If a person's house is constructed on a slab and he/she wants to refurbish the basement or garage, then he/she would have to pact with concrete floor. Most of the flooring materials can be mounted over concrete, including carpet, wood and tile. For achieving the best results, one will have to do the concrete floor leveling before fitting; this will avoid dunks, lumps and cracked tiles.

For concrete floor leveling, clean up the concrete floor first and then rub the floor with a scrapper or polish it with heavy grit paper. Vacuum it again to remove the dust. After this, move a casing square or a flat piece of wood on overall surface to check if there are spots, which are not in level. Mark these high or low spots with a marker or chalk. Get a concrete grinder on rent from a floor specialty shop or rental centre. On these shops, one can find the required tools, which could be needed in leveling process of concrete floor. For big bumps use a high grinder or give the contract of the work to a floor removal specialist. Both of the options are expensive but consume less time to do the work.

Open all exterior doors and windows and cover the doorframes, cabinets, furniture and other items and accessories in or near the concrete floor with tarps and sheets. Grind down higher areas by using concrete grinder up to its level then sweep and clean the surface of floor. Prepare a quick curing concrete floor leveling mixture according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Work with fewer amounts since the mixture solidifies rapidly. Now pour the mixture in small sections in front of the framing square or piece of flat lumber. Now pull the lumber over the compound. Wait for 20 to 30 minutes and then go over it with a trowel and dry wall taping knife.

The importance of being a self-leveler is that one can control or manage the height of the floor. The concrete floor leveling can also be stained or sealed. There are many products available for concrete floor leveling without having any retrenchment. The self-concrete floor- leveling product has solved the entire problem related with heights of floor. The self-leveling product is poured thin, little bit more than 1/4 inch. A gauge rake is used to drag the concrete up to the exact height.

These can also be painted if someone requires painting or coloring. The result of the concrete floor leveling, coloring or staining is a highly ornamental, stylish and low maintenance floor. One of the most exclusive features is the evaluation of wall color and lighting. This feature cannot be achieved from other flooring products and is complicated when working with decorative concrete. Generally, there are many defects in most of the decorative concrete floors after concrete floor leveling but these floors are mainly a thing of beauty. Any imperfection would not be apparent since 80% over the floor would be covered with tables, chairs and other things.
