Key benefits include a lightweight, easy-to-handle formulation, fast-drying performance, lump-free mixing, and a smooth finish suitable for tile substrates on both interior and exterior surfaces.

It can be applied to concrete, gypsum, cement-based surfaces, and other sound substrates. Always ensure the surface is clean, sound, and free of contaminants before application.

The product is packaged as four 5 kg aluminium boxes, totaling 20 kg per pack. This packaging aids in handling and storage.

Add Ultratop Loft powder to clean water and mix to a lump-free, smooth paste. Use a drill with a paddle mixer for larger batches and avoid introducing air into the mixture. Follow the product’s datasheet for precise mixing guidance.

Ultratop Loft dries quickly, with set and readiness for tiling depending on ambient temperature, humidity, and substrate. Allow adequate time for initial set and cure before tiling, as indicated in the datasheet.

Prepare the substrate by cleaning it, removing dust, oil, and loose material, and repairing any major surface irregularities. For highly porous or problematic substrates, priming or sealing products may be recommended to ensure optimal adhesion.

Ultratop Loft can be applied with a trowel or notched trowel, and it can also be applied with plastering tools or mechanical plastering equipment for larger areas.

Yes, Ultratop Loft is suitable for interior and exterior applications, provided the substrate is sound and properly prepared and environmental conditions are suitable for curing.

Wear appropriate PPE, including gloves and eye protection. Work in a well-ventilated area and avoid prolonged skin contact. Wash exposed skin with soap and water after handling, and dispose of waste according to local regulations.

Ultratop Loft is designed to be lightweight, easy to mix, and quick-drying, offering a straightforward smoothing solution for tile-ready bases. On Fepy, alternatives such as Ardex Pandomix smoothing compound and Bostik Ultraplan 1 Plus provide comparable leveling capabilities with different set times and substrate compatibilities.
