FAQs
What is the coverage rate of Sika 360 Level Fibre?
Coverage depends on the depth of the application. Refer to the product data sheet for specific coverage rates based on the depth required.
Can I use Sika 360 Level Fibre on wood floors?
Sika 360 Level Fibre is designed for cement and screed surfaces. Not recommended for use directly on wood floors. Always check the subfloor's structural integrity.
What is the pot life of the mixed compound?

Allow the compound to cure for at least 8 hours at normal temperatures before installing the floor covering. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the specific recommended time.

Troubleshooting

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and primed. Check the mixing consistency and ensure the correct water ratio is used. Use a gauge rake or trowel to achieve the desired level.

Ensure the application is within the specified depth range. Control rapid drying by avoiding direct sunlight or drafts. Ensure proper curing time.
