Our concrete floor levelling process provides you with a flawless foundation for your flooring installation.
If you’re planning to have a floor coating applied or installing a new flooring system, one of the most important steps in the process is to level your concrete slab. Unfortunately, this step might get missed if you’re not working with the right team. At Volterra Surfaces, we understand the significance of this often-overlooked phase as it directly affects the durability, attractiveness, and safety of your final flooring surface.
Uneven concrete can cause a variety of problems. For instance, high and low spots can cause peeling, cracking, or premature wear of floor coatings. Even seemingly minor defects can cause gaps, rising edges, and instability. Concrete floor levelling provides a flat, even surface, laying the groundwork for a long-lasting, professional-looking finish—regardless of the flooring treatment you use.
So how does concrete floor levelling work? First, we carefully clean and examine the floor’s condition using specialized tools and instruments to detect high and low points on the surface. Depending on the severity, we may grind down high points and use a high-quality floor-levelling compound to fill in dips and uneven places. This compound flows evenly over the surface and dries to provide a solid, level base, making it perfect for coatings and floor installations.
Concrete floor levelling is more than just appearance—it’s also about performance. A correctly levelled floor enhances weight distribution, reduces wear, and eliminates trip hazards. It is also an important step in guaranteeing that your Kitchener, Ontario floor coating or new flooring system will last for many years.
