Floor leveling suggestions

Macker

Hi Folks
I'm renovating my shed ,5X5 meters ,the floor is concrete that was put down in stages over the last 20 odd years , I want to get a nice finish on it , the problem is that its too shallow for a screed and I believe that floor leveler isn't suitable for a finished floor ,is there a paint or some other product that can go over floor leveler , the shed will only have footfall , a thread mill but I can put that on some ply if needed, there will be a couple of benches but they will be stationary, my plan is to keep the floor as clear as possible and use wall storage, its a shed at the end of the day but I don't mind spending on a decent finish if there is one.

no reason why you cannot use self leveler.the name says it all and it it hard when set, don't mix it too thin just pour on floor and give it a light run over with a trowel, use polybond [pva] to seal floor first, when leveler is set apply another coat of PVA to keep down dust.

Cheers , I was worried after reading a few reviews online that its not the finished job , Ive no problem taking my time in prep and finish

Would that stand up to trolly jacks,axel stands etc?

Would be constant abuse but project work.
Would love a smooth level floor in the garage.

e.r

Get some exterior grade leveling compound.
Like ardex - K301 or F ball - stopgap 850

Need to put minimum of 5mm

Both need a 1:7 dilution of their respective primers ardex p51 & fball p131

F ball have a sealer too stopgap sealer.

Thanks, any idea of the cost? I think Id need about 8 bags , coverage of about 23 meters

You’re looking at €30/40 per bag.

I’m sure there are cheaper versions available.
