Uneven subfloors are a problem that occurs in new builds and renovations alike, and one that causes issues when trying to lay finished floor coverings.
From a tired old concrete floor to timber floors with minimal dips and hills, an imperfect foundation can ruin the look and lifespan of your finish of choice. But do not worry because UK Screeds Ltd. has just the solution: self-levelling floor compound in Bristol and surrounding areas.
What Are Self-Levelling Compounds?
Self-levelling compounds are dedicated screeds used to produce an extremely smooth, level, and strong surface over pre-existing subfloors.
In contrast to traditional screeds needing extensive manual levelling, these compounds flow and naturally spread out to find their own level. They perform especially well for permeable substrates, providing a better tolerance for the installation of such materials as tiles, carpet, or luxury vinyl.
The Magic of Self-Levelling in Action
The process is quite effective.
After being mixed with water to the right consistency, the self-levelling compound can be either pumped or poured on the prepared subfloor. Thereafter, it sets to work its “self-levelling” motion, flowing evenly over the surface.
Our experienced technicians then employ a dapple bar or a spikeless roller to softly aid the flow and release any locked-in air bubbles, for a perfectly smooth finish. The added advantage is the minimised physical labour involved as opposed to conventional techniques, making them an effective time-saver.
Depending on the given product, you can walk on the installed surface in 3 to 24 hours.
Why Are They Essential for a Flawless Finish?
These products are a necessity for attaining the immaculate subfloor demanded by contemporary top flooring finishes. They avoid cracks, delamination, or an irregular finish that can be caused by an imperfect foundation. Optimum adhesion and durability depend upon proper preparation.
We always make sure the subfloor is free of bond breakers, clean, and stable and apply the right primer to seal porous surfaces and improve bonding. This careful preparation helps the self-levelling compound cure well and develop full strength.
