What is Self Leveling Compound?
Self-leveling compound is a polymer-modified cement-based product designed to create a flat, smooth surface on uneven concrete floors. It’s a fluid material that seeks its own level when poured, making it ideal for correcting floor irregularities before installing final floor coverings such as tile, hardwood, or carpet. This specialized compound can level floors with variations from feather-edge to several inches thick, depending on the specific product used.
How to Use Self Leveling Coverage Calculator
Step 1: Measure Your Floor Area
Measure the length and width of your floor space. Multiply these measurements to get the total area. Input this value into the “Floor Area” field and select the appropriate unit (square feet or square meters).
Step 2: Determine Required Thickness
Assess the floor’s current condition and determine the required thickness for leveling. Input this measurement in either millimeters or inches.
Step 3: Check Product Coverage Rate
Review your self-leveling compound product specifications to find the coverage rate per bag at 1/4 inch thickness. Enter this value in the “Bag Coverage” field.
Step 4: Review Results
Click the calculate button to get the number of bags needed and total weight. The calculator will display the results along with a detailed explanation of the calculation process.
Step 5: Plan Your Purchase
Based on the calculated results, plan your material purchase. It’s recommended to add 10% extra for waste and potential miscalculations.
Step 6: Verify Product Compatibility
Ensure the selected self-leveling compound is suitable for your specific application, considering factors such as substrate type and final floor covering.
