Floor Leveling Services Exclusive Process

Underlayment Materials are Only as Good as the Installers With the proliferation of "Self Leveling" floor underlayment manufacturing in recent years, it is no wonder that we are receiving more calls than ever for technical advice from contractors who decided to try leveling on their own, only to wind up with disastrous results. While some concrete floor leveling installations are within reach of contractors, most jobs of over 200 square feet are a different matter all together. The very chemical composition of self leveling underlayments which makes them strong and durable also make them difficult to install, primarily due to the catalyst drying technology which limits the initial working time of our concrete leveling products to about seven minutes.

Portland Cement Based - POLYMER TOPPING
Compressive Strength (Astm C/109/Mod.) COVALT 5000 psi (approximately) Uses Of Covalt Product: Leveling and resurfacing of most existing substrates, concrete, wood, tile, etc. Resurfacing, encapsulation of deteriorating lightweight, 2nd story and above subfloors. Covalt Water Resistance: Can withstand temporary cycles of wet and dry conditions without adversely affecting the performance of Covalt (Note: Covalt is not to be used in areas where frequent immersion in water is possible). Depth Of Installation From featheredge to any thickness in a single pour. In deep areas, aggregate may be added up to 1:1 volume to increase product coverage and reduce material costs. Fire Resistance When primary material used tested per ASTM E84, the results of flame spread, and smoke development were measured as zero. Accepted by building codes as non structural component in the system, product is approved for such use as the City of Los Angeles. Microbiological Activity Due to its formulation, product will not support the growth of molds or mildews. With the PH in the 11-13 range, COVALT presents an environment which is lethal to staph and strep virus. For this reason, COVALT is regularly specified in hospitals, medical centers and other health care facilities, in addition to commercial and other buildings. References Recommended and specified by major flooring manufacturers and installation companies. Material Costs Being a cement based product, COVALT of course, costs more than lightweight-based patches and floor fills. However, as the performance of lightweight products cannot be compared to the superior performance of COVALT Cementitious underlayments, they are not specified as comparable alternatives. Summary We agree that the lightweight products have a niche in the market place. These materials have been successful in residential projects, for example and especially in dry areas. However, when it comes to leveling and resurfacing in commercial, institutional, and industrial markets, COVALT of Southern California remains the industry leader and is specified by design professionals, architects, and engineers.
