Product Information

F. Ball Stopgap 1600 is a fibre-reinforced smoothing compound, devised for the renovation of both new and existing internal floors in both commercial and domestic settings. Also suited for its application over electrically wired and water-fed underfloor heating and cooling systems, it proves to be a versatile product. This compound is composed in a manner to match the pace of fast-paced construction projects, not keeping you waiting as it dries swiftly and is ready to accommodate new floor coverings in as early as 12 hours at a 35mm thickness.

The Stopgap 1600 is specially blended as a dry powder, implying it has a substantial amount of initial water resistance, allowing for the application between 3-40mm in one application. Its protein-free composition ensures it can be used safely in biologically sensitive areas. It is appropriate for use over a wide array of absorbent and non-absorbent subfloor types such as sand-cement screed, concrete, tile backer boards, plywood, granolithic, terrazzo, epoxy and polyurethane resins, ceramic and quarry tiles, and STOPGAP waterproof surface membranes.

The compound is very user-friendly with a bag and water mix approach. It offers a workable time of around 15-20 minutes, becoming walk-on hard within approximately 3 hours, while it takes about 12-72 hours to prepare the floor coverings. Additionally, it gives extensive coverage of around 1.8 kg/m. This fast-drying, dimensionally stable compound is available in a 20kg bag. Furthermore, Stopgap 1600 can be used over underfloor heating systems due to its thermal conductivity, making it an ideal choice for contemporary flooring projects.
