Floor Prep Calculator
Calculate floor preparation costs including self-leveling compound, primer, underlayment, and labor costs for concrete, wood, or existing floors.
Step 1: Floor Area & Condition
Understanding Floor Prep Needs
Proper floor preparation is essential for successful flooring installation. Self-leveling compounds can correct unevenness up to 25mm depth. Poor conditions require more materials and labor.
Step 2: Materials & Costs
About Floor Prep Materials
A 25kg bag of self-leveling compound typically covers 2-3 sqm at 5mm depth. Primer improves adhesion and reduces porosity. Labor costs vary based on floor condition and preparation complexity.
