F Ball Stopgap 1600 Fibre Reinforced Smoothing Compound

One such product that we offer is the F Ball Stopgap 1600 Fibre Reinforced Smoothing Compound. This compound is specifically tailored for new or existing interior floor refurbishments in domestic as well as commercial environments, an essential step before installing new floor coverings.

Suitable for both electrically wired and water-fed underfloor heating and cooling systems, the Stopgap 1600 ensures a smooth, even surface on a range of absorbent and non-absorbent subfloor types, including sand-cement screed, concrete, tile backer boards, plywood, granolithic, and terrazzo among others. This product, delivered as a pre-blended dry powder, is not only dimensionally stable but also fast-drying. Remarkably, it's ready to receive floor coverings as quickly as 12 hours post-application, at a 35mm thickness.

Its protein-free formulation makes it ideal for use in biologically sensitive areas. Delivered in 20KG bags, the compound offers a convenient water-mix solution. It boasts a working time of approximately 15-20 minutes, with walk-on hardness achievable in roughly three hours.

Floor coverings can be laid between 12 to 72 hours post-application, based on the thickness used. Furthermore, at an application thickness between 3-40mm, you can expect approximate coverage of 1.8kg/m. The F Ball Stopgap 1600 is also compatible with underfloor heating systems, demonstrating its versatile application.
