Nothing a bit of self leveller won't fix... To be honest, this is flatter than the kitchen slab and that's got vinyl on it just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chanmenie Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I had 100mm fibre reinforced self compacting concrete and that’s perfectly flat and level. It’s poured like a screed so self levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamJones Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 My concern now with just the concrete is how easy it’ll be to get level enough. Screed obviously solves that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HughF Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Best photo I have, but you can see it went down nice and flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chanmenie Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Yeah mine was fine aggregate, max 10mm they sprayed a curing agent over the top to stop it drying out too quick Edited September 3, 2023 by Chanmenie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
