Avjämningsmassa

Avjämningsmassa is a construction material used to create a smooth and level surface on floors before the final floor covering is installed. It is a type of self-leveling compound that is mixed with water to form a flowable paste. This paste is then poured onto the subfloor and spreads out, filling in low spots and creating a uniform plane.

The primary purpose of avjämningsmassa is to compensate for irregularities in the subfloor, such as dips, bumps, or unevenness. This is crucial for ensuring that the subsequent flooring material, whether it be tile, laminate, vinyl, or carpet, can be laid properly and will perform as intended. A level subfloor prevents issues like squeaking floorboards, cracked tiles, or premature wear of the final covering.

Avjämningsmassa is typically applied over concrete, plywood, or old, well-adhered flooring. It is important to prepare the subfloor adequately before application, which usually involves cleaning it thoroughly and priming it to ensure proper adhesion of the leveling compound. The thickness of the application can vary, depending on the severity of the subfloor's imperfections and the product's specifications. Once cured, avjämningsmassa provides a strong, durable, and smooth base for most types of flooring.
