Ratings & Reviews for Sika High Strength High-Flow Floor Leveler 50 Pound(s) Powder Indoor Self-leveling underlayment

I didn’t know how to explain this to the customer

I used the Sika not a long time before. Everything went fine. But last week- the Sika was drying 3 days! In laundry room in a basement on dry concrete floor. Thet's not all- I allways using methods described by manufacturer. Mesuring water, mixing time and such.. So, the prepared mixture separated into sand and liquid. There was no turnover after that (as there should have been). The sand remained where I poured it. and the liquid, after drying, turned white and smelled like chalk. It's like put...

It was priced at a good price. Makes a lot of dust

The product mixed up easy and the application was also easy.

Worked Perfectly

I'm a DIYer, never done anything like this in my life. We are renovating our shed which had a laughably unlevel and inconsistently unlevel floor. Cleaned it thoroughly, primed it, had five people as a crew to mix the next bag while I was pouring and leveling with a spiked roller and a trowel. Used exactly the same amount as written on the bag. I had to gently nudge the liquified mixture into corners, and would regularly check with a laser level. Totally worked. I put in my subflooring the day af...

Dont work

Not like

Good product for cost.

I'm a do it yourselfer so no great expertise with floor leveling products. However, I did a smaller room with Mapei and a much larger area with Sika. I think the Mapei was a little easier to work with and it left a nicer finish. The Sika did give a level surface and the cost was almost half so I would use it again.

brutal for diy'ers

it does the job described. however, if you havent already had experience working with self levelers, give this another thought. This is unforgiving stuff and very easy to screw up

Great

Easy to use, sets in good time

Not really self leveling

I am a pretty dang handy lay-construction guy. But, this was my first time using this product, so I'll acknowledge that I did not possess the artistic skills needed to make it right. However, it is NOT self-leveling. Even step 4 of the instructions says, "level". My floor is worse from having used this and my project will now take longer. Literally, my floor is less level. I suspect this product takes some real skill to actually level. I would not recommend it at all. If you haven't gotten to p...

Worse product ever used

Mixed the product to specs on the bag (1 gallon water per 50lb bag) in a standard bucket. Product hardened in bucket within 5 minutes of mixing and was unspreadable let alone self leveling within the time it took to carry the bucket from the garage to the bathroom floor. Would give zero stars if I could because now I’m out a $30 bag a $10 bucket and have to dispose of a 50lb solid weight somewhere.

Add one gallon of water to the entire bag.

Need to let is sit and still comes out gritty

Clumpy and doesn't flow well

Mixed per instructions with the exact water ratio very gritty product and found almost have to force it to flow. Reminds me of a Wendy's frosty. Now need to do another skim coat as have low spots 1/8" in areas. will go back to level quick, cost more a few dollars more but flows, mixes and pours so much better. Other rooms looked like glass. sika looks like the beach its flatish but gritty.
