*In this video, I give you lots of answers to your questions about a different kind of concrete floor leveling compound from Mapei. Hope the experiments, you'll see, help you a lot in your projects!*
@@eate2524 I used Sika ones, very sensitive to water. Just use exactly what they recommend or material will separating ingredients and you will waste your money. Thanks!
@@eate2524 What city you are living in?
Pro tip: you can watch series on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies lately.
@Benton Neil Definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :D
Thanks for the comparison. It was very helpful even as someone who has used self leveller plenty of times. I've mostly used novaplan 2.
Hi, I am using Novoplan 2 as well. You’re welcome!
Another great video. I thank you for all the information you have provided on this topic as it has helped me tremendously in leveling my floor.
Hi Robert, thank for your wonderful comment!
Thank you very much for making this video! So for a DIY first time user, one bag of Nova Plus 2 mixed with 6 liters of water would be my best choice and allow me more time to work the material?
Glad it was helpful!
Anyone notice the bags are upside down. It doesn’t take away from the video, just an observational viewpoint.
I guess it’s not the make a trouble identifying the material. Sorry
Thank you for the great video.
I have a small plywood floor in my bathroom, I need to level.
Which product is THE BEST?
I'm not looking for fast drying time.
Just the best product.
Thanks!
I can recommend only Mapei, because I am using it for a long time. Thanks
@@MrYoucandoityourself thanks for the prompt response!
What I'm asking about nova plan vs self leveler ...which Mapai product is best in your opinion for a plywood subfloor?
There is quite a price difference. between the 2 products.
For wood subfloor use primer T, buy the cheapest, not big difference.
@@MrYoucandoityourself Thank you, my friend.
Thanks too!
which one would you prefer to use on 3/4 OSB subfloor with less than 1/2 inch low spots for best results ?
This is a similar products, just use right primer T.
Hi, I watched a lot of your self levelling videos and used the product you show, mine went well, but this year a couple of months ago I did my sons workshop and it has not hardened and easily flakes away, I am considering to contact mapie for them to take a sample, as I did everything as manufacturer's recommendation.
Any reason why this has happened not, gone off , hardened please
Hi, thanks for watching my videos. It’s can happen if you doing leveling in cold area or outside of the house or apartment, in a garage or workshop if it’s not wormed properly. Once I did leveling on a garage on March. Was cold outside and compound not dryers properly during few days and after was flakes away.
Hi there
I have to cover 250 sq feet, can I pour the compound on myself? I am worry I won’t be too fast in mixing and pouring I am planning to use the maipei self levelling plus. Thanks a lot
Hi Luciano, yes you can do it. In summer time compound settling faster. Around 30 minutes. You can use barrel and mix 2-3 bags in one time. I don’t know how many bags you have to put one, but for 15 bags you need 5 times mixing - around 20-25 min and then roll it out. I have many videos how to do it. Thanks
@@MrYoucandoityourself hi Alex thanks for the quick response that is exactly what I planned for about 15 bags, so I understand I have enough time to mix 3 bags at the time between the pours. Also I have only the spike roller should I get a rake as well or just the roller is fine?
Need rake as well.
Thanks really useful video. I noticed that many self levellers are flexible so that you can use them over plywood floors. I want to use self leveller over a concrete subfloor though, so should I choose a non-flexible kind of leveller? I don't want the floor to be flexing and moving when I walk on it, the leveller will be quite deep at one end 40mm.
All projects are different. I have to see what you want and then give you recommendations. Thanks!
Very good video thank you i will be try to level old wood floor to make new level , one side is 20mm low and 4m long , hard to find good level, will try thank you
Good luck with your project!
@@MrYoucandoityourself thank you at least now i have a good idea where to start and what to expect, thank you again
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Well the project is done and i broke 2 electric drills trying to mix the cement, and i had to mix the last 1/2 bag by hand as it was only a small job but it turned out perfect, i added a tiny extra water to each mix, now i wait for it to cure and epoxy over it, with primer first , thanky you once again for you very good video.
Hi ! Love your videos and very informative. I have a depression in the middle of an otherwise fairly level concrete basement slab. Will be installing eng. flooring. Do you think self level plus is okay to use if i need to go from 5/16” in the middle of the patch to feathering it out to 0” ( join the existing high spots all around ) ? Thank you so much !
Yes, it is a very good material.
Exelentes video del producto lo usaré el República Dominicana
Thanks!
Very nicely presented video and very informative. Thanks!
Thanks for your comment!
Thank you for all your videos. Do you need primer on top of a prior layer of self leveling compound?
Yes, for each layer.
@@MrYoucandoityourself thank you kind sir
@@brianvotruong You are welcome!
Очень интересное видео! Спасибо за подробное разъяснение.
Great, thanks!
Can I use a bag of mapei self leveler plus with a primer from Tec skill primer brand.
Good question, I never mixed different brands. For your protection use recommend primer, please. Thanks!
Interesting how they dry to the same color, as SelfLev+ is darker than the Novo when powder....BUT, which one of these or OTHER product can we use as a FINISHED floor...maybe even do a polish on it after pouring and curing? Also, maybe one we can add some pigment color to trowel into and give a more trowel concrete look vs a painted look?
I guess, for polishing better SL+. More harder material. You can have a look also on Ardex. They specialize for epoxy surface preparation material.
This materials can be use for exterior? Back yard porch
Call to Mapei, please. Thanks
hello - mapei says to use an eggbeater style paddle, which one is better, the spiral or the boxy looking eggbeater for keeping less air bubbles in.
Hi Ron, I am using for bucket 4 directions small square mixer, for barrel big 2 directions mixer. Eggbeater stile only good for wall patch and for tile mortars. Thanks!
I am very excited reading about bubbles. How the bubbles can affect the level of the subfloor. I f you have a bubbles you removing it with spike roller. Also bubbles coming from subfloor if you don’t put primer properly. If bubbles coming when you level surface it’s means you not locked with primer surface and water can absorbing into.
Maybe you could pick up the pieces and break it to see which one is stronger:)
Good idea. You can try.
Can you mix both kinds of leveler? The company is closed this weekend. I use 10 bags of the plus 2. But, lowes has the plus leveler. Can we use that? And same L primer?
I used it together. It’s working. Thanks
Would a PVA/bondcrete/primmer over the top, after drying, fix the problem of to much water?
Hi Andrey, I see few times how guys did it for fixing softened top of compound. Sometimes it’s possible but it’s only your responsibility.
Do we have to have put primer when using self levelling compound? Some compound don’t needed primer am I wright or wrong!!!!
I am using Mapei, this products require always use primer. About other products I would recommend read instructions before use it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
As per data sheet they look exactely the same! It must be the same powder! self-leveler plus is a Lowes (Rona here in Quebec Canada) version of the noovaplan 2 sold in professional tiler retailer!
Hi, it’s not the same. Self leveller - it’s premium grade.
Do i need to use primer over basement asbestos tiles prior to using quick level cement? if primer is needed, what is the best primer and best quick level cement to use? Some of the tiles are missing or starting to raise up. will the quick level encapsulate them? thanks!
I would recommend remove this tiles first, smoothly grinding surface , put primer and then level it.
MrYoucandoityourself thank you. My contractor say no primer needed. Just put quick level. I cant explain it to him because i dont know how to explain in spanish. Does anyone speak spanish and can explain to him why we need to prime?
I can speak Russian as well. :-)
Maria, I can’t tell for other contractors what they have to do, my videos only for your knowledge. Any project is different. Sorry.
@@mariamanago4126 Typically you need a primer for the bond. However, if the self leveling product has an integral bonding agent in it, a primer may not be needed. The purpose of the primer is to act as a bonding agent between the existing substrate and the new self leveling compound, to the best of my knowledge. I don't know enough about the many different products on the market, so I am not sure if there is a self leveling product with a bonding agent already pre-mixed. Spanish: Por lo general, necesita una imprimación para el enlace. Sin embargo, si el producto autonivelante tiene un agente de unión integral, es posible que no se necesite una imprimación. El propósito de la imprimación es actuar como un agente de unión entre el sustrato existente y el nuevo compuesto autonivelante, a mi leal saber y entender. No sé lo suficiente sobre los muchos productos diferentes en el mercado, por lo que no estoy seguro de si hay un producto autonivelante con un agente de unión ya premezclado.
Can you tell me how to do leveling on plywood Deck before waterproofing membrane
We want to do waterproof our Deck with Graniflex resurfacing sistem
Thank you in advance
I don’t know your situation and never levelled deck. Sorry.
Very professional work
Thank you!
To anyone watching this video, Please do not add more than 500 ml or 1/2 liter than what's recommended because you're messing with the formula. If they wanted you to add more water to it it would say it on the label.
Also, 1 extra liter is an additional 20% extra than what's recommended, that is too much for any formula to deviate from the recommended mix. Also this will increase chances of failure or potential for trouble spots because if the floor is too deep on one side the water ratio will be messed up and you will experience spot failures that can lead to full-on failure.
if you want to push the limits the most you should go is 10% which is half a liter. In general regardless of what the mix is extra10% percent is pretty tolerated as opposed to 20%.... Use logic!
And yes I'm a professional licensed installer of flooring and leveling
Hi Adis, thanks for you comment!
Could you do a water submersion test with those samples to see which maintain strength if there were a flood or something?
I would like to know if the tests with higher water content would fail if the floor was flooded.
Hi Spencer, it's too late already. But from my experience, this material not separated after water flooded because has a lot of polymer components. Thanks!
I have a wood subfloor I'm using the L primer with the Nova 2. Can i use the plus leveler also?
HiTommy, yes, you can use it too. No problem. Thanks
@@MrYoucandoityourself great. I just applied the nova plus 2. But, didn't get enough, and the place where we get it is closed. But, lowes has the leveler plus. Last question, do i need primer over top of nova plus 2? And when can applied after coats?
Each new coats need apply primer. Between each coating needs at least 12 hours break. Thanks!
@@MrYoucandoityourself I got it all done. 13 bags in total. It turned out great. Thanks for quick reply
hi the novoplan 2 plus is not available here in Florida only the plus version at lowes do you think i be ok to use that with more water instead of the novoplan? Thanks!!
Hi, self leveller plus, is the same material like Novoplan two plus, with better quality. You can add more water, try with small amount first. Thanks
good job as always. thanks
You are welcome!
Does it make any difference if the water is warm?
Absolutely YES! With hot water dry very very fast.I am going to do video about it.
Can I put primer on top of Vinyl glue? Then put Mapei Novoplan 2 Self-Leveler.
You have to remove glue first.
You're the best!
Thanks!
Is it possible to pour up a 5meter by 4meter room in sections? I mean using this foam to separate the room into 2 or 3 larger sections and pour them up individually starting with one and wait until it sets then continue to pour up the next one. Is it a stupid idea?
For this small place I would recommend to level it in one shot. Thanks.
@@MrYoucandoityourself thank you so much for your reply. One more question please! If I'm working on the full house including kitchen and hallway. Do I have to do it all with one go or can I section up the rooms and do the living room first then kitchen later? Or would you recommend to go all at once please?
Добрый день подскажите пожалуйста что лучше Novoplan 2 plus или easy plus. Заранее благодарю
Привет, это идентичные материалы, второй мелкодисперсный и больше полимеров, растекается красивее. Для выравнивания выбирай что дешевле из этих двух.
Примного благодарен!!! А Novoplan easy plus как долго застывает?

How can I order some of those tri pods
Hi George, leveling tripods you can find here - bit.ly/2uVCPfX
Can you mix them both together?
Yes, I did it. No problem.
Is there a general rule of thumb for all floor leveller brands regarding how much extra water can be added to make the leveller more liquid if there will be no gluing to the cured surface? 10% or even 20%? What do you advice? So far the 5-50mm leveller is too slow in the floating.
I can't recommend you add more water to SLC, each brand of SLC has different components and you never know how it will work when you add more water. For example, once I used Sika SLC with more water, all hard components settle down, and the top was very soft I removed all 10 bags of SLC and put Mapei SLC. This is my experience.
Thanks for all the videos on self levelling floors, they are really great. The Novoplan 2 with 6L water per 50lb bag mix looks very soft, and scratches easily in the video. How much water do you use when you use Novoplan 2? Do you still use 6L, or maybe a bit less - like 5.5 L? Thanks!
How much bag of novoplan it i want to level up my 16 ft x 10 ft bedroom floor ? Around 3mm thickness
One bag covered 25 sf by 6 mm, for your area 160/25= 6.5 bags for 6 mm, for 3mm you need around 3-4 bags.
Is the self leveler plus the same as ultraplan? I have never seen self leveler plus,where I live. I use novaplan easy,most of the time.
Hi Dean, yes, you are right, it's premium quality material, dried faster, more smooth and solid. Time for work very short. Thanks!
Where is the link to order the tripods?
Leveling Tripods - bit.ly/2uVCPfX
i used spray foam over cement floor to provide insulation
i would like to use a mapei self leveller, perhaps with a stucco mesh to provide extra surface tension strength, to self level the foam and provide a good base for tiles
which mapei product do you recommend?
Hi,I have to see what you did, before give it to you any suggestion. Sorry.
Олег, спасибо за обнародованный эксперимент. Вы человек творческий. Скажите пожалуйста не пробовали ли вы добавлять фибру в SL + ? Очень интересует результат. С уважением К.
Костя привет, не пробовал, с точки зрения улучшения жесткости - идея хорошая, видел видео как в обычный цемент добавляют. Если бы знал где купить то попробовал, особенно для soft concrete in the wood apartment building. Если знаешь кто продаётся, дай идею я у себя поищу.
Very important video. I really appreciate it 🙏. Thanks boss
My pleasure!
Great test, the only thing I could add would be to measure a standard volume of self leveller and place it centrally to see the ease with which it levels out naturally …
… and I hope the wife leant beat you too bunch for wrecking her scales and mixer … 😂😂😂
A-ha-ha! About standard volume is very good point. Thanks!
Great video, great idea!
Thanks!
Олег, спасибо а видео очень информативно! Не подскажите если "Novoplan Easy Plus" также хорош как и "Novoplan 2 plus", и можно ли его разбавлять 6 литрами воды на мешок, вместо рекомендованных 5 литров? K сожалению у нас в магазинах только "Novoplan Easy Plus".
Привет, попробуй эмпирическим путём. Я делаю просто - одно ведро на 5 галонов замешиваю с 3 мешками . С Мапеем можно експкрементировать, с другими смесями не рекомендую. Я же объяснял в этом видео.
@@MrYoucandoityourself ок, спасибо
Напиши потом, как получилось.
@@MrYoucandoityourself залил нормально через 3 дня появились еле заметные трещины, ето плохо?

I can't find the followup video to this one
What do you need to know more?
@@MrYoucandoityourself I thought you were going to show how strong the finished products were. I would like to know if the products are stronger or weaker if you mix more or less water than recommended. Also do you have any demonstrations for Planipatch?
So if we had no choice but to mix the self leveller in parts...what is the ratio
Sorry, don’t understand your question.
Thank you Sir :D
Thanks for watching!
Que primer utilizas
This is a similar products. No any preferences, just price.
👍👍😊
Thanks!
@@MrYoucandoityourself 😊
Кароч,если я в одну харю буду заливать 700-800 sq.ft,то SL+ не использовать и добавлять воды чуть больше,чтоб всё успеть.
Привет Гарри, это утверждение или вопрос?
Просто позвони в службу поддержки мапэй и узнай что один и тот же продукт.
Тот, да не тот, это похоже на Easy Plus. Я показал это сравнение для того, чтобы понимали, если делаешь выравнивание с Leveler Plus - время не очень много и этот материал более густой.
Мне Марей, больше всего нравиться. Они постоянно работают над улучшением формулы продуктов и праймеры великолепные.
