From subfloor preparation and moisture control to soundproofing, bonding and finishing, each layer of a floor installation needs to perform reliably. If a product hasn’t been designed to work with another, you’re risking failures, inconsistent results and potentially the warranty of a product.
We’ve simplified this entire process with one fully compatible system, which is trusted by professionals across the UK. It covers everything. From DPMs to adhesive, underlay and finishing products, all tested to work in harmony.
You could be working on a retrofit with UFH, a new build screed, or laying oversized boards in a commercial space. Our complete system delivers speed, confidence and long-term performance.
Why Other Wood Flooring Systems Fall Short
Using a patchwork of products from various suppliers can lead to the following:
- Incompatibility – Incompatible products may interfere with curing or adhesion, potentially causing uneven drying, reduced bond strength, or complete system failure.
- Inconsistency – Every brand has its own specifications and tolerances
- Warranty Failure – When incompatible products are used, it can be difficult to establish responsibility if issues arise and can result in warranties being void.
- Delay – Juggling separate deliveries and supplier contacts can hold up project progress
What the Full Marldon System Looks Like
Smoothing Compound
Start with a stable base. Our new and improved MXS110 is fibre-reinforced, protein-free, moisture-tolerant, and works over most subfloors, even beneath a DPM. It’s engineered for bonded timber floor installs, giving you reliability from the ground up.
Primers & DPMs
Achieve long-lasting performance with our primers and DPMs. They’re designed to maximise bond strength, control moisture, and create the perfect surface for the next layer.
