How to self level a concrete floor in 2023. This concrete floor was poured one inch out of level. The builders needed the concrete floor to be leveled in order to install the flooring.
We used Mapei PlaniLevel 360 self-leveling underlayment concrete to do the job.
The floor space was 1800 square feet and we estimated it was about one inch out of level. We figured to go 1/8" thick over the highest point which meant some of the lower areas would be 1 inch thick to level the floor.
The average thickness was hard to determine but we figured about an average of 1/2" to 5/8" thick for the entire area.

We ordered 166 bags of self leveler from New Jersey Decorative Concrete supply. https://njdecorativeconcretesupply.com/
The shipping was fast and they were great to work with!

We were supposed to use Collomix's LevMix mixer to mix the bags and apply to the floor but had a delay in shipping and it didn't show up in time. Instead we used Collomix X04 hand held mixers and they worked great!

The video shows how we did the prep for the self leveling compound and the method we used to make sure the self leveler was level as we poured it out on the concrete floor.
