How to make self-leveling floors for tiles

Self-leveling flooring is one of the best materials for tiles, as it is characterized by high strength and evenness of the resulting base. It does not shrink and is protected from cracking and geometry changes. It is important to achieve a level surface before laying tiles. The optimal height difference is up to 2 mm per 1 linear meter of surface.

Self-leveling flooring has a number of advantages:

  • use as a finishing coating;
  • a good solution if a solid foundation is required;
  • high strength characteristics;
  • not susceptible to external factors;
  • withstands severe loads;
  • Ideal for ceramic tiles;
  • minimum drying time.

Note! Self-leveling flooring is suitable for application on a solid base. But it is better to pre-treat it with a primer to prevent the material from flowing into microcracks in the base.
