FAQ
The Sika® Level-125 CA can be installed over engineer-approved wooden (plywood) subfloors. When installing the underlayment over the wooden subfloors, ensure that the subfloor consists of at least two layers of exterior grade plywood (CANPLY compliant), a minimum of 32mm (1 ¼ in) in thickness and meets, as a minimum, the deflection parameters of L/360. The wood/plywood must be suitably secured, bonded and prepared to a contaminant free and sound condition.
*Do not apply Sika® Level-125 CA onto chipboard, particleboard, hardboard, or any dimensionally unstable substrates.
Ceramic tiles and natural stone may be installed after 24 hours. Carpet, vinyl sheeting, PVC, rubber, and engineered wood plank can be installed after 1-3 days depending upon thickness of underlayment and drying conditions.
All concrete and cement substrates must be primed using Sika® Level-01 PrimerCA, or where concrete/cement and wood substrates exist, Sika® Level-03 PrimerCA may be used.
Sika® Level-125 CA is for interior use only.

As with all cement-based materials, avoid contact with aluminum to prevent adverse chemical reactions and possible product failure. Insulate potential areas of contact by coating aluminum bars, rail, post with an appropriate epoxy such as Sikadur Hi-Mod 32.
