We all require even surface floors at our houses, offices, corporate buildings, hospitals, schools, and so on. When it comes to having even-surface floor it’s really important to know about the quality of concrete used. This determines the durability and perfection of tiles as uneven flooring often lead the tiles to crack. Traditional concrete is more prone to damage, and requires us to add a lot of water, so it can be placed properly.

However, there is one way to prevent damage. That is by using self-leveling concrete.

A self leveling compound is a chemical mixture used to smooth uneven concrete or wooden floors. Self-leveling concrete is a cementitious mixture much like concrete. But unlike concrete, it flows easier and sets up much faster. The product is mixed with water, pumped or poured into place and spread evenly with a gauge rake. Once it's spread out, it continues to flow evenly and levels itself out. This saves time and effort, as well as the amount of water required for leveling. All-in-all a great alternative to traditional concrete.

Self-leveling concrete has increased in popularity as the degree of flatness and smoothness required for floor covering products has increased, with vinyl goods becoming thinner and floor tiles becoming larger. So we at MBT provide the best of the best in this category of products, in order to satisfy the needs of our clients.

It is polymer-modified cement that doesn't need the addition of large volumes of water for placement. It is used to create smooth flat surfaces with very high compressive strengths. It can be installed on the top of concrete, ceramic tile, VCT, Wood or Plywood or any non-flexible surface.
