- Existing ceramic tile
- VCT or fully glued, noncushioned sheet goods, when bonded to a substrate approved for tile
DSP 510 SELF-LEVELING UNDERLAYMENT
DSP 510 Standard Self-Leveling Underlayment is a cement based, free-flowing product for interior dry area substrates. Suited for large surfaces, DSP 510 seeks its own level to provide a smooth finished surface for the installation of carpet, ceramic or natural stone tile, resilient flooring, laminate flooring, wood and other floor coverings. It can be used for the following substrates:
- Concrete
- Ceramic tile
- Pavers, brick
- Cement terrazzo
- Cement backer board
- Cutback adhesive residue
DSP 520 PREMIUM SELF-LEVELING UNDERLAYMENT
DSP 520 Premium Self-Leveling Underlayment is a fast curing, free flowing, cement based underlayment designed for interior dry area substrates. Suited for large surfaces, DSP 520 can be installed by pouring or pumping and can be used with any of the following substrates:
- Concrete, pavers, bricks
- Ceramic tile, cement terrazzo
- Cement backer boards
- Cutback adhesive residue
- Metal
- Epoxy terazzo
- VCT or fully-glued, noncushioned sheet goods
- Exterior grade plywood with reinforcement mesh
- Oriented Strand Board (OSB) with reinforcement mesh
DSP™ 530 ULTRA WEAR SURFACE/UNDERLAYMENT
DSP 530 Ultra Wear Surface/Underlayment is a cement based product that can be used as a strong interior wear surface or as a high-performing self-leveling underlayment (SLU). Used as an interior wear surface, the smooth finish is ready to accept topical colorants/coatings to complement any design requirements. As an interior self-leveler, the surface is ideal for the installation of all types of floor coverings, including carpet, ceramic or natural stone tile, resilient flooring, laminate flooring and wood flooring. Suitable substrates include:
- Concrete, Cement terrazzo
- Ceramic, porcelain or quarry tile
- Pavers
- Cement backer board
- Epoxy terrazzo
- Vinyl composition tile (VCT) or full glue-down, non-cushioned vinyl sheet goods
- Exterior grade plywood with reinforcement mesh
- Existing wood flooring with reinforcement mesh
DSP™ 540 EXTREME FIBER REINFORCED UNDERLAYMENT
DSP 540 Extreme Fiber Reinforced Underlayment is a high performance self-leveling underlayment. Highly crack resistant with low shrinkage, it provides a smooth finish ideal for all types of floor covering, including carpet, ceramic or natural stone tile, resilient, laminate flooring and wood flooring. Suitable substrates include:
- Concrete, cement terrazzo
- Ceramic, porcelain or quarry tile
- Pavers
- Cement backer board
- Epoxy terrazzo
- Vinyl composition tile (VCT) or full glue-down, non-cushioned vinyl sheet goods
- Exterior grade plywood with reinforcement mesh
- Existing wood flooring with reinforcement mesh
- Can be used with radiant heating systems
