USG Corporation’s new USG Durock Brand Quik-Cover Self-Leveling Underlayment is designed to provide a quick-drying flooring underlayment for projects with tight schedules or accelerated timelines.
“When schedules are tight, the adage ‘time is money’ has never been truer,” says Brett Fleury, business manager for Performance Flooring at USG. “Flooring contractors are handed projects that are behind schedule on a daily basis. To keep up, flooring contractors need products that help them do their job faster, while still maintaining high quality.”
The calcium aluminate underlayment’s fast, self-drying technology allows for most flooring applications to begin within an hour. (Wood coverings can be applied 12 hours after underlayment application.) The Quik-Cover requires no mechanical prep in most applications, and minimal subfloor preparation. Once applied, the underlayment’s compressive strength exceeds 5,000 psi.
“We know how important it is for flooring contractors to get on and off a jobsite quickly,” Fleury says. “On mission-critical projects, every hour counts. With Quik-Cover, a low prep, prime and pour product, contractors will be able to begin laying floor coverings in as little as one hour after the product is poured.”
