Self-Leveling Cement Construction Process
The so-called Self-leveling Cement It is a slurry made by mixing cement and other processed materials with water, which then becomes a self-leveling paste that can flow on its own. This allows uneven floors to be quickly leveled. However, performing cement self-leveling is not as simple as it sounds; it is essential to understand the construction process. In addition, paying close attention to key precautions during cement self-leveling work is crucial. Only by fully grasping these aspects can the operation be carried out more effectively.
Cement self-leveling construction process:
1. Check the floor’s moisture content and ensure it is dry; check the floor’s levelness and confirm it is even; verify that the floor is free of cracks. Thoroughly clean the floor to remove all contaminants, such as paint, oil stains, coatings, and other residues. Then perform a comprehensive floor grinding.
2. Thoroughly vacuum up all dust. Apply the interface agent using a foam roller, diluting it with water at a ratio of 1:1; the recommended application rate is approximately 100–150 grams per square meter. After applying the interface agent, allow 1–3 hours for complete drying, ensuring adequate ventilation. Only then proceed with the self-leveling screed installation.
3. One 25-kg bag of Xindadi Commercial Self-Leveling Cement should be poured into a mixing bucket containing 6–6.5 kg of clean, cool water. Mix with a power drill equipped with a mixing paddle until a smooth, flowable mixture is obtained, ensuring that no lumps remain. Then promptly and evenly pour the mixture over the work area, spread it uniformly using a screed rake, and roll it with a roller to release any entrapped air. Arrange the workforce appropriately to ensure that each batch of mixed self-leveling cement is applied and finished within 15 minutes. Once the desired thickness in millimeters has been achieved, the self-leveling cement will be fully dry after approximately 24 hours; floor installation can then proceed 1–2 days later.
