About Self Leveling Topping
Over the years, even the best placed concrete floors can crack or break. The older a concrete floor is, the more likely it is to break. That’s because concrete that was poured years ago didn’t have exact measures and was mixed by hand. Some of your older concrete floors may have more water and less cement than they should. Also, the ground underneath your concrete floors might have shifted, which could cause the contract to crack or break.
When your concrete floors aren’t even, or they are broken, you can order self leveling topping. As opposed to traditional concrete, self leveling concrete doesn’t take a contractor to level it. It is more porous than traditional concrete, so it can flow to any areas of your concrete floor that are not straight, level or even. It can also smooth over cracks or breaks in your floors. Best of all, self leveling concrete dries more quickly than with regular concrete. Instead of taking days to dry, self leveling floor topping takes hours. If you want to save money on your insurance rates, you may want to request gypcrete as your floor topping. It is a sound buffer, so your floors in a multistory house, apartment or commercial building will trap sound more efficiently. Gypcrete is also fire retardant, so you can save money on your residential or commercial insurance.
