you want a couple of specific products?

...If you want to tell us what you currently use and why feel free ...likewise any pro's / con's of the BAL products?

What substrates / applications? What depths? What price? ....

Its 'blue sky' time!!!

Just start producing the levelling compound we tested on that 2 day piss up. You know the one I mean

Alex,

My leveller of choice is your very own Ultrabase (poured 12 bags of it yesterday) and it covers my needs in most situations but not all. I know that there is a demand for a 'direct to wood' compound' but my specifications rarely call for it. Maybe that's because recommending UFH cables (even at a low wattage) direct over wood is not something that sits comfortably with me. I do however fix Karndean sometimes and when thats going direct over a wooden substrate that needs smoothing over, I turn to your friends at Mapei and get their Latexplan two-part.

Ultrabase doesn't cover me for depths above 10mm and that does cause an issue. My alternative here is Ultras Level IT One which goes up to 50mm - I will try and not to sing it's praises too much on a BAL forum . Again if a two-part is required, Ultra Level IT Two is my choice.

As for a 'one size fits all' bag of compound - while I would have confidence in the BAL brand, I'm always suspect when manufacturers produce products that do 'everything' - kinda 'jack of all trades' territory. No, for my main needs please give me a compound that will go to greater depths for now - sure others will require something else.

Andrew

im with you andrew,ultrabase i use mainly all of the time butwhen needing to go to larger depths i use ultra 1,tried mira x plan once wasnt impressed ,i think there needs to be more leveller on the market that goes from feather finish to lager depths and still keep its compressible strength.

100% agree.
Why is this not being made now? It was perfect. I know there was some negative feedback but that was without foundation.

The best I have used apart from the test sample is Levelflex.

best on the market imo is screedmaster 2
or screedmaster woodsmooth straight onto wood up to 13mm

Never seen Screedmaster before but judging by the data sheets I suspect it could be Levelflex made by Tilemaster Adhesives in Chorley and repackaged???
I've never had good times with Bostik - i reckon they should stick to Airfix glue!
How much do you pay for Screedmaster Andy? I get Levelflex for £14.

Normally I woulnt go nr bostik either but try a bag I like it
