Floor Levelling

Levelling of concrete slabs has come a long way in recent years. The product range of self-levelling compounds, bulk fill products, rapid set patching compounds, engineered screeds and feather finish skim coats has increased with technology to have a product for all different areas. Below is a guide of floor levelling options from our preferred supplier Ardex Australia Self-Levelling screed- These are commonly used to make a concrete slab that is not as level (or as smooth) as it should be to the relevant  standard that is required, Self levelling screeds are usually applied from a 3mm minimum average to any thickness, But the costs tend to be excessive if the product is installed over 10mm thick. Bulk fill screed- These are commonly used were a floor has a set down or for ramping from 1 slab height to another. It’s a great product to build an internal ramp or to level a concrete slab greater than 10mm thick Engineered screed- these are commonly used in areas of set down concrete that require a fall to waste, such areas include en-suites in aged care & hospitals, dda compliant areas & cleaners rooms   Rapid Set screed- In the flooring industry this product is used extensively when the need for a product to dry very quickly is required and is generally used for the spot patching of sub floors.  Feather / fine finish- This product is used extensively where there is a need for minor skim coating to approximately 1mm were a floor isn’t as smooth as it should be as per the relevant Australian standard or general minor rectification prior to floorcoverings being installed.
