Self-Leveling Concrete: An Innovative Flooring Solution
What is Self-Leveling Concrete?Self-leveling concrete, also known as self-draining, self-smoothing, or self-compacting concrete, is a special fluid mixture of cement, fine aggregate, water, and admixtures that is self-leveling. It flows easily to level itself and fill uneven or irregular surfaces without the need for mechanical vibration, screeding, or trowelling. This allows it to reach a flat and level finish regardless of the surface profile or contours beneath it. Composition and PropertiesA typical Self Leveling Concrete mix includes ordinary Portland cement, fine aggregates like sand, water, plasticizers or water-reducing admixtures, and special retarders. The plasticizers allow for a high slump and flowable consistency while retarders control the initial setting time to provide sufficient working time.
