Cementitious Self Leveling is a high-performance flooring compound used to create a
smooth, flat, and level surface before installing final floor finishes such as tiles,
vinyl, laminate, carpet, or epoxy coatings. It is a specially formulated cement-based
material that spreads easily across the floor and automatically levels itself to remove
unevenness, cracks, and surface irregularities.
This solution is widely used in
residential, commercial, and industrial spaces to prepare floors quickly and efficiently
while ensuring long-term durability and strength.
Why Cementitious Self Leveling is Used
Uneven or damaged floors can cause major problems during flooring installation. Cementitious self leveling is used to correct surface imperfections and create a perfectly level base.
It is commonly used for:- Repairing uneven concrete floors
- Preparing surfaces before tile, vinyl, or wooden flooring installation
- Renovating old or damaged floors
- Providing a smooth base for epoxy or polyurethane coatings
- Leveling floors in commercial buildings, hospitals, warehouses, and homes
By creating a flat surface, it improves the appearance, performance, and lifespan of the final flooring system.
How Cementitious Self Leveling Works
The application process of cementitious self leveling is quick and efficient when done by professionals.
-
Surface Preparation
The existing floor surface is cleaned to remove dust, grease, oil, or loose particles. Cracks or holes are repaired if required.
-
Primer Application
A bonding primer is applied to improve adhesion between the substrate and the leveling compound.
-
Mixing the Compound
The cementitious self leveling compound is mixed with water using specialized equipment to achieve the correct consistency.
-
Pouring & Spreading
The mixture is poured onto the floor and spreads automatically due to its fluid nature, filling low spots and leveling the surface.
-
Drying & Curing
Within a few hours, the surface becomes smooth and ready for further flooring installation.
