How To Mix Self Leveling Underlayment

We just finished the second area of a radiant heated floor in the basement of our home. This required pouring self leveling underlayment over the radiant heating elements to achieve a level surface for tiling. I searched all over the web for information on the right consistency to mix a self leveling underlayment so it would spread and set properly. I found very little on it. If you didn’t already know, SLUs can cost as much as $30/bag. A large area can take many bags. As a result, a bad mix could cost hundreds and require extensive rework to fix.

That’s why Ethan and I created a video on how to mix self leveling underlayments to the right consistency. If you’re considering using a self-leveling underlayment, but are intimidated about “getting it right,” don’t worry. Its actually very easy. Your project will likely turn out just fine.
