Considerations When Using a Self-Leveling Floor Toppings

• Because these overlays are typically applied at thicknesses of 1/4 inch or greater, they are heavier than thinner overlays or toppings. Be sure the floor is structurally sound and can bear the extra weight of the overlay, especially if going over wood.
• Self-leveling overlays are less flexible after drying than microtoppings and spray-down systems, which can make them more prone to cracking.
