Self-levelling concrete is useful for correcting small imperfections in floors, but it is not suitable for every flooring project. Incorrect use can lead to cracking, weak surfaces or failure of the final floor finish.
When large height corrections are needed
Levelling compounds are designed for thin applications. Where a floor needs substantial build-up, traditional screed or liquid screed is normally required.
When the subfloor is not stable
Self-levelling materials depend on a well-prepared base. They should not be used on contaminated, cracked or unstable surfaces.
When moisture is excessive
Moisture can prevent proper curing and cause levelling layers to debond.
When floors must support heavy loads
Garages, workshops and commercial floors often require stronger screed systems rather than thin levelling layers.
