Self leveling epoxy coating

Make floors smooth and even with self leveling epoxy coating

As the name implies, self leveling epoxy coating is a flooring system which is used on various types of floors so as to make them smooth and even. They are usually applied on concrete floors but they are also an effective option on other kinds of floors such as those made of wood.

Surfaces that have cracks and bends can be made smoother by coating them with self-leveling paint. The paint settles in these cracks to fill them up and hence creates an even surface.

Self-leveling floor coating can be used on:

• Industry floors
• Garage floors
• On Showroom floors

The way a self-leveling floor works

Self-leveling epoxy floor coatings are made up of several additives that can easily flow and settle in cracks and dents. In order to use it, the floors need to be prepared by making them stable and should be cleaned.

Primer can be applied on floors so as to allow the self-leveling coating to bond strongly to the surface. Once you have applied the primer, make sure that you give it some time to dry off. Otherwise, the self-leveling coat may not work properly.

After preparing the self-leveling compound, it can be applied on the uneven surfaces. The coat will harden after approximately 5 hours.
