Floor looks good, I like the look. Butttt why in the world didn't you pull the baseboards up, do your concrete floor and then put the base back in? Way better finished look.
never thought of using a blower to help even out a self leveler, Ill try it next time to see how it works. I use the wire roller from Rapid Set after gauge raking and it does a really good job of leveling off any high spots and release any entrapped air but will leave an orange peel type finish which I dont like. I like your idea of mixing the two separate colored batches to get a mottled look.

It was nice you left a little gift for the future owner by not taking out the cabinet. Oh honey look they just poured around this now we have a hole in our floor.
Agreed - this is a sloppy install in that sense, only done for the current homeowner with no notion of future re-sale value. Anyone who buys this home in the future and decides to renovate will have a nightmare on their hands ... the baseboards and the cabinetry are below-grade. So you can’t replace them easily. And if you do rip them out, you now have massive gaps in your flooring. That’s just a terrible long-term idea. Given the amount of effort put forward for this overlay, it’s not that much extra work to rip out the baseboards and cabinetry. I feel terrible for whomever buys this home in the future. Surprise!
So u put the blue tape on for the cement then u put the red on top of blue !! So wouldn't the blue tape be 1/4 into the concrete how do u remove it and not tear up the edges ??
I'm wondering the same thing, but tearing out ceramic tile is expensive and a huge dirty Job. I have been looking at homes in the desert and every once in a while, a home will have 3 or 4 Different types and colors of tile in it
I would say if the tile is in good shape and is on a good and solid substrate there isn't any real reason to pull it up. Just understand the density of terracotta or ceramic isn't quite the same as these high performance concretes. Therefore if something gets dropped on the floor and it is very hard it could damage the floor easier than it would of if you had removed all of it and finished the concrete that is there.
yeah, a lot of work and expensive material for nothing, they could just do a light grinding and apply a primer before pooring a 5mm thick leveling concrete (fine sand + cement) or glue new tiles on it.
Spiked Shoes ... whenever you install epoxy, you wear special “sandal”-like spiked platform shoes that wrap around your normal workboot. Given that each spike is like a small needle, the second an entire shoe steps out of the wet epoxy, the spikes don’t leave a single trace.
Can that stuff be used over plywood subfloors ? We have 6 dogs and live in a house that may soon have to be a rental house. So, we are looking for inexpensive flooring. Will this work and if not would you have any suggestions ? Thx very much !
Like what they call luxury vinyl plank flooring ? We looked at that but it was about $2/sq ft. If we do it ourselves. We were hoping we could find something less expensive but perhaps that is about as inexpensive as we are going to get for something decent.
@@bananapatch9118 2$ a sq. Ft is not bad price and you can do it yourself. I do self leveling floors also and you better know what you are doing! 😲 The video dose not talk about maintenance of the floor and resurfacing it when needed.
We have a similar self leveling floor put into our restaurant (2 plus years ago) and there is little to no maintenance required. It is much better than the tile we had when the place was built.
I know it didn't look like it but that was the "finished" result. I like polished concrete floors and would not do this based on the look of the finished product.
I have heated floors, but I hate the tile, they have small holes that make sweeping dust out of the kitchen a headache, the floor never feels clean, because these small holes traps dust. Can this product be used to cover my floor?
I am going to do a curb less shower with concrete floor and walls, but also the rest of the bathroom will have concrete floors. Would your product hold up to that environment and would it stay water proof?
Looks not bad, but what if I don’t like it and want to remove it, that is going to be a big deal! I can’t just keep adding tiles on the top, right? You guys were already add this on the top of the existing tiles.
How thick you add on to the tile surface? I can see that there are still tiles on the hall way. Can you level the new floor with the existing tile floor?
This pour was 3/8" thick over the tile. The only way to level this new floor with the other tile is to rip out that tile in the room that we poured. We ended up pouring over the floor in the hallway as well so thats why we weren't worried about that.
Thank you for your response. I would like to do this in my existing bathroom/shower old tiled floor, is that possible? Do you have the products for shower wall? Can I get this products in Australia?
Better hope your subfloors aren't weakened and never get any rotted panels. Bad sections of floor are a common problem in manufactured homes, at least in humid areas - and having to chop through concrete to lay down a new board will make it a giant job!
Thanks, just sent email--I love the process and professional care your team takes in the video. I can only hope the people in Phoenix are equally as diligent.
I'm trying to find out what this process is called, but over here in the UK. This is exactly the job I need done but I'm strugling to find anyone that does it here.
yeah I totally realise that. was kinda commenting out of desperation as I couldn't find someone who did it where I live haha. not sure what to even search for!
Is that by any chance polyurethane flooring? There's a great product in Europe called "Ucrete" very resistant and insanely tough. Give that a shot, but it is expensive.
So, I have a concrete floor in Costa Rica that was poorly sealed and cured, I want this look. I don't need the mesh, just the effect. The concrete finish on the floor is a sort of a stucco (they call it "paint" but it's a powder) they mix, trowel, then sponge it in irregular circles to a sort of a soapstone or slate looking varied surface finish. Could we use this product and is it something we could bring and mix there? Costa Rica has a really limited selection of supplies.
With our system you always want to use the mesh. But yes, we are usually able to ship overseas. Email me at jay@elastocrete.com and I can send you more info, thx.
Hi , you may take a look at my facebook page, ConcretosyEpoxicos , we work with similar floor systems here in Costa Rica, under the company Elite Crete Systems a U.S.A. company.

Well I don’t get it ?

Perfectly good tiles covered over with red goop...mesh...and idiot cement...why not just burn your money...at least some warmth is created instead of this absurd venture!

Because that’s carpentry…and they wanna have nothing to do with that 😂

Fantastic! Great demo! Thank you. I really love this music!

What happens when it cracks ?
So u put the blue tape on for the cement then u put the red on top of blue !! So wouldn't the blue tape be 1/4 into the concrete how do u remove it and not tear up the edges ??
What if the tile was not properly installed and some tiles come lose later? Will that damage the overlay of concrete ?
That’s a lot of work.beautiful job
Good job , shame you didn't remove The skirting boards . That would have been professional.
wtf dude
Great job, congratulations! I would like to know if this product is available for sale in Europe, please. I live in Germany. thanks!
“Great Demonstration of this Fantastic Product”✅
Should of pulled baseboard. What if owner wants to po it new baseboard down the line
Is this more cost effective than just pulling up the tile and polishing the actual concrete. Not trying to be negative genuinely curious.

Very nice...but what if the tiles starts lifting
Looks great but that's a lot of tools for one project if you don't already have them. Maybe you can rent them somewhere? Seems cost prohibitive.
Looks nice. If the concrete was stained, it would have been even better.
Love that hepa vacuum
Thanks for the vid! Do I need to use a specific type of mesh?
What kind of black magic is that (4:51) when you step on the freshly poured stuff it leaves no foot prints?

it seems as if you can walk on freshly poured concrete. Does it dry out that fast?
very good work... very professional
Was that a ceramic tile floor to begin , or what ??
Is that considered a self-leveling concrete mix?
This looks great. Do you know if anyone is doing this in the UK? South East England?
Hi can you stain it before you apply sealer? I wanted to lighten it up somehow.
Can this be applied over an existing cold-climate garage floor cement slab?
I would like to know that also!
Yes it can :)
aren't these floors a little likely to chip and crack and what not? A thin concrete layer just makes me nervous.
This is the best of all!
But what if tile is loose and not bonded securely to the foundation???
Then, everyone dies, silly...Didn't you watch the video?
@@godbluffvdgg That's horrible!!! 😥
@@mquin2112 Hey, don't blame me...I told them to fix it...
I’m curious what suppler do you go through for your material. Thinking about adding this to my services when I start my business
what are its limitations on thickness over uneven floor? Does it self level?
We consider it to be semi self leveling. It can be poured as thick as need and a minimum of 1/4"
Can this product be used for outside as well? I want to get rid of my driveway old tiles.
Good job man
Looks very expensive, and not particularly aesthetically appealing for a living space. What’s the cost per square foot?
I hope you're paying that bald guy on the enough money because he is a hard worker and really quick it must be the jazzy music he listens to
Is the base under the tile concrete? Can this be applied to tile floor which has a base of plywood and beams?
Can you do shower pans with this product?
cool looking floor
Looks super good well done fellas 💪

Can you use a water based top coat ?
You Can
What if the tile is slate? Like rough, uncoated, chipped slate?
If the like is chipping and in rough shape, we'd recommend just ripping it out and starting one the bare subfloor.
I need my 900sq ft unit done in Atlanta. How much?
jesus what a massive amount of effort no thanks
Why not tear out tile floor?
Looks better this way
Maybe for a retail store or for a factory floor, but I wouldn't do that for a home.
Which is the model of the small grinder? I can't find anything similar.
Rhino rx7
I guess it looks fine but y would u want this in your home. Garage maybe but house not feeling it.
Looks great
Too much prep work. I would have just pulled the tile, patched and grinded the floor. Then poured the epoxy.
its a micro topping. tile plus mortar would likely be too thick a layer, and way to expensive to use this stuff.
is this good for exterior applications?
We are currently working on a version that is good for exterior, hope for it to be out mid year.
CAn this be used inside a manufactured double wide?
Yes it can
