How do you level a floor?

[#1]

A dedicated floor laser makes levelling any floor a super simple process. The Lasertec Floor Laser projects an accurate 360° horizontal laser line guide, and unlike standard lasers, the beam is projected only 8mm from the floor's surface. Combined with Lanko 20kg 173 Floor Leveller, perfectly level floors are a task anyone can achieve in their own home. - MitchellMc

One option is to use a self-levelling compound. Example video below… - MartyH

We need to level our laundry floor.  & then waterproof so we can then tile and do the rest.

However I cannot find anything specific enough to enlighten me as to how long you need to wait between self-levelling the floor and waterproofing.

Can anyone assist? We have the Dunlop level ready to use & the Crommelin waterproofing stuff ready also.  Primers for both and all the gear.  Just not wanting to jeopardise anything and also not wanting to have no laundry (4 kids) for longer than we need!

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @jen321. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about floor levellers.

Would you be able to link me to the exact product or take a picture of it? That way, I'll be able to confirm curing times. There are a couple of them, so I want to be sure I'm providing the correct advice.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @jen321 

So, we're going to use the Dunlop 4L Multipurpose Primer over your concrete (I presume it's concrete; let me know otherwise) and wait a couple of hours for it to dry. Next, apply the Dunlop 5kg Floor Leveller and give it a good 24 hours to cure. You'll then be able to apply the primer again, wait two hours, and apply your membrane.

Please let me know if you have further questions.
