Fibre Reinforced Self Levelling Screed for LVT, Vinyl, Carpet, Wood Flooring & More
Fassa SM 485 is a high-performance fibre reinforced self levelling screed designed for smoothing and levelling internal subfloors from 3–30mm in a single application. Suitable for commercial and domestic flooring projects, SM 485 delivers excellent flow, strong mechanical performance and compatibility with underfloor heating systems.
Suitable Substrates
SM 485 is suitable, subject to correct preparation and priming, for mechanically sound and dimensionally stable internal substrates including:
- Cementitious screeds
- Bonded screeds
- Anhydrite (calcium sulphate) screeds
- Securely bonded existing ceramic flooring
Suitable Finished Floorcoverings
Once cured, SM 485 provides an excellent base for the installation of:
- LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) – gluedown and click
- Vinyl & resilient flooring
- PVC flooring
- Carpet
- Rubber flooring
- Wood flooring (as a finished floorcovering installed over the cured compound)
- Ceramic & porcelain tiles

Note: "Wood flooring" refers to the finished floorcovering only. SM 485 is not approved for direct application over a timber subfloor — see the technical warning below.
⚠️ Technical Warning – Timber Substrates
Fassa's current technical data sheet does not approve SM 485 for direct application over plywood, floorboards or other timber subfloors. Do not use on highly flexible substrates unless suitability has been confirmed in writing by Fassa Technical Assistance.
