ALLOVER Smooth Floor and Wall Kit
The ALLOVER flooring and wall kit is specifically designed to provide a seamless surface that is both waterproof and durable.
By following the application instructions, you can create seamless, waterproof, and durable finishes in various areas of your home. One of the advantages of the ALLOVER system is that it can easily be applied directly on-site, without any previous preparation in most cases. They can be applied directly onto different surfaces, including concrete floors and old ceramic floors and walls. This flexibility makes it convenient for renovation projects where existing surfaces are present.
ALLOVER prioritizes technical performance, offering qualities such as excellent adhesion, high mechanical strength, and resistance to foot traffic. These attributes contribute to the durability and long-term performance of the system, making it suitable for residential applications.
Please remember that if the surface is not absorptive at all then use Pro Link as a primer.
However, there are limitations to the use of ALLOVER systems. It is not suitable for areas with trolley traffic or those used for industrial purposes, such as workshops, warehouses, wholesale facilities, and supermarkets. Additionally, it should not be applied in loading and unloading areas that require the use of trolleys, pallet trucks, forklifts, or similar equipment. Furthermore, it is not recommended for outdoor areas, areas adjacent to swimming pools, and areas used for car parking.

ALLOVER Smooth Floor & Wall Kit Components
Atomo is a water-based wall fixative that is completely solvent-free, offering excellent penetration, making it particularly well-suited for enhancing and stabilizing both indoor and outdoor (mineral) surfaces.
Continuo Base is a cement-based powdered anti-crack coating infused with resins, designed for use in conjunction with our micro cement systems. It serves as a foundational layer for decorative microcement applications, providing a combination of strength and flexibility to not only enhance the visual appeal but also extend its durability. Prior to applying this plaster, apply Atomo if the substrate is absorbent, or use Pro Link as a primer if it is not.
ALLOVER Finish (Decorative Coating) is a spreadable paste material that has been designed for use exclusively over horizontal and vertical coatings made with others to be used over specific coatings using ALLOVER spreadable products.
If you would like to achieve a smooth, minimalist, and less textured look, then you should use ALLOVER FINISH. This product is specially designed to adhere well to various substrates, including concrete, old resin floors, and tiles, and is easy to work with during application. Additionally, ALLOVER FINISH can be colored using a tinting system for customization.
Residential and Commercial Spaces: Suitable for homes, offices, retail stores, and other indoor environments that demand a refined finish.
ALLOVER Top is a transparent water-dilutable protective coating specifically designed for use with the ALLOVER SYSTEM. It gives a satin look to the coated surfaces, enhancing their appearance while providing essential protection. This protective coating offers high resistance to water, hot and cold liquids, and various substances commonly used in residential and catering settings.
Tools for ALLOVER
To create an outstanding look with our ALLOVER floor and wall kit you will need a Venetian plastering trowel, and putty knife (various sizes). While a plastic trowel can be used to create a slightly textured effect, it also serves the purpose of preventing any potential discoloration.
With this ALLOVER kit, you’ll have a lightweight flooring solution of 2 to 3mm, but more importantly, it can also be applied with some added preparation on furniture. You can further customise this system with its satin protector applied by roller, to create a long-lasting finish.
Other factors to consider: Corner beads, Stop beads, Reveal beads
