All About Self-Leveling

Self-Leveling

When it comes to having even-surface floor it’s really important to know about the quality of concrete used. This determines the durability and perfection of tiles as uneven flooring often lead the tiles to crack. In civil engineering, concrete leveling is a procedure that attempts to correct an uneven concrete surface by altering the foundation that the surface sits upon. 

If your concrete floors are in need of repair, a resurfacing with self-leveling concrete is your solution. If the concrete is cracked, has varying elevations, is uneven or sunken then this solution is for you. It is a cheaper alternative to having replacement concrete poured and is commonly performed at small businesses and private homes as well as at factories, warehouses, airports and on roads, highways and other infrastructure.

Your concrete floor can look new again while at the same time you level unleveled surfaces.

But What is Self-leveling Exactly?

A self leveling compound is a chemical mixture used to smooth uneven concrete or wooden floors. Self-leveling concrete is a lot like concrete, but it flows easier and sets up much faster. It is polymer-modified cement that doesn't need the addition of large volumes of water for placement. The product is mixed with water, pumped or poured into place and spread evenly with a gauge rake. Once it's spread out, it continues to flow evenly and levels itself out.  Most types of uneven floors can be recovered by self-levelling.

It is used to create smooth flat surfaces with very high compressive strengths. It can be installed on the top of concrete, ceramic tile, VCT, Wood or Plywood or any non-flexible surface. It comes be laid out in a number of colors and design patterns. With self-leveling floors, business can even incorporate their logos on floor surfaces. As well as a finalized floor for certain environments, it's also an ideal choice for creating smooth subfloors for other flooring solutions (like carpets and tiles).  This is one way to prevent damage is by using self-leveling concrete.

What Are The Benefits of Self-Leveling Concrete?

Self-leveling concrete has increased in popularity as the degree of flatness and smoothness required for floor covering products has increased, with vinyl goods becoming thinner and floor tiles becoming larger. It also lessens the need for manpower to level out the clumps that have been typical in concrete. Self-leveling concrete is a cementitious mixture much like concrete. But unlike concrete, it flows easier and sets up much faster.

Some advantages of Self-Leveling Concrete are:

• Ease of Application
• Less labour required

• Water Resistant surface is obtained

Conclusion

Self-leveling concrete is simply the better investment. In the past, man had to use various tools or tractors to flatten the surface of concrete. That’s a lot of additional work when the concrete can simply be made to be even. Self-leveling concrete is extremely strong and laid in a layer of only a quarter or half an inch thick in most cases. This makes it suitable for use over the top of some existing floor coverings, subject to them being prepared properly. Because it’s strong, this is a good approach for homes, but also places like restaurants and  stores where there are a lot of people walking over it, and it has to stand up to the demands of a hectic environment.
