Kronotex must be installed over a sub floor which is clean smooth and level. Laminate flooring with attached underlayment padding can accept a deviance of 1/8″ over 40″ but any low spots of 3/16″ or greater must be filled in with leveling compound. Portland based leveling compound is mixed with water then “floated” on the subfloor where the compound will flow to the low spots and level the floor. This leveling compound should dry within a few hours.
