The go-to rapid self-leveler for getting a subfloor flat before tile. Its speed is the whole point and also the main trap, prime everything and mix small batches or the short pot life will bite you.

Pros

  • Rapid-set formula lets you tile the same day, walkable in 4 hours and tile-ready in 12-16 hours
  • Pourable and self-seeking, no troweling, so a first-timer can flatten a floor faster than patching by hand
  • 4,300 psi compressive strength gives a solid base under large-format porcelain that would rock on a wavy subfloor

Cons

  • Fast working time (about 20 minutes) is unforgiving, you must mix and pour in small batches or it sets in the bucket
  • Requires a primer coat on both concrete and wood or it flash-dries, blisters and delaminates
  • Needs perimeter dams and crack/expansion sealing first, or it self-levels itself right down through gaps
