thanks mate!

I've done this a few times but Idk how to price it correctly.. would u be so kind as to give me some pointers on that please?

@@chapothakid5080 The best way to charge for self leveler is to charge by the foot. But you have to keep in mind that it is way more expensive than regular concrete so you might want to charge some where around $11per sq ft.

Thanks for responding... I usually charge for the labor and have them buy the material..

@@chapothakid5080 It's easy. Charge a lot.

With that information if I accept about 20 similar job descriptions, I just might make up for bid mistake,s of the past.it appears effortless.very deciving. Thanks a million.it has now become a direct challenge! Takein no prisoners!

Anglia Decor Ltd - Painting Contractor right when you dont know what you doing as him🤘

Don't cover the drywall. You want the drywall off of the floor a bit so that if there is ever a spill or minor leak, it doesn't soak up into the drywall.

@Eric Hugh yea, have been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself :)

Go metric sonny boy

You're saying concrete expands and contracts like wood?

They make special rollers for this application , it even helps remove air bubbles.

@@levthelion Yes, all concrete will shrink slightly as it dries and, when it's set, will expand and contract depending on the ambient temperature. That's why concrete has expansion joints.

Yea I raised a floor up to level instead of going for flat you should be able to skim flat is much more important then level I wish I was told this wasted much time and money looking for a level floor when I just need ed flat

Spike roller is not for breaking any tension.

@@misiokinsale It lets air bubbles out, and it flattens the leveling compound out, especially where the two pours meet that are of different consistencies.

pensacola

Same with apoxy

You can use screed system for leveling only when is 2 inches or 5cm thick.Screed does not have any bonding component (latex). You have to use ceramic tile adhesive to combine together the old concrete (with carpet glue) and screed. This floor was out of level from 0" to 1/2" or 13mm we use Primer-L and self-leveling component Novaplan-2 from Mapei.

This video may give you some idea how to do Drypack cement please pay attention how we use adhesive for bonding to the old concretekzfaq.info/get/bejne/qth9fd2Et8mXY6c.html

Lone Ranger look it up, you ARE using KZfaq.

Dry pack can be used from 0 to 2 inches maximum? Isn't that the specs for most ? Not 2 inches minimum but 2 inches maximum??? Am I wrong here because I have seen floors levelled with Dry pack from 1 inch to 0 many times. Even the flex tile brand uses 1 " as a guide to determine the sqft per bag. Your thoughts?

Professor Kaos I use thinset with 1/4" v notch to bond my dry pack. I also use type M mortar it can be applied from 1/16 to 6". If you use a brand that makes tile products such as Mapei, Jamo, Laticrete,etc.... then yes max is 2". I never use those products not because they're no good. I save a lot of money buying 80lb bags vs 50lb also $5.85 vs $9-13. I run my screeds with dry pack then next day I fill in with type M but I mix it wet like cement. I use a 3/8" square notch to apply thinset then type M on top. I have found this way to work so well for me. I did a carport and we tiled it. They drive on it. Type M mortar has a 2500lb psi which is over kill for inside a house. Im sure others would disagree. I have been in the flooring industry for 27 years thats how I was taught. Good luck

call in a professional flooring company to fix it

Try a resin floor to level it Tony, more robust. Kiln dried sand is added to the resin to fill low areas before top coat over all.

You not saying how thick you needs to do. If you want to brush similar to paint/primer ,yes you could do it.Did you notice on the video this is very liquid run by itself like a water everywhere where is lower spot

Ueysno

I wouldn't buy more than 8 bags.... do not forget the primer.You always can go on top of it.

Novaplan2 and Primer L from Mapei

Probably no one

@@TheBshackelford1 lol

Drywall is 1/2"-13mm from the floor and self level cement in 1 hour is dry/hard...is no time to absorb from the floor.Thickness in this floor was 3/8" to 1/2" 10-13mm

Matt93se Yes ...but remember Self Leveling Cement runs like water make sure there is no huge slope everything will run in one direction to the lowest spot until it's filled up

Got that part covered, thanks. I just wanted to make sure the cured strength was up to the task of dealing with floor jacks and heavy metal!

Matt93se go to kzfaq.info?ci=O9PxzzXcr0M for more information

Brendan Jamison you still can have gradual slope to the drain if you start self levelling away from the drain... but not by the drain.

no for many reasons. you need to fix that with plywood and sleepers

Yes. Confirm with the product you plan on using that the self-leveler is approved for epoxy top coatings. Many are but some are not.

Francisco

Yes it will. Use plyboard instead

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I was working on a very expensive plush office building in Central London a couple of years back and the contractors poured about 40 bags of levelling compound onto the main entrance hall floor. What they didn't do and should have done was seal around the edges. The result. Unknowingly the compound poured through a quite narrow gap straight into the electricity cupboard in the basement room below. The building was big and had a lot of fuse boards etc. £32,000 in damages as the offices couldn't function and the whole room needed complete rewiring. A lot of damage.

Dear God you shouldn't attempt this if you are asking these questions.

Habib Khushi 1 bag 22.7 kg or 50 lbs

All control joints in the old slab should be honored and recut. Otherwise the leveler will crack. You may also want to fill the crack with spray foam so the water in mix and leveler does not fill the old control joints.

@@jhalleck Even if using a product like Ditra?

Jorge Ramos self levelling latex is expensive but more forgiving then normal latex screed Ardex being one of the best also don’t do it like this all wrong.. floor must be primed use spiked shoes not wellies and use a spiky roller to help the flow and to smooth out any trowel marks

That was about $800 in material based on my local hardware store pricing.

@@danielboard7097 you don't need spiked shoes. They are helpful but as long as you smooth out your shoe marks on your way off the concrete you will be fine.

@@randybobandy9828 true but spiked shoes aren’t as messy and it also looks more professional in my opinion

We use Mapei ; first Primer L after 25 min.Novaplan 2. Flow time for 5-10 min.Workable time is 30 min. You can walk on it in 2-3 hours .

I have a concrete floor that could use this product in a residential garage. What kind of sustained work loads can this product endure? Will it crack under stress from floor jacks and jack stands etc?

same lol

Levelling cement is made by Mapei

Conmix ltd. in uae

What do you mean? Do you have different solutions?

@@acidforsavages8563 I think so, but Checkt it out... www.nivilli.com

Nail shoes would k dnt have changed a thing. He might have saved a few oz of product from getting stuck on his boots, that's it.

What kind of question is that?

Ardex Rover.

I made one :)

Pin-rake

Now... you can ad the primer only if you want to do one more layer of self levelling.Otherwise is not necessary

pscjavvy08 you might as well demo what you already poured because your floor will pop it had nothing to bond to.

Primer the existing clean concrete substraight FIRST....TRY READING THE DIRECTIONS OF THE LEVELING COMPOUND!!!!

Barb Wleklinski

Suppost to be 5 quart water 1 50 lbs bag

It need to be fiber reinforced or otherwise it will crack again.

HAHAHA!! I spit my juice out.

some cracks can not be filled.....or at least shouldn't. But you know some "guys" are too curious!

as soon as i saw this guys butt crack i went straight to the comments🤣🤣🤣🤣. i wasnt disapointed!

Mr. Wizeguy 😂😂😂😂

Had you sealed the floor? The existing floor may have sucked the moisture out causing the the compound you poured to go off too quick. Otherwise, your mix may not have been runny enough - not enough water.

@@almusti Yes I did seal it before. It probably was not runny enough although I did mix it to specifications.

50 pound

Do you not know videos have a description section and that question you asked was answered in that section?

@@randybobandy9828 that question was asked a year ago, answered a year ago and you still failed to answer the question

yo bro good wht is Reapply the same primer which you use... before self-leveling is pouring on that floor.

you are so nice , thanks for your reply.

Figures two idiots would know what each other was saying.

Figure the idiot that got his nose stuck in something he has nothing to do with it.

In case the floor isnt level....

Thanks for the detailed feedback.

I wondered what you were on about...and then I saw the logo, put 2 and 2 together and nearly shat myself. LOL!!!!!

Wtf are you talking about? He used exactly the amount I calculated for the variation in depth. You must have done it wrong or over diluted your crete making it weak

Why do people like you exist?
