Any experienced flooring installer will tell you: a job is only as good as the surface it’s laid on. You could have the most premium flooring in the world, but if the subfloor is uneven, damp, or poorly prepped, you’re inviting trouble. That’s why the preparation stage is critical — and why more and more professionals and serious DIYers are turning to Ultra-Floor products to get it right from the start.
At Floor Land, we’ve worked with dozens of brands over the years. But Ultra-Floor stands out — especially their Level It Two levelling compound, Prime IT MSP primer, and the DPM IT damp proof membrane system. These products consistently deliver solid results, reduce risk of failure, and make the whole installation process smoother.
Let’s break down what makes each product so effective — and why they’re worth recommending on every flooring project.
Ultra-Floor Level It Two: Smooths Like a Dream
Level It Two is a self-levelling compound that comes in a two-part kit — a bag of powder and a bottle of liquid. Once mixed, it creates a highly workable smoothing compound that’s ideal for prepping interior floors before laying your final finish.
What sets it apart is its flow and finish. It spreads easily with a trowel, fills out dips and hollows, and sets to a perfectly flat surface that’s ready for tiles, vinyl, carpet, or wood. You can apply it from 2mm up to 12mm, which makes it incredibly versatile.
Another benefit? It dries fast. In most cases, it’s walkable in under three hours and ready for final flooring the same day — no long waits, no delays on site.
If you’re fitting over underfloor heating, it’s also compatible, and because it’s low odour and protein-free, it’s safe for sensitive environments too.
Prime IT MSP: A Must-Have Prep Step
Before you even think about pouring a leveller, you need a primer — and Prime IT MSP is the one to use. It’s a multi-surface primer designed to improve adhesion and control the absorbency of the subfloor. Whether you’re working over concrete, screed, or old adhesive residues, this product helps your levelling compound do its job properly.
It’s quick and easy to apply — dilute it for porous surfaces or use it neat for dense, non-absorbent ones. Once dry, it forms a pink film so you know exactly where you’ve covered. That might sound like a small detail, but when you’re working on a tight schedule, it saves mistakes and makes the job more efficient.
Skipping primer is never worth it. Without it, you risk pinholes, poor bonding, and inconsistent drying. Prime IT MSP helps prevent all of that, giving you a solid foundation every time.
DPM IT: Stop Moisture in Its Tracks
One of the biggest causes of flooring failure is hidden moisture in the subfloor. If you’re laying on a new concrete base or in an older property where damp is a concern, applying a surface DPM is non-negotiable.
DPM IT is Ultra-Floor’s two-part epoxy damp proof membrane. It comes in 5kg and 10kg tubs, making it suitable for jobs of all sizes — from small bathrooms to large open-plan spaces.
Once mixed, it applies like a thick paint and creates a moisture-resistant barrier that protects your flooring from rising damp and residual construction moisture. It cures quickly, too — most floors can be primed and levelled the next day, keeping your schedule on track.
It’s suitable for concrete with up to 98% relative humidity, which means you can get on with the job without waiting weeks for the floor to dry out naturally. That’s a massive time saver, especially on commercial projects.
The Power of the System
Each of these products is excellent on its own — but when you use them together, you get a complete, professional-grade system for subfloor preparation.
Here’s how a typical job might look:
- Assess the subfloor – Check for moisture levels, surface defects, and structural soundness.
- Apply DPM IT if needed – Especially on new concrete or older floors without a built-in membrane.
- Prime the surface – Use Prime IT MSP to seal and prep the floor for levelling.
- Mix and apply Level It Two – Smooth it out, let it cure, and you’ve got the perfect base for any floor finish.
The result? A smooth, dry, stable surface that’s ready for tiles, wood, LVT, or carpet — and a finished floor that lasts.
Real-World Benefits
If you’re a flooring installer, these products make your life easier. They cut down on callbacks, reduce risk, and help you maintain your reputation. You can complete jobs faster, with fewer headaches, and move on to the next one knowing the subfloor won’t let you down.
If you’re a homeowner taking on a renovation, investing in proper subfloor prep might not be the most glamorous part of the project — but it’s one of the most important. Using Ultra-Floor products gives you peace of mind that your new floor won’t lift, crack, or warp down the line.
And for retailers or trade suppliers, offering these as a bundled system — bag, bottle, primer, and DPM — helps customers get everything they need in one go. It reduces confusion and ensures better results across the board.
Final Thoughts
There are plenty of levelling compounds, primers, and DPMs out there. But few have the track record, performance, and ease of use that Ultra-Floor brings to the table. Whether you’re a trade professional or a homeowner doing things properly, this system delivers.
At Floor Land, we don’t just sell floors — we sell confidence. And when it comes to getting your subfloor right, Ultra-Floor Level It Two, Prime IT MSP, and DPM IT are tools you can count on.
Ready to prep like a pro? Make sure your next project starts with the right foundation — because the best floors always begin below the surface.
