Floor patches get expensive, so this uses the coverage printed on your specific bag.

How it works

Area × your average depth ÷ the depth the bag is rated for, then divided by the bag coverage. Adds 10% for low spots.

Before you order

  • Average depth is hard to guess. Lay a straightedge across the floor at several spots and measure gaps.
  • Prime the substrate when the manufacturer calls for it, or the layer may pinhole or lose bond.
  • Work with a helper once mixed, since working time is short.

Common questions

How much does a bag of self-leveling cover?

A 50 lb bag commonly covers about 40 to 50 square feet at 1/8 inch, depending on the product.

Can I pour it thick?

Each product has a maximum depth. Thicker pours may need a sand extension or a deep-pour product.
