12,550 Ft / 25 kg
Example: 150 m² office, 5 mm leveling, new gres covering.
Why this?
Material cost example (50 m², 5 mm):
Technical:
Maximum layer thickness: 10 mm in one go. If more is needed: 10 mm first layer → 24 hours waiting → 10 mm second layer.
17,750 Ft / 25 kg (+41% compared to Eco)
Example: Shower renovation — uneven wall, must be ready by tomorrow.
Why this one?
Price-labor calculation (50 m², 5 mm, floor only):
Why is the material more expensive?
Fast setting technology — special additives. But if the project is one day faster, the labor cost savings compensate.
Technical:
Maximum layer thickness: 25 mm in one go — this is LR’s greatest advantage. If more is needed: 25 mm first layer → ≈2 hours waiting → second layer.
20,300 Ft / 25 kg (+62% compared to Eco)
Example: 300 m² restaurant, rubber flooring, 500+ guests daily.
Why this one?
Price comparison (50 m², 5 mm, vinyl flooring):
Why the most expensive?
Technical:
Maximum layer thickness: 20 mm in one pass.
| Substrate type | Primer |
|---|---|
| Concrete, cement screed | Universal Wall Primer |
| Porous concrete, old screed | Active Prime Fix |
| Plasterboard, gypsum plaster | Active Prime Fix (MANDATORY for gypsum) |
| Old tile, stone | Keragrip Eco Pulep adhesion promoter |
| Painted surface | Remove paint mechanically, then apply primer |
| Asphalt, bitumen | Not suitable — Keralevel does not adhere to bitumen substrates |
Important: Moisture measurement is mandatory. Maximum 2% CM (cement), 1% (gypsum). Wet substrate = no adhesion.
Chosen: Keralevel Eco LR
Why? There was a wall (shower), it had to be ready by tomorrow. 2 hours till tiling + vertical surface = LR.
Chosen: Keralevel Eco Ultra
Why? LVT floor — ultra-smooth surface needed, commercial use (30 people, swivel chairs). C30 strength + vinyl-compatible = Ultra.
Chosen: Keralevel Eco
Why? Large area, 2 days available, ceramic tiles. 4-hour pot life = one mix for the whole area. Lower price. Eco.
Chosen: Keralevel Eco Ultra
Why? Rubber floor + 300 guests daily + heavy kitchen equipment. C30 strength + EN 12529 rolling load = Ultra. Repair costs (if done poorly with Eco) exceeded the price of Ultra.
Chosen: Keralevel Eco LR
Why? Vertical surface (wall) + sloped stair surface. Only LR works on vertical/sloping surfaces. No alternative.
Keralevel LR or Ultra for faster vinyl flooring?
Ultra. LR can be tiled after 2 hours for ceramic, but for vinyl/flexible flooring, Ultra provides an ultra-smooth surface. LR is not optimized for flexible coverings.
Why isn’t Ultra the best everywhere?
For ceramic coverings, C30 strength is unnecessary — C25 (Eco) is more than enough. You pay extra for a feature you don’t use. If there is no vinyl flooring and no commercial traffic, Ultra is wasteful.
Can Eco be applied on walls?
No. It slips. Only LR works on walls — the thixotropic formula plus fast setting together ensure it stays on vertical surfaces.
Why is LR more expensive if it is weaker (C20 vs. C25)?
Because speed does not come from strength but from special fast-setting technology. C20 is enough for residential and commercial use. The premium is in time saved, not strength.
Is there a cheaper alternative to Ultra for vinyl flooring?
No safe one. If the base is not ultra-smooth, sticking vinyl is problematic, the covering senses unevenness. Repair costs (re-gluing, possibly new flooring) exceed the price of Ultra.
Which is the "best"?
There is no "best," only "suitable for the project":
❌ Applied on a damp base → Does not adhere, flakes off
✅ Solution: Moisture meter — max. 2% CM (cement), 1% (gypsum). Damp base = wait for drying or dry it.
❌ No primer → Does not adhere, cracks, dusty surface
✅ Solution: Primer suitable for the base (see the table above)
❌ No deaeration (no spiked roller) → Air bubbles, weak surface, cracking
✅ Solution: Roll with a spiked roller within 5-10 minutes after application — mandatory!
❌ Too thick a layer in one go (e.g. Eco 15 mm) → Cracking, drying problems
✅ Solution: Keep the maximum layer thickness: Eco 10 mm | LR 25 mm | Ultra 20 mm
❌ Covering too quickly → Base not yet firm enough, covering lifts
✅ Solution: Observe the waiting time: Eco 24 hours | LR 2 hours | Ultra 2-6 hours
❌ Wrong water-to-powder ratio → Too thin: weak strength | Too thick: does not spread, air bubbles
✅ Solution: Accurate measurement — 25 kg powder + 6-6.5 liters water (depending on product)
❌ Dusty, loose base not cleaned → Does not adhere, peeling
✅ Solution: Vacuuming + primer. If very loose: mechanical cleaning (sanding, chiseling).
Keralevel Eco LR is unique: 2 hours workable + suitable for vertical surfaces. This combination is rare on the market. If the project is urgent AND there is a wall, the LR solves both.
Keralevel Eco Ultra: C30-F7 strength + ship certification + vinyl-optimized. The C30 strength (30 N/mm²) is an advantage in trade, the ship certification (IMO) proves resistance to extreme conditions.
Keralevel Eco: 4 hours pot life + thixotropic. For large surfaces (50+ m²) no re-mixing is needed, you work with one mix for hours.
Important: If you find a better alternative for your project, use it. We do not say that Keralevel is the best everywhere — we say that in these situations (fast+wall, vinyl+C30, large surface+long pot life) Keralevel solves the problem effectively.
