Professional Subfloor Preparation Tool by Imperial Flooring Australia
When it comes to high-quality flooring installation, subfloor preparation is the foundation of every successful project. At Imperial Flooring Australia, we understand that achieving a perfectly level surface is critical—especially when working with modern flooring systems like engineered timber, hybrid, vinyl, and laminate.
The Imperial Spike Roller for Floor Self Levelling is a professional-grade tool designed to deliver flawless results when applying self-levelling compounds across residential and commercial projects.
What is a Spike Roller for Floor Levelling?
A spike roller is an essential tool used during the application of self-levelling compound. As levelling products are poured and spread across a subfloor, air can become trapped within the mixture. If left untreated, these air pockets can lead to:
Surface pinholes
Weak spots in the compound
Uneven finishes
Reduced flooring adhesion
The Imperial Spike Roller is specifically engineered to remove these issues by penetrating the compound and releasing trapped air—ensuring a smooth, consistent, and structurally sound surface.
Why Choose the Imperial Spike Roller?

Designed with the needs of flooring contractors in mind, the Imperial Spike Roller delivers reliable performance across all job sizes—from small residential renovations to large-scale commercial flooring installations.
Eliminates Air Bubbles & Surface Defects
The evenly spaced spikes are optimised to:
Break surface tension
Release trapped air
Prevent bubbling and crater formation
This ensures your levelling compound cures without imperfections.
Improves Self-Levelling Compound Flow
The roller assists in:
Distributing compound evenly
Helping material settle into low spots
Reducing trowel marks and inconsistencies

The Importance of Proper Subfloor Levelling
Failing to correctly prepare a subfloor can lead to long-term flooring issues, including:
Visible imperfections through finished flooring
Movement and instability in floating floors
Adhesive failure in direct stick applications
Increased wear and reduced lifespan of flooring materials
By incorporating the Imperial Spike Roller into your levelling process, you ensure a professional finish that supports the longevity and performance of your flooring system.
Spike Size Options (Updated Spec)
Choosing the correct spike size is critical depending on the depth of your levelling compound:
11mm Spikes
Ideal for thinner applications
Perfect for light levelling and smoothing coats
Suitable for minor subfloor corrections
21mm Spikes
Designed for thicker pours and heavy build-ups
Provides greater penetration into deeper levelling compounds
