SEMPAFLOOR is a unique insulating lining specifically designed for application to a wide range of floors. SEMPAFLOOR can be used as either thermal insulation for cold surfaces or as acoustic insulation where impact noise is a problem. In both situations it is an excellent, easy to install, economical solution. For over 20 years SEMPAFLOOR has been specified and successfully used by Local Authorities, Housing Associations, County Authorities, commercial and industrial outlets throughout the UK and Europe. It can be used on a broad spectrum of buildings and structures including flats, houses, schools, village halls, private homes, hotels, offices, universities, hospitals etc.
SEMPAFLOOR can be used on concrete floors, solid floors and is particularly useful where “cold bridging” is the cause of condensation and mould growth. SEMPAFLOOR provides an excellent thermal barrier to prevent transmission of cold from outside. It will also reduce heat loss, providing substantial energy saving and reduction in heating bills. It overcomes the problem of foam backed carpets sweating up against concrete floors and the age old complaints of “rising damp” in the middle of the floor.
SEMPAFLOOR can be used on all types of floor and is ideal for use on “flying bedrooms”, rooms over garages or driveways and rooms over external passageways. It has substantial benefits on park home floors and rooms in older properties located over cellars/basements.
SEMPAFLOOR can be used on all types of floor construction to reduce noise problems. It has excellent acoustic insulation ability and is particularly good for reduction of impact sound. It is particularly useful in houses of multiple occupancy (HMOs) for overcoming sound transmission complaints. SEMPAFLOOR has been tested by two independent authorities and the results show a dramatic reduction in the level of noise.
SEMPAFLOOR is easy and quick to instal and the benefits are immediate, making floors warmer. The floor surface needs minimal preparation and at only 4.5mm thick, in most circumstances it is not necessary to remove the skirting. SEMPAFLOOR can be used on any type of floor and excellent for noise reduction in HMOs. It has substantial benefits on park home floors and rooms in older properties located over cellars/basements.

Technical Information
SEMPAFLOOR is made from a natural material, latex, with a non-woven polyester surface which provides an ideal finish for the application of all types of floor covering including carpet, vinyl, wood panel and tiles. The product is flexible and provides excellent indentation recovery which allows the use of SEMPAFLOOR in the heaviest of traffic areas. SEMPAFLOOR will not deteriorate or crumble and is very hard wearing and resilient to point loading.

Surface Preparation
-
Ensure floor surface is firm, dry, free from dust, mould, grease and all other contaminants. Screw down loose, squeaking floorboards. Mould contaminated surfaces must be sterilized using RLT BACTDET 05. Dilute at 1:4 with warm water and apply by brush, cloth or sponge to remove mould. Allow surfaces to dry thoroughtly.
-
Apply one coat of SEMPATAP ADHESIVE with SEMPATAP ADHESIVE SPREADER, notched trowel or medium pile roller to an area not more than 5-6 square metres, 1 metre width.
-
On timber floors SEMPAFLOOR can also be fixed using a staple gun.
-
Apply first metre of SEMPAFLOOR (keep remainder rolled-up), with the foam side to wet adhesive. Smooth out using SEMPAFLOOR SPATULA. Using SEMPATAP SPATULA tuck SEMPAFLOOR into wall/floor junction and/or under skirting.
-
Instal the remainder of SEMPAFLOOR and ensure it is smoothed out using the SEMPATAP SPATULA and firmly positioned. Butt join subsequent lengths of SEMPAFLOOR and continue application until the entire floor is covered.
