so when it dries the floor will automatically be even? Also, does it matter WHERE you start pouring? i didn't really understand what the purpose of the nails was or how it helped with the pouring? Thanks !
Wonderful videos. How do you consider the next room's floor level if you have to add the additional level via this method? Do you have a video for how to work out perfect floor transitions between bathroom and bedroom? Thanks so much.
That’s the toughest part of a renovating…almost never a perfect transition. Especially if it’s an old home. Anything under an inch is acceptable IMO. Going above that can be a tripper. When that might happen tougher decisions need to be made. All depends how far you want to go 👍
In my country we dont make bathroom floors flat. We have regulations telling us to make a slope towards The drain so its a bit harder to get it right..
I made a mistake and didn’t buy enough leveller and pour two bags out already. Floor is half covered right now. Can prime what I have done tomorrow and continue with pouring over top or am I screwed?
I did this and didn't end up with a perfectly level floor for a few reasons. This stuff has a little learning curve with it. I'm planning on using small mosaic penny tiles. Should I address the low spots w feather finish? Or is it possible to pour another bag a self leveler? If so, what is the proper primer?
Get a professional with a good reputation to do this job. I tried SLC (self leveling compound from Mapie) & ended up with a more un-flat floor than before I started. I didn’t use the screw depth method, shame on me. Bottom line, if it’s DIY PROJECT, skip stone, porcelain, ceramic etc & stick with vinyl flooring.
Please stop using foam, everyone does this, use the right product. The product is Uzin Foam Expansion Strip 3/16" X 2" 65Lf Self-adhesive polyethelene expansion strips used when pouring leveling compounds. Suitable for mechanical separation between floor and wall, installed prior to the application of leveling compounds.
another tip. Do not mix on the heat wire. The bucket could spin during mixing and actually damage or cut the heat wire, I have seen it happen. Not good
Great tip for a bucket extension Steve. For the longest time I looked and looked aaaaaaand looked for a larger bucket but no success. And finally two weeks ago found ideal 7gal bucket, bit the bullet and purchased it. Cost??? $38 Good times. 😬
I just recently used a floor leveler on a kitchen floor that had a 3/4" difference. I used a spiked roller and it worked real well in breaking up the tension and leveling the product. Really appreciate all your informative videos in promoting quality work in our trade.
Awesome. Yeah a spike roller is awesome. One thing I have not purchased yet. And I bet you went through some leveler going 3/4” 😆 i did a kitchen once that was an 1”. Cost more than the tile to do
Really appreciate your videos but I’m having a hard time trying to find the correct advice on how to waterproof my upstairs restroom before installing LVP? Any and all advice is appreciated! Floor is already leveled and prepped.
I’m not exactly sure, I’m guessing its a fairly cheap leveler? Maybe it doesn’t have the strength or adhesion quality that the better ones do? Kind of like you can’t just spread a 4-1 sand mix right over a wood subfloor, you need metal lathe to mechanically bond
Is it possible to level a floor with this self leveling compound but when finished not do tile over the top? My goal is to do a "monopour" and then stamp, stain (with powders) and then seal. I want to do a curbless shower with a redi tile shower pan so that my monopour will be the same in the shower and on the outside. Does this sound possible? Thanks in advance if you git back to me.
@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher Monopour is if I mixed my thin set all up at once, like it a trash can, then poured the whole bathroom floor at once rather than stop and go while my first pour is setting, also getting rid of the mess of working over myself. I would have glass on the shower head side, walk in (curbless) on the other side. I'd roll a sealer on the whole bathroom osb floor before I pour. My question is mainly asking, can I use a thin set as a shower floor, with no tile over it?
