DEPENDABLE GSL is an exciting, unique polymer modified gypsum cement self-leveling underlayment used to level or smooth virtually all interior floor substrates. Pumpable or pourable, GSL delivers high strength, good water resistance and outstanding adhesion. Applications from nearly a featheredge up to 3" depth can be achieved in a single pour. GSL remains flowable for nearly an hour, yet will withstand foot traffic at any depth in about two hours. This self leveling underlayment offers high density, yet less finished weight and more flexibility than Portland cement self-levelers.

The DEPENDABLE Difference
Best over Suspended Substrates
As little as 1/8" coverage over other surfaces (example: radiant heat tubing)
Ready to use
Will not dust or crack (sealing not required)
Where to use...
DEPENDABLE GSL is ideal for leveling suspended substrates and is particularly compatible with lightweight concrete, gypsum, metal, radiant heat tube and other subfloor conditions where Portland cement materials may be less desirable and will perform as well or better that cement in dry interior conditions.
