Frequently Asked Questions

What makes UZIN NC 888 F Fibre Finish different is its fibre-reinforced formulation. The fibres provide added stability and flexibility, helping to strengthen the repair layer and reduce the risk of cracking. This is particularly beneficial on substrates that may be subject to slight movement, such as flooring-grade plywood. It can be used to repair imperfections before installing a floor covering. It can fill small holes, repair trowel marks, smooth transitions and create an even surface. It also offers rapid drying performance, allowing most floor coverings to be installed in as little as 15 minutes, while being applied from a true feather edge up to 4 mm in a single coat.

UZIN NC 888 F Fibre Finish is an advanced feather repair mortar specifically formulated for floor preparation and small-scale repairs. This versatile mortar can be applied with a precision feather edge, allowing for a seamless finish, and it can be built up to a maximum thickness of 4 mm. This unique feature makes it exceptionally suitable for addressing a variety of surface imperfections, including minor damage, small holes, joints, and irregularities on the floor surface. Whether you are preparing a substrate for new flooring or repairing existing surfaces, UZIN NC 888 F Fibre Finish delivers a smooth, even finish, ensuring a durable, professional result.

A fibre-reinforced repair compound, such as UZIN NC 888 F offers enhanced stability and flexibility. The fibres help strengthen the repair coat and can reduce the likelihood of cracking, particularly on substrates that may experience slight movement, such as flooring-grade plywood.

Some feather repair coats, such as UZIN NC 888 F, can be applied over properly prepared existing surfaces, including ceramic tiles and terrazzo. Always ensure the surface is clean, sound, dry and free of any materials that could cause debonding, such as grease and dirt. See the product data sheet for more detailed application instructions. 

This depends on both the repair mortar and the substrate. Some feather repair products, including UZIN NC 888 F Fibre Finish, offer excellent bonding properties and may be used without a primer on many surfaces such as concrete, cement, flooring-grade plywood, terrazzo, ceramic tiles and old non-water-soluble adhesive residues. The fibres in UZIN NC 888 F also add a slight key for the subsequent adhesive, helping strengthen the bond. Check the product data sheet for further technical guidance before starting work.

Application thickness varies by product. UZIN NC 888 F can be applied from a true feather edge up to 4 mm in a single coat, making it suitable for both fine skimming and small hole filling. UZIN NC 888 F Fibre Finish has the added benefits of small micro-fibres which help strengthen and provide flexibility between joints and provide extra protection on subfloors subject to small movements. It is therefore ideal for filling small holes or applying over flooring-grade plywood to fill joints.

Drying and installation times depend on the product, application thickness, substrate absorbency and site conditions. UZIN NC 888 F Fibre Finish is ready for most floor coverings in approximately 15 minutes when applied to a well-absorbent substrate at up to 1 mm.

*At 20 °C and 68% relative humitidy, at max. thickness of 1 mm on well absorbent substrates.
