    If I am going to put tile do I have to completely cover all the corners and sides? I ask you because I see in the video spaces that were left uncover. Thank you very much and have a nice day.

    I really like your videos and You inspired me to level my basement. I need to lift it 2.5” from the center, we did first layer 1.5” with aggregate clean pean gravel raked aggressively, of course primed first. How would you advise bast way to lay the second layer? Thanks

    • @MrYoucandoityourself
      @MrYoucandoityourself  4 роки тому

      I never use this material. Is this gravel with cement or just gravel?

    • @sargona.71
      @sargona.71 4 роки тому +1

      I used Mapei ultraplan 1 plus, I followed manufacturer direction precisely, they said that this can be used to lift up to 3.5”. After the first layer I now have about 400sq to level on a second layer to do in 15 minutes before the compound start to harden. How would you lay the second layer with deeper section in the middle.
      Thanks for your response

    wow great video! i was about to start installing my hardwood floor when my neighbor told me to check for gaps using the same tool your using in the vid and sure enough i found a few gaps, when he told me it was easy i was hesitant but so far I have done texture, paint, tile removal myself so why stop there, searching on youtube, see several different methods, great ones but looks like they have the crew to do it, this video was exactly what i was looking for and cant wait to get started, thanks again!

      MrYoucandoityourself thanks sir! just a quick question, before I move forward with this, i removed the tile adhesive, (what a pain) from my entrance, 4x4 give or take, and smoothed it out the best i could, but its not perfect, have you ever experienced any issues pouring the compund over a surface like mine or similar?

    Nice video, but I have a few questions. If you're going to do a large area at once (living room, dining area, hallway, closet, foyer, etc), how do you map out the area? How do you figure out the highs and lows as well as the highest point of the whole floor area? Where do you start? If you use self-leveling compound in one floor area, and you're going to do the whole house with the same tile, wouldn't you have to use it all through the rest of the house? How do you guarantee that all of the floors will end up being the same height? Thank you for your time.

    • @MrYoucandoityourself
      @MrYoucandoityourself  8 років тому

      I use laser to find low and high spots. High spots I grind off, loves fill up with self levelling compound.

      ​@@MrYoucandoityourself Good job. nNtural sound is lovely, and I didn't realize how important it is unless the natural sound is nothing but droning sounds of loud machinery. I have videos on my channel that cover the activity with music, but I felt like the activity had no useful sounds at all. I guess I should practice what i preach.

    If this is a DIY project and you haven't used a self leveling underlayment before I'd strongly recommend using an extended setting underlayment instead of the typical RS (rapid setting) sold at most hardware stores. You might pay more for the product but it will give you more time to work it, which is critical if you're a novice and especially important if don't have other people helping you.

    If I plan on using a grinder on the high spots and leveler on the low spots, which order should I do them in? I was thinking maybe use the grinder first so that the leveler will adhere better to the virgin surface?

    Excellent videos. Gave me the confidence to take on a bigger job in the house... out of curiosity, have you added extra liquid? I find that sometimes it sets off too quick or the material is too thick before I can get the pin roller in. I've used both latex and water based compounds.

      This type of leveling compound is listed as 'temporary traffic' only on the bags. This is designed to be covered. You probably want something else like an epoxy floor if you are looking for a finished floor.

    What is he using for a guide. Walls should be marked with a target to level to or you have to screed the whole distance at once. I self-leveled and when you do big entire areas you had better have a lot of leveler to pour all at once.

    A roller actually evens the floor out.
    If you ever want to get a wall perfectly even use a roller to apply the sheet rock mud to the wall.
    Roll more mud where the shadows are to make them disappear.

  • @bonjipoo
    @bonjipoo 7 років тому +1

    Also one major issue not mentioned here. There is a minimum thickness you should apply levelling compound. If you are literally scraping it across the floor less than 3mm thick it dries with no strength like egg shell and could come off; Particularly important if flooring needs adhering to the surface like LVT. This is the primary task in my job. We achieve flat, level smooth and strong latexed surfaces for the flooring industry using a surface laser level. Its literally the only way to do it properly.

    so if the middle peaked, and edges dipped, I can understand cutting level timber rails at the edges (cut to follow floor- (which takes some skill with a level, scribe and saw) but thats not whats happening or explaine here

      Correct. This method fills a dip but doesn't level over multiple dips. You need to level the entire floor with a coat 3mm higher than the highest point. We do this professionally. I appreciate this video but it's impractical.

    This video is informative but it only shows how to fill a void, not level a floor. To level a floor properly takes time, money and a lot of skill. You have to flood the entire floor at least 3mm higher than the highest point, using a stand up rake and trowel. Also, the primer should be applied using a broom, not roller. The roller won't get into cracks etc and the subfloor should be ground back to rough it up for substance e. g. paint to be removed and good primer bonding. Ardex is the best possible product, not Mapei. They're cheap but they don't offer a 10 year guarantee. Ardex are the only ones that do. Great gap filling though.

    Or you could invest in a floor surface laser level (Such as the Bosch GSL2) and do it properly. This is useless because if the floor is not level around the outside then the straight edge will follow that contour. A said already flat doesn't mean level.

    Hot tip, just get a good concretor. All this is then unnecessary.
    Cleaning prior to priming using a broom is useless unless you vacuum afterwards it leaves a lot of fine dust which the primer is then sitting on. Also with your priming, check with the manufacturer specs but with most by pouring it on the primer can go on too thick and delaminate from itself.

      "8' x 1" x 4" Kraft Magnesium Straight Edge" - on Amazon. You can find it in any tile store. Thanks for watching!

      Thanks... Quick question. When a concrete floor is uneven more than a inch can I still use the self leveling compound? Do you have like a video of how to level a floor like this? Thanks

    I'm watching this and, yeah, it's flat but it wasn't that far out to begin with. With tile, extra mortar would have taken up the slack. Carpet and hardwood/engineered flooring you wouldn't have noticed...well nothing a few very thin shims wouldn't have fixed. I'm guessing this is for the perfectionists out there. Or maybe lino, but if your using lino you're...frugal...yeah that's the term...so you wouldn't be spending money on flattening.
    You should see my basement. It's out 2 inches in places. That's too much for leveling compound so I'm wondering what the hell I'm going to do.

      Hi Croy,just make it flat, don't make it level because it's not important sometimes.

  • @Order-in-Chaos

    You're constantly picking two random points of the floor where the two screed edges land. Now unless your floor is perfectly level (which would defeat the purpose of this process) your finished screed work will follow those random points. Your chances of resulting in a leveled floor using this method are not good at all. It's like one in a million (so you're telling me there's a chance!)

    • @MrYoucandoityourself
      @MrYoucandoityourself  8 років тому

    • @Order-in-Chaos
      @Order-in-Chaos 8 років тому

      That's the same issue as in this video. You still screeding from two arbitrary points. you won't end up with a level surface.

  • @matthewgood4988
    @matthewgood4988 7 років тому +1

    this is shocking, you will not level anything just get rid of dips here and there. whats the point in putting tape 6 inch above the floor?youd be better of screeding the whole floor with a trowel throw that straight edge away its no good for self leveling screeds. floor layer 20 years experiance

    • @MrYoucandoityourself
      @MrYoucandoityourself  7 років тому +4

      It's a spiked roller, and self levelling concrete will self level before it dries anyway. The straigh edge is for spreading.
