What Is It?

The Science of a
Perfectly Flat Floor

Self-leveling concrete is a polymer-modified compound that flows and spreads under its own weight to create an ultra-smooth, level surface. It's the professional solution for fixing uneven, cracked, or sloped subfloors before any final flooring is installed.

Flows and self-spreads to fill low spots and dips without manual screeding
Can be applied over concrete, wood, tile, and most existing subfloor types
Walk-ready within hours; final flooring can be installed in as little as 24 hours
Creates the ideal foundation for hardwood, LVP, tile, epoxy, and carpet
Prevents cracking, warping, and premature wear in your finished flooring
Where We Apply It

Built for Every Space

Self-leveling solutions work in virtually any residential or commercial setting.

01

Residential Homes

Fix settling, sloping, or uneven subfloors throughout your home before installing hardwood, LVP, or tile — especially common in older Vancouver homes and renovations.

02

Condos & Apartments

Precision self-leveling for strata and condo units where floor height tolerances are tight and noise-minimizing installation techniques are essential.

03

Commercial & Retail Spaces

High-volume commercial floors that need a perfectly flat, load-bearing base for large-format tile, polished concrete, or commercial vinyl systems.

04

Basement & Below-Grade

Moisture-resistant self-leveling compounds engineered for below-grade applications, preparing basement slabs for finished living spaces.

05

Kitchen & Bathroom

Precise leveling in wet areas where tile installation demands a flat, stable substrate to prevent grout cracking and tile lippage over time.

06

Warehouses & Industrial

Heavy-duty self-leveling overlays for warehouse and industrial floors that need flatness for racking systems, heavy equipment, and forklift traffic.

Types of Systems

Choosing the Right Compound

We select the ideal self-leveling system based on your subfloor, depth requirements, and final flooring type.

Calcium Aluminate (Fast-Set)

High-strength compound with rapid cure times — ideal for commercial projects and renovations with tight timelines. Achieves full strength in as little as 4 hours.

Fast-Cure · High Traffic

Gypsum-Based Underlayment

Lightweight, acoustically superior, and cost-effective — perfect for multi-level residential and condo floors where sound transmission is a concern.

Acoustic · Residential

Portland Cement-Based

The most versatile self-leveling system, suitable for thick builds (up to 50mm) and irregular subfloors. Works over both concrete and wood substrates.

Versatile · Deep Fills

Moisture-Tolerant Systems

Specially formulated compounds designed for damp or below-grade slabs in Vancouver's wet climate — preventing moisture-related adhesion failure.

Basements · Wet Areas
How We Work

Our Installation Process

Every job follows our proven 5-step method — ensuring a flawless result with zero surprises.

1

Free On-Site Assessment

Our team visits your property to measure floor flatness, assess the subfloor condition, identify moisture levels, and determine the correct compound depth and system needed.

2

Subfloor Preparation

All cracks, control joints, and edges are sealed. The subfloor is cleaned, primed, and any loose material or contamination is removed to ensure proper adhesion of the leveling compound.

3

Precision Mixing & Pouring

The compound is machine-mixed to exact ratios and poured systematically across the floor. We work in controlled sections to ensure even distribution and eliminate air pockets.

4

Spreading & Gauging

Using professional gauged rakes and spiked rollers, the compound is guided into low spots and spread to the required depth — then left to self-level under gravity.

5

Cure, Inspect & Ready for Flooring

Once cured, we perform a flatness check and confirm the surface meets installation tolerances. Your floor is then ready for any chosen finish — hardwood, LVP, tile, or epoxy.

How thick can self-leveling compound be applied? +
Most standard self-leveling products can be applied between 3mm and 50mm in a single pour, depending on the product system chosen. For deeper fills, we use a Portland cement-based product with aggregate extension. We assess your specific floor during our free site visit and recommend the right approach.
How long before I can walk on the floor? +
Most fast-set compounds are foot-traffic-ready within 2–4 hours. Standard compounds are typically walkable in 6–8 hours. Final flooring installation is usually possible within 16–24 hours. We'll give you a clear cure schedule specific to the product used in your project.
Can self-leveling compound go over existing tile or hardwood? +
Yes — in many cases, self-leveling compound can be applied directly over firmly bonded existing tile or hardwood, saving significant demolition time and cost. Loose, damaged, or contaminated surfaces must be addressed first. Our team evaluates this during the site assessment at no charge.
Is self-leveling compound suitable for radiant-heat floors? +
Absolutely. Self-leveling compounds are widely used in conjunction with in-floor radiant heating systems. We use products specifically compatible with embedded heating elements and follow manufacturer protocols to ensure long-term performance.
What areas in Metro Vancouver do you serve? +
We serve all of Metro Vancouver including Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Langley, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, and Delta. Contact us to confirm availability for your specific location.
Does self-leveling work on wood subfloors? +
Yes. Wood subfloors require a flexible primer and, in some cases, a fibre-reinforced compound to accommodate slight movement. All joints and gaps in the wood must be sealed before pouring. Our team prepares wood substrates thoroughly to ensure strong adhesion and a crack-free result.
