Luvanto Jumpax Basic Floor Leveller for Creating a Smooth Subfloor - Covers 2.88m2
Luvanto Jumpax Basic Floor Leveller for Creating a Smooth Subfloor - Covers 2.88m2 provides a quick and practical alternative to traditional levelling screed. Instead of waiting for a wet screed to dry, Jumpax Basic creates a smooth and stable subfloor using a two-layer MDF board system with a built-in interactive adhesive.
The system is designed to make subfloor preparation quicker and easier. The base boards are laid first, then the protective film is peeled back before the top boards are positioned and pressed firmly into place. By staggering the joints between the layers, the system creates a stable 7mm-thick overlay that is ready for the installation of your chosen flooring.
Quick and Convenient Subfloor Levelling
Jumpax Basic is a dry installation system, so there is no wet screed to mix and no drying period to wait for. Its lightweight boards are easy to handle and can help simplify the preparation of uneven subfloors, making it a useful solution when you want to get your flooring installation moving quickly.
The Craftsman fitting guide recommends Jumpax Basic as a quick method of levelling an uneven subfloor. Once installed correctly, the resulting smooth, stable surface provides a suitable base for a range of Luvanto flooring applications.
Suitable for Different LVT Installation Methods
The finished Jumpax Basic surface can be used with both dryback and click flooring. Dryback LVT can be glued directly onto the Jumpax surface, while a suitable click floor can be installed as a floating floor over it. This flexibility makes the system useful for different flooring designs and installation requirements.
Suitable for Underfloor Heating
Jumpax Basic can be used over underfloor heating and has a relatively low thermal resistance of 0.04m²K/W, equivalent to 0.7 tog. This allows heat to pass efficiently through the floor build-up while providing a stable base for the finished flooring.
When installed over QA TechniBoard underlay, the system provides up to 21dB of impact sound reduction. When used over QuickTherm Vapour underlay, it provides up to 19dB of impact sound reduction.
Two-Layer MDF Board System
Each Jumpax Basic board measures 600 x 1200mm, with the completed system providing an overall thickness of 7mm. The two-layer construction is designed to provide additional stability, while the built-in interactive adhesive makes it straightforward to bond the upper and lower layers together without using a separate adhesive.
For installation, the base boards are positioned first. The film is then peeled away and the top boards are pressed into place, ensuring the joints are staggered between the two layers. This creates a continuous and stable overlay ready to receive the flooring.
