What Is Floor Primer & Why Is It Important?

 

 

A floor primer is a special liquid coating applied to the subfloor before installing new flooring. It is essential for:

 

✅ improving adhesion of self-levelling compound / latex

✅ improving adhesion of floor adhesives

✅ sealing dusty surfaces (concrete / old screed)

✅ reducing bubbles and pinholes in latex

✅ controlling suction on porous floors

✅ creating a stronger bond between layers

✅ preventing cracking and debonding

✅ improving long-term durability of the flooring

 

Skipping primer can cause big problems such as:

❌ levelling compound not bonding

❌ bubbles and weak spots in latex

❌ flooring adhesive failure

❌ vinyl/LVT lifting or coming loose

❌ cracks, movement and poor finish

 

That’s why professional floor priming is always recommended before levelling or installation.

 

 

 

 

Floor Primer Before Self Levelling (Latex / Smoothing Compound)

 

 

Priming is essential before applying any:

 

• latex self levelling compound
• floor smoothing compound
• screed repairs
• feather finish
• floor levelling systems

 

 

 

Why primer is required before latex

 

 

Floor primer:

 

• seals the subfloor
• prevents rapid drying
• prevents cracks
• improves bond strength
• stops air bubbles
• creates smoother levelling finish

 

 

If you are planning self levelling in London, we can prime and level your floors professionally to make them perfectly smooth for LVT or vinyl installation.

 

 

 

 

Floor Priming for Concrete, Screed, Wood & Tiles

 

 

We prime all types of subfloors including:

 

 

✅ Concrete Floor Primer

 

 

Ideal for new or dusty concrete, improving adhesion before latex or flooring adhesives.

 

 

✅ Screed Primer

 

 

Perfect for cement screeds, sand/cement screeds and anhydrite screeds.

 

 

✅ Wooden Floor Primer

 

 

Used before levelling over plywood or timber subfloors (with correct systems).

 

 

✅ Primer Over Tiles

 

 

We use correct bonding primers when levelling over ceramic tiles or stone (where suitable).

 

 

 

 

Moisture Primers & Damp Proof Membrane (DPM)

 

 

If your floor has moisture problems, we can apply:

 

• moisture control primer
• liquid DPM (damp proof membrane)
• epoxy DPM systems
• moisture testing and subfloor assessment

 

 

This is important for:

✅ ground floors

✅ basements

✅ properties with damp

✅ old concrete slabs

✅ commercial floors

 

Moisture control prevents your LVT/vinyl from lifting, bubbling, or failing.

Priming floors is very important before installing:

 

• Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT)
• Karndean flooring
• Amtico flooring
• Moduleo flooring
• herringbone LVT flooring
• sheet vinyl flooring
• safety vinyl flooring
• wet room vinyl flooring
• hospital flooring
