For any flooring professional, the foundation of a successful installation isn't just the final luxury vinyl tile or the high-spec carpet: it is the preparation that happens before the first roll is laid or the first plank is clicked into place. At Somerset Flooring Supplies, we have built our reputation on providing the local trade with the highest quality materials available. We understand that your reputation is built on the durability of your work, and your profitability is built on your efficiency.
That is why we are incredibly proud to announce the addition of Kelmore to our trade counter. As a premier provider of flooring trade supplies, we don't add brands lightly. We look for manufacturers that align with our commitment to performance, speed, and reliability. Kelmore, a high-performance UK manufacturer, fits that bill perfectly.
In this post, we’ll take a deep dive into why we’ve partnered with Kelmore and how their flagship products, like LevelMore Pro and PrimeMore Universal, are set to become essential components of your daily kit.
Who is Kelmore?
Kelmore is not just another name in the crowded market of commercial flooring supplies. Based right here in the UK, they are a manufacturer that prides itself on technical excellence and a deep understanding of the chemistry required for modern subfloor preparation.
Their approach is simple: create products that work as hard as the fitters using them. By keeping their manufacturing local, they maintain a level of quality control that is second to none. For our customers at Somerset Flooring Supplies, this means consistent batches, reliable lead times, and products formulated specifically for the types of substrates commonly found in British construction and renovation projects.
The Game-Changer: LevelMore Pro
If you have been in the trade for any length of time, you know that the smoothing compound can make or break a job. LevelMore Pro is Kelmore’s answer to the demands of the modern flooring professional. It is a high-performance, rapid-setting, flexible smoothing compound that addresses the two biggest challenges on site: time and substrate movement.
Ultra-Rapid Drying Times
In the world of wholesale flooring, speed is often the deciding factor between a profitable week and a backlog of delayed projects. LevelMore Pro is engineered for rapid drying. In many conditions, it allows for foot traffic in a fraction of the time compared to traditional compounds. This means you can get onto the subfloor sooner, finish the installation faster, and move on to the next job.
Exceptional Flexibility
Modern flooring often involves laying over varied substrates, including timber and underfloor heating systems. These surfaces naturally experience thermal expansion and minor structural movement. LevelMore Pro’s flexible formulation ensures that it can withstand these stresses without cracking or debonding. This flexibility is a key reason why we’ve seen such high demand for it at our trade counter; it provides the peace of mind that a job won't result in a costly callback six months down the line.
Smooth Application
The "flow" of a compound matters. LevelMore Pro has been praised for its ease of application. It levels beautifully with minimal effort, reducing the amount of trowel work required and ensuring a glass-like finish that is essential for thin-gauge floor coverings like LVT.
Versatility with PrimeMore Universal
No matter how good your smoothing compound is, it is only as good as the bond it creates with the substrate. This is where PrimeMore Universal comes in. One of the primary reasons we added Kelmore to our commercial flooring supplies inventory was the sheer versatility of this primer.
PrimeMore Universal is a multi-purpose primer designed for use on both porous and non-porous substrates. Whether you are dealing with power-floated concrete, sand/cement screeds, or existing ceramic tiles, PrimeMore Universal provides the necessary "key" for subsequent layers.
Key benefits include:
- Reduced Suction: On highly porous surfaces, it prevents the smoothing compound from losing its moisture too quickly, which can lead to pinholing and poor strength.
- Enhanced Adhesion: It creates a secure chemical bond on non-porous surfaces.
- Concentrated Formula: Often dilutable, making it a cost-effective choice for large-scale commercial projects.
By carrying PrimeMore Universal in your van, you reduce the need to stock multiple specialist primers, streamlining your workflow and saving space.
Why Speed and Reliability Matter to Your Bottom Line
At Somerset Flooring Supplies, we see ourselves as a partner in your business. We know that the "wholesale flooring" market is competitive, and for a contractor, your most valuable asset is your time.
Using Kelmore products helps you reclaim that time in several ways:
- Reduced Site Visits: Because of the rapid-drying nature of LevelMore Pro, you can often prime, level, and lay in a significantly shorter timeframe. On smaller residential jobs, this can mean the difference between a two-day job and a one-day job.
- Consistency: There is nothing worse than a compound that behaves differently from bag to bag. Kelmore’s UK-based manufacturing ensures that the product you buy today will perform exactly like the product you bought last month.
- Fewer Call-backs: Call-backs are profit killers. They cost you fuel, time, and: most importantly: reputation. By using a high-performance, flexible system like Kelmore, you are investing in the longevity of the floor.
