Install Self Leveling Floors
A self-leveling floor is an epoxy-based floor that levels itself as the epoxy settles. Since the epoxy liquid seeks to level itself, the installation process is as simple as pouring the liquid out of the bucket, and spreading it across the concrete surface. The installation of the self-leveling floor takes a relatively short period of time, but the floor itself does require a drying period before you can use it.
Instructions
1. Sweep and vacuum the floor to remove all impurities and dirt from the floor.
2. Open the bucket of the self-leveling flooring. Begin in the far corner of the room you are working in, and carefully pour it out toward the exit of the room. Use only one bucket at a time.
3. Squeegee the flooring fluid across the floor. Always make sure that you are leaving yourself an escape route; you do not want to be painted into a corner. Allow the epoxy flooring to sit and dry. Gravity will cause the floor to self-level.
