Floor Levelling in by Qualified Expert in Melbourne, VIC & across Australia
It goes without saying that levelling is one of the most important aspects of concrete flooring. With proper levelling, the floors will have undulations and inaccuracies that only advocate poor craftsmanship. Apart from poor craftsmanship, uneven floors are also caused by humidity and the cracks and crevices that concrete develops over time. Soil erosion at the base of the floor is also sometimes responsible for uneven floors.
Regardless of the root cause, unevenness in concrete floors is a major concern that has to be addressed fast, and that is an immensely expensive affair. To avoid this expense, there has to be perfect levelling of the concrete floors. That is why competent flooring specialists always go for perfect floor levelling when constructing concrete floors. We at Premium Floor Gallery are one of the best to conduct floor levelling in Melbourne, VIC, & across Australia.
How do our Experts Conduct Floor Levelling?
When it comes to levelling the floor, our experts would use a long spirit level and measure the distance between the raised end of the level and the floor by holding the lower end up until the bubble moved to the centre. Concrete floors that are found to be within 5 mm off the level are generally levelled with the help of self-levelling concrete.
To do so, our experts would use a self-levelling chemical compound that smooths concrete floors.
What is self-levelling concrete?
Self-levelling concrete is available in two forms. One comes as a powder, along with another bottle of latex liquid. Our experts would mix the two elements to form the compound. The other one is a latex compound that comes already blended in a bag of powder. The user will just have to add water to activate the mixture. Our experts would generally use the second compound while levelling a floor for the first time, as it is much easier and quicker.
Why is self-levelling concrete so popular?
- As it is a polymer-modified cement, self-levelling concrete needs much less water than conventional concrete.
- It comes with excellent compressive character and strength that apply to concrete as well as other materials like wood, ceramics, and plywood.
- It is one of the more recent methods, and hence it is preferred over other conventional methods.
- It is a fast process that takes less time and manpower.
- It reduces damage to the floor and is a cost effective method.
Levelling of Timber Floor
When it comes to levelling timber floors, we use a unique timber frame levelling system that comes with a universal base plate as well as an interlocking packing pieces, all of which are fixed into the timber frame and the concrete. This method channels out the horizontal and vertical loads away from the wall into the foundations, levelling the floor and minimising the possibility of any irregularities of the floor in the future.
