Self-Levelling Polished Concrete

Self-Levelling Polished Concrete is a self-levelling screed composed of white cement, selected aggregates, resin, and superplasticizers.

It is ideal for the rapid application of large surfaces where minimal shading effects are desired. It is applied in a thickness of 4 mm minimum to a maximum of 27 mm, offering a smooth and silky appearance with subtle effects.

Coverage: 25 kg = 3 m² at 4 mm thickness

Why Choose Self-Levelling Polished Concrete?

• • Ease of Application: Its self-levelling formula spreads evenly without manual smoothing, reducing application time.
• • Elegant Finish: The smooth texture delivers a modern touch to spaces such as living rooms, kitchens, or offices.
• • Enhanced Durability: Designed to resist impacts and wear, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Application

1. Mixing: Combine the powder with water using a 500 rpm electric mixer, gradually adding the powder to the water. Mix until homogeneous, then allow the mixture to rest so air bubbles can dissipate. Use a sieve to filter the mix, transferring it into another container to eliminate lumps.
2. Spreading: Apply the Self-Levelling Polished Concrete at 4 mm using a leveling bar.
3. Smoothing: After using a spiked roller and wearing spiked shoes, smooth the surface again with a Flemish trowel to erase traces and achieve a uniform finish. Glide the trowel over the surface without scraping the floor.
4. Continuity: To ensure a consistent finish and avoid joints between pours, quickly follow each pour with the next, overlapping slightly to level the surface.

Protection

• • For regular traffic, use Premium Concrete Varnish.
• • For high traffic or maximum protection, use Optimum Concrete Varnish.
• • To protect the varnish from abrasion, apply a wax finish.

Tips

• • Work in cool conditions and avoid drafts during drying for optimal results.
• • Avoid excess water, as Self-Levelling Polished Concrete is sensitive to it. Always measure the recommended water quantity precisely.
• • Respect existing expansion, fraction, and peripheral joints in the substrate or screed, particularly on heated floors.
• • Verify compatibility between the levelling screed, primers, and Self-Levelling Polished Concrete.
• • Round the bottom edges of external corners (pillars, right angles, etc.) to prevent cracking.
• • Place threshold bars at doorways to contain the pour.
• • Install a perimeter band to isolate the floor from the walls and protect woodwork with masking tape.
