What Is Self-Leveling Concrete?
Concrete flooring has soared in popularity in recent years. It installs quickly to create a smooth, flat, durable floor over just about any surface. If you are ready to renovate your floors and have concerns about the evenness of the underlying floor, self-leveling concrete might be a good option for you.
What Is Self-Leveling Concrete?
Concrete is a blend of cement, water, and aggregate. Self-leveling concrete is a type of concrete that is modified by polymers to make it highly viscous. When poured, it acts as a thick liquid that spreads easily and evenly to create a flat, smooth surface. At Blackrock Industrial, we can use self-leveling concrete to flatten concrete, tile, and plywood flooring or to create a flawlessly smooth surface before laying epoxy flooring, wood floors, vinyl, or tile.
The Advantages of Self-Leveling Concrete
- An exceptionally smooth, strong surface: Self-leveling concrete is an excellent option as a flooring material and also works well as an underlay for other flooring.
- Fast and easy to install: Self-leveling concrete requires no complicated procedures and installs quickly compared to many other flooring types.
- Much stronger than typical concrete: Self-leveling concrete has superior strength, making it a great option for not just leveling but also reinforcing structures.
- Clean and hygienic: Self-leveling concrete is more resilient in wet conditions and unlikely to contribute to mold growth compared to regular concrete. It’s hypoallergenic and easy to clean, requiring only sweeping and periodic damp mopping.
- Cost-effective: Our self-leveling concrete installations are affordable and reliable, and with good care, they can last years before needing repair or replacement.
