Mapeguard UM

Underlayment Membrane for Ceramic Tile and Stone Mapeguard UM is a premium-performance, lightweight, waterproofing and vapor-pressure-equalizing underlayment membrane that provides crack suppression for use under ceramic tile and stone installations, for both residential and commercial applications. It is designed to perform over challenging substrates, such as young concrete and single-layer 3/4" (19 mm) plywood subfloors with joist spacing of up to 19.2" (49 cm) on center or up to 24" (61 cm) on center with double-layer plywood subfloors. The unique engineered tri-layered design of Mapeguard UM absorbs lateral stress from the substrate without transferring this force to the tile or stone, which maintains exceptional bonds.

Ultraplan Extreme 2

Weather-Resistant, High-Compressive-Strength, Self-Leveling Underlayment Ultraplan Extreme 2 is an advanced, hydraulic-cement-based, self-leveling compound designed for fast-track underlayment applications. It is especially formulated for leveling interior, horizontal concrete surfaces where environmental controls are not operational or the building is not enclosed. Once installed, Ultraplan Extreme 2 is not affected by exposure to intermittent rain exposure after 6 hours or to freezing temperatures after 3 days of curing. Its high compressive strength is designed to allow it to be exposed to traffic as a temporary wear layer until the floor is covered with floor covering. Ultraplan Extreme 2 has no moisture vapor emission limitations and can be installed without testing on properly prepared concrete substrates. It is the self-leveling compound of choice for use under moisture-controlling adhesive systems and epoxy moisture barriers.

Ultraplan LSC

High-Flow, Fast-Setting, Self-Leveling, Liquid Skimcoat Ultraplan LSC is a super fluid, high-flow, calcium-aluminate-cement-based underlayment designed for thin-coat applications over large surfaces. Unique flow properties allow Ultraplan LSC to spread easily and quickly, potentially eliminating the need for hand-applied skimcoats. This product cures to a hard and flat surface that typically requires no further touchup or repair, accelerating floor-covering installation and reducing the need for additional patching or skimcoating materials.

Ultraplan Lite

Lightweight, Self-Leveling Underlayment Ultraplan Lite is a polymer-modified, calcium-aluminate-based, lightweight, self-drying, self-leveling underlayment. It has been specifically designed for use for leveling substrates that are not rated to carry the full weight of a traditional self-leveling underlayment. Ultraplan Lite mixes easily and flows out to a suitable finish with a final dry density of about 67 lbs. per cu. ft. (1 073 kg per m³) at 28 days.

Self-Leveler Plus

Self-Leveling Underlayment Self-Leveler Plus is a high-strength, regular-setting, cement-based, self-leveling underlayment, for use over interior concrete, plywood and other approved floor surfaces. Self-Leveler Plus is convenient and easy to use. Once cured, it provides a smooth, level surface on which to install a variety of floor coverings. AVAILABLE AT SELECT RETAIL LOCATIONS ONLY

Planitex SLF

Planiseal MSP

Moisture-Control Membrane, Adhesive Isolator, Sealer, pH Blocker and Primer Planiseal MSP is a two-coat, high-solids, polymer-based adhesive isolator, sealer, moisture-control membrane and self-leveling primer. Planiseal MSP protects flooring installations against subfloor moisture and pH in concrete slabs with moisture vapor emission rates (MVERs) up to 15 lbs. (6.80 kg) per ASTM F1869, relative humidity (RH) up to 99% per ASTM F2170 and alkalinity protection up to pH of 12. Planiseal MSP eliminates the need for a secondary primer for self-leveling applications.

Planiseal PMB

One-Component, Polyurethane Moisture Barrier and Bonding Agent Planiseal PMB is a one-component, moisture-curing, polyurethane compound designed to provide moisture vapor emission protection on damp concrete substrates in a single- or double-coat application method as well as a vapor retarder using a single-coat method over wood substrates. It also serves as a bonding agent and moisture barrier system for self-leveling underlayments when applied in a double-coat method with dry sand.
