About Spike Roller for Floor Levelling
The Flooring Works 600mm Spike Roller is a must-have tool for achieving perfectly smooth, bubble-free surfaces when installing self-levelling compounds, cement overlays, and liquid floor systems. Designed for both professionals and DIY users, this spike roller helps remove trapped air, prevents pinholes, and ensures a flawless, even finish across the entire floor.
Purpose of a Spike Roller for Floor Levelling
1. Removes trapped air bubbles
When you pour self-levelling compound, air gets trapped inside the mix or in small dips in the substrate.
A spike roller punctures the surface and releases these bubbles, preventing:
-
Pinholes
-
Air pockets
-
Surface craters
-
Weak spots in the cured floor
This is the main reason installers use it.
2. Helps the compound flow uniformly
The roller’s long plastic spikes gently agitate the liquid surface, allowing it to:
-
Settle to its natural level
-
Flow into low points
-
Smooth out trowel marks
This improves overall flatness and reduces manual reworking.
3. Ensures a consistent finish
Using a spike roller shortly after pouring gives:
-
A smoother surface
-
Better bonding with subsequent flooring (timber, hybrid, vinyl, carpet, tile)
-
Improved surface strength due to fewer voids
4. Used together with spike shoes
Installers normally wear spike shoes so they can walk over the wet compound while rolling without leaving footprints.
