Self-Leveling Concrete Overlay
SELF-LEVELING CONCRETE OVERLAY
Self-leveling overlays are pourable cementitious compounds that flow across a floor surface and level themselves through gravity. We use self-leveling products to correct uneven concrete floors, fill low spots, smooth rough surfaces, and create a flat substrate for tile, carpet, wood flooring, or polishing. Application involves surface preparation, primer, mixing, and pouring the self-leveling compound to the required depth (typically 1/4" to 1-1/2"). Cures to a hard, flat surface within hours.
Starting at $3 per sq ft

FAQs About Self-Leveling Concrete Overlay
How thick can self-leveler be applied?
