What are the steps involved in installing floor self leveling on a concrete subfloor?

The process of installing floor self leveling on a concrete subfloor involves several important steps to ensure a successful and durable result. Firstly, it is crucial to thoroughly clean and prep the concrete subfloor, removing any debris, dirt, or old adhesive to create a smooth and level surface. Once the subfloor is prepared, a floor primer should be applied to ensure proper adhesion of the self-leveling compound.


Next, carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions to mix the floor self-leveling compound to the correct consistency and pour it onto the subfloor. Use a gauge rake and smoothing tool to spread the compound evenly across the floor, working in small sections to avoid the mixture drying too quickly.


After the floor self leveling compound has been applied, it is essential to allow sufficient time for it to cure and set properly before proceeding with any further flooring installation. This typically involves following specific drying times recommended by the manufacturer and ensuring the area is free from foot traffic or any other potential disturbances. Once the compound has fully set, the subfloor should be smooth, level, and ready for the installation of your chosen flooring materials.
