ARDEX K 15® is a Portland cement-based, self-leveling underlayment formulated with a special blend of polymers used to level and smooth interior concrete, terrazzo, ceramic and quarry tile, epoxy coating systems, metal, wooden substrates and non-water soluble adhesive residue on concrete prior to the installation of finished flooring – on, above or below grade. It can also be installed over concrete treated with certain curing compounds (see below). Designed specifically for the fast leveling of floors, ARDEX K 15 provides a durable, flat, smooth floor surface with minimum labor and installation time. It is pourable or pumpable when mixed with water and seeks its own level to produce a smooth, flat, hard surface. ARDEX K 15 is also recommended and specified by many quality flooring manufacturers, architects and contractors.
