cement-based leveling compound engineered specifically for fast and reliable interior floor preparation before installing tile, natural stone, or other finished flooring. Formulated with a blend of Portland cement, other hydraulic cements, and polymers, this professional-grade flooring underlayment creates a durable, smooth, and flat surface with minimal labor. Its pourable or pumpable consistency seeks its own level, helping eliminate uneven areas and reducing the need for traditional backer boards that must be cut, fitted, glued, and mechanically fastened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on, above, or below grade, ARDEX TL 1000 can be installed over properly prepared interior concrete subfloors, cementitious terrazzo, and existing ceramic, quarry, or porcelain tile. It may also be suitable over concrete treated with certain compatible curing compounds. The smooth, level surface is ideal for ceramic tile, porcelain tile, marble tile, granite tile, mosaic tile, natural stone, large-format tile, and super-format tile installations. It is an excellent floor preparation solution for residential renovations, commercial flooring projects, bathrooms, kitchens, living areas, dining rooms, bedrooms, foyers, hallways, and other interior spaces requiring dependable flatness and long-term durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eARDEX TL 1000 is particularly valuable for demanding tile installation projects where substrate flatness and surface quality are critical. It can help prepare floors for large and super-format tile, heated flooring systems, radiant floor heating applications, tile membrane underlayment, and compatible uncoupling membrane systems. The material can be installed at an average minimum thickness of 1\/4 inch and up to 1 1\/4 inches thick in a single application. It can also be tapered to meet existing elevations, making it suitable for correcting low areas, transitioning between floor heights, and smoothing irregular concrete or existing tile surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe easy-to-use formula mixes with water only, requiring no additives. Use approximately 5 quarts or 4.75 litres of clean water for each 50 lb. or 22.7 kg bag. Once mixed, the material provides approximately 10 minutes of flow time for efficient placement and smoothing. One bag covers approximately 25 square feet at a 1\/4-inch thickness, although actual coverage will vary based on the texture, porosity, and condition of the surface being leveled. The floor can typically be walked on after approximately 4 to 5 hours, and non-moisture-sensitive tile or stone can be installed in as little as 6 hours. Most other compatible floor coverings may be installed after approximately 24 hours, helping support efficient same-day and next-day flooring schedules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for lasting performance, ARDEX TL 1000 develops a compressive strength of approximately 4,000 psi and a flexural strength of approximately 1,000 psi after 28 days. Its VOC content is 0, making it a practical choice for indoor residential and commercial floor preparation. Each 50 lb. bag should be stored unopened in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and has a shelf life of approximately one year when properly stored. For contractors, flooring installers, tile professionals, and experienced DIY users, ARDEX TL 1000 provides a fast, dependable, and labor-saving solution for creating a smooth, flat, tile-ready floor surface backed by the ARDEX L.P.
