Floor Spreader for Self-Levelling Cement Screeds
Price range: R400.20 through R1,621.50
The ROX® Floor Spreader is a heavy-duty flooring application tool designed to spread self-levelling cement screeds at controlled thicknesses of approximately 10 mm to 40 mm. Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, it uses adjustable anchors to help contractors distribute thicker flooring materials consistently across prepared floors.
The ROX® Floor Spreader is suited to medium and large flooring installations where a gauging rake or Tri-Glide is not the most appropriate tool for the required material depth. It forms part of a complete self-levelling screed installation system alongside mixing equipment, primers, spike rollers and spike shoes.
| Code | Description | Size | Materials | Units |

A floor spreader is a professional flooring tool used to distribute self-levelling screed and other thick flooring materials across a prepared surface at a controlled depth.
The ROX® Floor Spreader is designed for heavier self-levelling cement screed applications. Its adjustable anchors allow the contractor to control the working position of the tool while pulling material across the floor.
Unlike a conventional hand trowel, a floor spreader is designed to improve consistency and reduce the amount of manual spreading required across larger areas. It is particularly useful when applying thicker cementitious flooring systems.

What is the ROX® Floor Spreader used for?
The ROX® Floor Spreader is used to spread thicker self-levelling cement screeds across prepared floors at a controlled application depth.
What thickness can the ROX® Floor Spreader apply?
It is positioned for approximately 10 mm to 40 mm self-levelling cement screed applications.
Can the Floor Spreader be adjusted?
Yes. Its anchors can be adjusted to control the working position of the tool.
What is the anchor adjustment range?
The current category describes anchor adjustment from 0 mm to 60 mm.
Is the Floor Spreader made from stainless steel?
Yes. The current category describes it as manufactured from high-quality stainless steel.
Is it suitable for cement screed?
Yes. It is specifically positioned for self-levelling cement screeds and thicker cementitious flooring systems.
Can it be used for epoxy flooring?
The current Floor Spreader page focuses on cement screeds. For epoxy systems, confirm compatibility with the material manufacturer before use.
What is the difference between a Floor Spreader and a Tri-Glide?
The Floor Spreader is designed for thicker self-levelling cement screeds, while the Tri-Glide is positioned for approximately 3–10 mm cement, epoxy and urethane systems.
What is the difference between a Floor Spreader and a gauging rake?
A gauging rake is intended for thinner systems, generally from approximately 500 microns to 4 mm. The Floor Spreader is intended for thicker cement screed applications.
What is the difference between a Floor Spreader and a Skeg Leveller?
A Skeg Leveller is designed for medium-thickness systems around 3–10 mm, while the Floor Spreader is intended for thicker cement screeds.
Do I need a spike roller after using the Floor Spreader?
Many self-levelling systems require de-aeration after spreading. The correct spike roller and procedure depend on the flooring manufacturer's instructions.
What spike roller should be used with thicker cement screed?
Use the 31 mm spike rollers for systems above 4 mm and cement-based systems, but the final choice should be confirmed against the product technical data sheet.
Is the Floor Spreader suitable for large floors?
It is designed to distribute heavy material systems and can be useful on medium and large flooring installations.
Can the Floor Spreader replace substrate preparation?
No. The floor must still be prepared, cleaned, checked and primed according to the flooring system's requirements.
How do I choose the correct Floor Spreader setting?
Choose the setting according to the required application thickness, material coverage rate and flooring manufacturer's installation instructions.
| Required Thickness | Recommended ROX® Tool | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 500 microns–4 mm | Gauging Rake | Thin self-levelling coatings and systems |
| 3–10 mm | Tri-Glide | Medium-thickness cement, epoxy and urethane systems |
| 3–10 mm | Skeg Leveller | Medium-thickness self-levelling systems |
| Approximately 10–40 mm | Floor Spreader | Thicker self-levelling cement screeds |
