Why Is Surface Preparation Required Before Floor Levelling?

Surface Preparation is the essential first stage treatment of a Concrete or Timber substrate before the application of any coating (Including Floor Levelling), and is generally accepted as being the most important factor affecting the total success of a corrosion protection system.

Surface Preparation is extremely important when it comes to Floor Levelling. Floor Levelling agents will fail if proper Surface Preparation has not been done. Concrete Grinding or Floor Sanding must be done before installing Floor Levelling products.

Proper Surface Preparation ensures the longevity of your project. A poorly prepared surface, on the other hand, can result in costly repairs and your project failing altogether.

Surface Preparation should include:
– Removal of the current flooring system or coating
– Concrete Grinding or Floor Sanding (Depending on your subfloor)
– Performing any repairs necessary, such as Concrete Cancer Repairs or Application of Waterproof Membranes
– Installation of a Floor Levelling product

After this process, you are now ready to install a new flooring system!
