What is the difference between the two kinds of self-leveling floors?

For decoration, ground treatment is very important. Generally, people will choose cement self-leveling or gypsum self-leveling as the ground leveling material. What is the difference between the two kinds of self-leveling floors? Now let's have a look.

1、 Different strength

Self-leveling of cement: the hardness is very high, but the strength is not very high. It can be used normally only after secondary processing, but it will not leave traces, which can solve various problems on the ground.

Gypsum self-leveling: its strength is 1.5-2 times that of ordinary cement foundation, which can play a very good role in protecting the ground. It will leave a concave-convex feeling during construction, which is convenient for cleaning.

2、 Different materials are required

Self-leveling: cement, gypsum and other materials are required.

Gypsum self-leveling: high-strength gypsum, aggregate and various building chemical additives.

3、 Different service life

Self-leveling of cement: generally, about 25 years.

Gypsum self-leveling: the service life can reach about 20 years.

4、 Different construction processes

Self-leveling of cement: base course inspection → pullout inspection → base course cleaning → mechanical polishing → filling and repairing → vacuum cleaning → brushing interface agent → snapping lines and boundaries → sealing boundaries → mortar mixing → pumping construction → finished product curing → sealing → joint cutting → sub-item acceptance

Gypsum self-leveling: plugging work → base treatment → environment → application of interface agent → mixing → pouring → curing

5、 Different prices

Cement self-leveling: 20-50 yuan/square meter, construction is relatively simple.

Gypsum self-leveling: 18-30 yuan/square meter.

6、 Different applications

Cement self-leveling: it can be used in industrial plants, workshops, warehouses, commercial stores, exhibition halls, gymnasiums, hospitals, various open spaces, offices, etc., and also in homes, villas, warm small spaces, etc. It can be used as a decorative surface layer, and also as a wear-resistant base.

Gypsum self-leveling: the leveling of the base course of ground works such as family, office, hotel, school, hospital, small exhibition hall, light industrial floor, is very suitable for leveling on the ground heating base course.

The above is the difference between cement self-leveling and gypsum self-leveling and the price. I hope it will help those who want to know the two.
