Self Leveling Concrete that can withstand Light Vehicular Traffic

Self leveling concrete has many benefits that makes it a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications. One of its biggest benefit is easy application, quick and easy to resurface existing concrete. It can also create a decorative concrete finished wear surface through techniques such as pigmented color dyes, stains and mechanical polishing. It’s durable enough to withstand light vehicular traffic, perfect for garage floor coverings and other exterior concrete areas and gives you surfaces for various floor finishes. Self leveling concrete is also versatile in design, can create a flat surface to accommodate various floor finishes such as ceramic tile, natural stone, hardwood resilient flooring, VCT, linoleum and concrete overlays. It’s a great option to level uneven floor coverings and a solid base for finished floor installations.

Mixing and applying self-leveling concrete overlays requires attention to details to get it right. Here’s what to do:

1. Follow the Manufacturer’s Instructions: Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for mixing and applying the overlay. This will ensure you use the right water to powder ratio and get the right consistency.

2. Mix the Overlay Correctly: Use the right water to powder ratio as specified by the manufacturer. Mix well to avoid lumps and get a smooth flowable consistency.

3. Apply: Pour the mixed overlay onto the prepared surface and spread it with a trowel or squeegee. Work in small sections to maintain even coverage and don’t let the overlay set too fast.

4. Use a Leveling Tool: To get even application and correct thickness use a leveling tool like laser level or spirit level. This will get you surfaces ready for any floor finish.

5. Finish the Surface: Once applied use a trowel or broom to finish the surface, get a smooth and even texture. This is important to get a professional look.

By following these mixing and application techniques you’ll get a smooth and durable self-leveling concrete surface ready for any finish.

Despite planning and execution everything can go wrong during self-leveling concrete overlays. Here are some common problems and solutions:

1. Inadequate Bonding: If the overlay is not bonding to the old concrete check the surface preparation. Make sure the surface was clean, dry and primed correctly before applying the overlay.

2. Uneven Surface: If the surface is uneven check the leveling tool and make sure it’s calibrated correctly. Also make sure you’re working in small sections to maintain even coverage and get flat surfaces.

3. Cracking: If the overlay is cracking check the thickness of the application. Make sure it’s within the manufacturer’s recommended range. Applying too thin or too thick can cause cracking.

4. Discoloration: If the overlay is discolored check the mixing ratio. Make sure you’re using the right water to powder ratio and mixing well to get a consistent color.

5. Delamination: If the overlay is delaminating check the preparation and make sure the primer was applied correctly. Surface preparation is key to prevent delamination.

By following these and common problems you’ll get a successful exterior self-leveling concrete overlay and a long lasting finish.

Benefits and Applications

Exterior self-leveling concrete overlays offer numerous benefits and applications, making them a popular choice for residential and commercial projects. One of the primary advantages of these overlays is their ability to create a flat and smooth surface, perfect for finish interior concrete slabs and other sound substrates. They can be used to level uneven floor surfaces, providing a durable solution for interior concrete slabs and other areas with rough concrete. Self-leveling concrete overlays are suitable for exterior and interior applications, including driveways, walkways, patios, and loading docks. They can be used to achieve a polished concrete look, and their high-strength wear surface makes them ideal for areas with heavy foot traffic. Additionally, these overlays can be used in conjunction with epoxy coatings, ceramic and quarry tile, and other flooring materials to create a unique and attractive appearance.
