Self-leveling refers to a type of flowable compound (usually cement- or resin-based) that spreads evenly across a floor surface and automatically levels itself out without the need for troweling. It’s used to create a smooth, flat, and level base — especially important before installing flooring like tile, vinyl, carpet, or wood.

Common Uses:

• Fixing uneven or rough subfloors

• Leveling sloped or pitted concrete

• Preparing for vinyl, tile, hardwood, carpet, or epoxy coatings

• Underfloor heating systems (encapsulating heating wires or mats)

• As a finished surface when polished and sealed (in some commercial spaces)
