Professional Advice
Stopgap 700 Superflex is our preferred smoothing compound when preparing plywood and timber subfloors prior to installing engineered wood flooring, LVT and other resilient floor coverings. Its flexible fibre reinforced formulation helps accommodate slight movement within timber-based subfloors.
