Levelling may be an ideal option if your floors are worn. Many people choose levelling when taking over commercial spaces with floors that are too damaged to simply install new flooring over existing flooring. Self-levelling concrete flooring is an option that addresses both the aesthetic and safety requirements of a space.
Two types of self-levelling concrete are available for your commercial, industrial or residential floors. Our knowledgeable team will help you decide the right approach for concrete repair and restoration at your location. The first option is something called self-levelling concrete overlayment.
Sometimes referred to as toppings, overlayments provide endless options for choosing finishes. If you want a one-of-a-kind "finished" floor that truly defines the look of a space, go with an overlayment. Your options are endless, including dyes, stained, and polished surfaces to meet your aesthetic goals. Overlayments are very amenable to aggregate applications and are a good floor leveller for concrete floors.
The second option is an underlayment floor. Unlike overlayments, self-levelling underlayments are not designed to serve as your finished flooring. They are instead intended to provide a smooth, flat surface that can be used as a base for installing floor coverings such as epoxy. Typically, self-levelling underlayments are used in conjunction with hardwood, tile, sheeting, and epoxy coatings. Underlayments provide a quick installation that allows floors to be walked on within just three hours. Following the underlayment process, new flooring can typically be installed within 24 to 48 hours.
When it comes to concrete floor levelling services, it's important that the self-levelling concrete material is applied over a correctly prepared substrate.
Generally, this involves diamond grinding or shot blasting procedures to get the substrate ready for it's finish. Before we progress further, we conduct tests on the substrate for both moisture vapours and relative humidity. This ensures that we avoid problems related to moisture that could affect the strength of the primer coat's bond. With these checks complete, the application process can get underway.
During the application process, our skilled team ensures that the self-levelling concrete compounds are mixed correctly and poured at a consistent thickness. We pay attention to the smallest of details to prevent any flaws or inconsistencies that could affect the final outcome. We typically apply these compounds over the entirety of the surface. Nevertheless, in some cases, we apply only in specific areas to correct dips or depressions in the substrate.
After the application, an ample curing time is allowed to ensure that the compound bonds correctly with the substrate. Once cured, we always run thorough checks on the levelled surface to confirm its strength and dependability. Our concrete floor levelling services provide durable and reliable results for a wide range of applications, from industrial flooring, commercial flooring and residential spaces.
In Alberta's wide-ranging climate, you'll find unlevel concrete floors everywhere, including garages, warehouses, restaurants, hospitals and more.
