Laticrete Self-Leveling Underlayments - flat floors, fast schedules
Uneven concrete, old adhesive residue, and substrate imperfections create problems that follow every floor covering installed on top. Laticrete self-leveling underlayments and screeds solve this by creating perfectly flat, smooth surfaces ready for tile, LVT, carpet, or other floor finishes. With formulas that are walkable in 2-3 hours and ready for floor coverings in as little as 12 hours, Laticrete accelerates project timelines without compromising quality. At Lapiz Blue, we supply the complete Laticrete leveling range including fire-rated options and antimicrobial formulations for commercial and residential projects across UAE.

Applications and Best-Fit Scenarios
Commercial fit-outs - fast-track leveling for retail, office, and hospitality floor installations
Renovation projects - correct uneven existing floors without demolition and rebuild
Healthcare and education - fire-rated and antimicrobial options meet facility requirements
Residential apartments - smooth substrates for tile, LVT, wood, and carpet installations
Industrial facilities - durable underlayments for heavy traffic and equipment loads
Multi-family construction - high-volume pumping capability speeds large floor areas
How to Choose the Right Leveling Product
Determine required thickness - standard levelers handle 3-25mm, deep-fill options go to 76mm in single pour
Check schedule requirements - NXT Level allows floor coverings in 16 hours, standard LEVEL in 24 hours
Consider fire rating needs - NXT Level provides UL-certified 2-hour fire resistance for code compliance
Evaluate antimicrobial requirements - NXT Level Plus includes Microban for healthcare and hospitality
Plan application method - small areas can be poured manually, large floors benefit from pump application
Confirm heated floor compatibility - LEVEL MAXI is formulated for underfloor heating systems
Factor in substrate type - different primers may be required for concrete, plywood, or existing tile
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Skipping primer - self-leveling compounds require proper priming for bond and to control substrate porosity
- Incorrect mixing ratio - too much or too little water affects flow, strength, and curing time
- Pouring too thick in single lift - exceeding maximum thickness causes cracking; use deep-fill products or multiple lifts
- Not accounting for temperature - hot UAE conditions accelerate setting; plan pour timing accordingly
- Walking too early - even "rapid" products need proper cure time; verify walkability before foot traffic

Frequently Asked Questions
With NXT Level, floor coverings can be installed in as little as 16 hours. Standard LEVEL products typically require 24 hours. Always verify moisture levels before installing moisture-sensitive coverings.
Standard products like LEVEL handle up to 25mm per lift. NXT Level can be poured up to 76mm (3 inches) in a single application, making it ideal for correcting severely uneven substrates.
Yes. Primer is essential for proper bond and to control substrate porosity. Use Laticrete PRIME-N-BOND or appropriate primer based on substrate type.
Yes. LEVEL MAXI is specifically formulated for heated screed applications. Ensure heating system is properly installed and tested before pouring.
NXT Level is UL-certified for fire resistance up to 2 hours in floor-to-ceiling assemblies. This certification is important for commercial buildings requiring fire-rated floor construction.
Yes, with proper preparation. Clean the tile surface, ensure it is sound and well-bonded, then apply appropriate primer before pouring leveling compound.
Microban antimicrobial technology is built into the product to inhibit growth of stain-causing mold and mildew in the underlayment. This is valuable for healthcare, hospitality, and humid environments.
High temperatures accelerate setting time. Work in smaller sections, keep materials cool before mixing, and consider early morning application. Follow Laticrete guidelines for hot weather installation.
Laticrete Self-Leveling Technology
Laticrete self-leveling underlayments use advanced cement-based formulations that flow and self-level to create perfectly flat surfaces. When properly mixed and poured, the compound spreads to fill low spots and level out imperfections, producing a smooth, hard surface ready for floor coverings. This technology eliminates the labor-intensive process of traditional screeding.
NXT Level - Fire-Rated Performance
NXT Level is a high-strength cement-based self-leveling underlayment with UL certification for fire resistance up to 2 hours in floor-to-ceiling assemblies. Pourable or pumpable from 3mm to 76mm in a single lift, it is walkable in 2-3 hours and ready for floor coverings in just 16 hours. This combination of fire rating and rapid cure makes it ideal for commercial construction.
NXT Level Plus - Antimicrobial Protection
NXT Level Plus incorporates Microban antimicrobial product protection to fight the growth of stain-causing mold and mildew in the underlayment. This is particularly valuable for healthcare facilities, hospitality projects, and any environment where hygiene and cleanliness are priorities. The product maintains all the performance characteristics of standard NXT Level.
LEVEL and LEVEL MAXI
LEVEL is a cement-based, easy-to-use self-leveling underlayment for creating flat, smooth surfaces over various substrates including concrete and existing tile. LEVEL MAXI offers enhanced formulation for thicknesses up to 30mm and is compatible with heated screed systems, making it suitable for underfloor heating installations.
SUPERCAP High-Volume System
For large commercial floor projects, the SUPERCAP system combines patented pump truck technology with innovative products to deliver perfectly flat, dry floors at high volume. This system corrects uneven concrete, reduces moisture vapor emissions, and shortens build times - ideal for warehouse, retail, and industrial floor preparation.
Substrate Preparation
Successful self-leveling depends on proper substrate preparation. All surfaces must be clean, sound, and properly primed. Laticrete offers primers for different substrate types including concrete, plywood, and existing tile. Taking time for proper preparation ensures the leveling compound bonds correctly and performs as specified.
Product Range Overview
The Laticrete self-leveling range includes: LEVEL standard underlayment, LEVEL MAXI for heated screeds, NXT Level fire-rated formula, NXT Level Plus with antimicrobial protection, NXT Level SP decorative wear surface, and SUPERCAP high-volume system for commercial applications.
