Floor Leveler On Wood Subfloor

Floor leveler is a self-leveling compound that is used to smooth out uneven surfaces and create a level base for flooring. It can be used on a variety of surfaces, including wood subfloors. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when using floor leveler on wood subfloors.

First, it is important to make sure that the subfloor is clean and dry. Any dirt or debris will prevent the floor leveler from adhering properly. Second, the subfloor should be level. If the subfloor is not level, the floor leveler will not be able to flow properly and may create bumps or hollows in the floor.

Once the subfloor is clean and dry, you can begin applying the floor leveler. The floor leveler should be mixed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the floor leveler is mixed, it should be poured onto the subfloor and spread out using a trowel. The floor leveler should be allowed to self-level for about 30 minutes. Once the floor leveler has self-leveled, it should be allowed to dry completely. The drying time will vary depending on the thickness of the floor leveler.

Once the floor leveler is dry, you can begin installing your flooring. The type of flooring that you can install will depend on the thickness of the floor leveler. If the floor leveler is thin, you may be able to install tile or vinyl flooring. If the floor leveler is thick, you may need to install hardwood flooring or laminate flooring.

Floor leveler is a great way to smooth out uneven surfaces and create a level base for flooring. However, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully when using floor leveler on wood subfloors. By following these instructions, you can ensure that your floor leveler will adhere properly and create a smooth, level surface for your flooring.
