Self-levelling compound on concrete | DIY floor guide
Self-levelling floor build-up 1 - Choose a different floor structure
1mm-5cm - concrete slab - levelling compound - absorbent substrates - non-moisture-sensitive floor coverings such as tiles
The Staenis Levelling Grid helps you set the self-levelling compound to an accurate height and distributes shrinkage stresses across smaller sections.
Information
With the EgalineGrid, you can easily level and reinforce uneven surfaces with a height between 1 mm and 5 cm (from 1 cm to 5 cm also possible with a bonded screed floor) .

Primer
Fast-drying dispersion primer for the pretreatment of tileable insulation screed/insulation mortar, screed, or concrete. Reinforces the top layer and ensures that the tile adhesive/levelling compound adheres better and dries less quickly on the absorbent substrate.
Purchase primerSelf-applied levelling compound
For self-applied levelling, choose a product suitable for the substrate, floor finish and layer thickness. Calculate the required quantity below. Staenis currently does not sell levelling compound.
Enter the screed thickness. Measure from the base on which the screed starts to the top of the screed.
Do not include flooring, adhesive or other layers above.
Enter the combined thickness of the insulating screed and screed. Measure from the base beneath the insulating screed to the top of the screed.
Do not include flooring, adhesive or other layers above.
Enter the thickness of the stabilised sand bed. Measure from the base beneath the sand bed to the top of the sand bed.
Do not include flooring, adhesive or other layers above.
Enter the drainage mortar thickness. Measure from the base beneath the drainage mortar to the top of the drainage mortar.
The screed used to smooth the surface is calculated separately. Do not add extra thickness for it; also exclude adhesive and tiles.
Do not include OSB in this thickness.
Enter the insulating screed thickness. Measure from the base on which the insulating screed starts to the top of the insulating screed.
Do not include OSB or other floor boards on top of the insulating screed. Any screed, adhesive and flooring above are also excluded from this measurement.
Enter the insulating screed thickness. Measure from the base on which the insulating screed starts to the top of the insulating screed.
Do not include the separately calculated levelling compound, adhesive or flooring above.
Do not include OSB in this thickness.
Enter the height of the dry fill in the grid. Measure from the base beneath the grid to the top of the filled grid.
Do not include OSB or other floor boards on top of the system. Underfloor heating, adhesive and flooring above are also excluded from this measurement.
Enter the thickness of the levelling compound layer. Measure from the surface to be levelled to the top of the levelling compound.
Do not include flooring, adhesive or other layers above.
Do not include OSB in this thickness.
Enter the adjusted system height. Measure from the surface supporting the feet or adjustment screws to the top of the supporting structure.
Do not include OSB or other floor boards on top of the system. Underfloor heating, adhesive and flooring above are also excluded from this measurement.
Do not include OSB in this thickness.
Enter the height of the CircoFloor system with fill. Measure from the base on which the adjusting screws stand to the top of the CircoFloor structure.
Do not include OSB or other floor boards on top of the system. Underfloor heating, adhesive and flooring above are also excluded from this measurement.
Measure from the base to the underside of the tile. The entered height includes CircoFloor and both pads: 3 mm below + 3 mm above. Do not include the tile itself.
Enter both the smallest and the largest distance to the underside of the tiles.
First select a filling material in the calculator to see its thickness explanation.
