Hey students!
The one HUGE thing a bathroom floor requires before you lay down the tile (especially a mosaic/smaller tile) is having a LEVEL FLOOR. This isn’t always achieved on its own. Thank goodness for self-leveling products that make this possible in the simplest way. Introducing my absolute favorite leveling system for bathroom floors: the Ardex Liquid Backerboard. This is a self-leveling underlayment for interior wood and concrete subfloors. I love it.
In this bathroom remodeling video, I’m using the Ardex leveling liquid over heated flooring wiring. Nothing better than having warm tootsies in your bathroom— especially in the winter. Doing a heated floor this way saves you a ton of money.
As you can see, I’ve laid my wire down in the areas where I want the floor to be heated. Laying the wire down manually saves you a lot of money than getting the pre-wired matting.
Before mixing the leveler, make sure the entire perimeter of the room is sealed and blocked. I used the Great Stuff Pro Sealant.
Next up, you will want to prime the subfloor before laying down that leveler. I use the Ardex Primer.
Be sure to watch this entire video, because I go into a few other things you want to do before mixing and pouring the leveling liquid, like setting screws to indicate a level floor and the tools I use to spread the leveler. But once you are done with all of that, you’ll mix up your leveler and pour away.
Here is how my floor looked after spreading the liquid floor leveler. Very easy!
