Davco launches Lanko Superior floor levelling range
In a major advance, building products market leader, Davco Construction Materials, have launched the LANKO Floor Levelling
range, a superior group of products for repairing, filling or levelling floors in construction projects.
Leading the charge is LANKO 133 Pro Level, a cement based, internal/external self levelling, high strength underlayment designed for levelling
floors prior to installation of carpet, tiles or other floor covering systems.
According to Peter Hollins, Davco's sales manager – technical mortars, Lanko is an International brand with a market leading position in
Western Europe.
"We have been able to draw on the extensive overseas experience of our parent company as well as our own local expertise as Australia's largest
in the field of cement and polymer blending.
"LANKO 133 Pro Level has been produced at our Australian plant and is designed for local conditions. Extensive pre-launch on the job testing
has been carried out in conjunction with major floor levelling contractors. They were delighted with the speed of application and the finish
they could achieve with LANKO 133 Pro Level.
"The result is a superior floor leveller that will bring many benefits to applicators in the floor levelling market" said Peter Hollins.
"Significantly LANKO 133 Pro Level can be used externally for areas such as deck areas and footpaths, as well as internally, and is suitable
for wet areas. It is also compatible with commonly used adhesives. It has low water demand (approximately 20%) allowing for more rapid drying.
This means floor coverings can normally be laid within 16-18 hours of installation" Hollins added.
LANKO 133 Pro Level can be featheredged but due to its excellent flow and reflow properties there is a lower requirement for this the next
day. It also eliminates or minimises trowelling and there are no signs of shrinkage even when thick sections are poured next to thin sections.
It can be applied in multiple layers – each up to 25mm thick.
"The ease with which the product can be applied is also demonstrated by its lower laitance level. In other words, it needs less sanding after
application and less dust is created, making it a highly efficient and time saving floor leveller.
"Floor coverings can now be installed quicker than before due to higher early strengths (10MPa after 1 day) and higher long term strengths
(39MPa after 28 days).
"In these circumstances the floor is able to take traffic earlier and with the higher long term strengths LANKO 133 Pro Level can be installed
in more demanding environments."
LANKO 133 Pro Level is available in 20kg bags. This is complemented by LANKO 134 Pro Level Rapid for speedy installations, Lanko 135 Feather
Edge, a feathering mortar, and a range of primers and additives.
The LANKO range will be available through Davco offices and agents throughout Australia as well as South East Asia.
The results of extensive tests of the new product range including set times, and compressive, flexural and tensile strengths, are available
