Want a Neater and More Professional Self-Level Flooring Result?
A neater and more professional self-level flooring result starts with compatible materials, proper substrate preparation and the right application tools. At CIZEN, we supply the complete Mapei Self-Level Flooring System, including Mapei Primer G, Novoplan compounds and compatible flooring accessories, to help contractors create smoother, more level and more consistent floor surfaces.
For factories, warehouses, retail outlets, offices and commercial renovations, our team provides flooring materials, practical guidance and coordinated supply through one reliable source.
Why Does the Right Self-Level Flooring System Matter?
A self-level flooring installation involves more than pouring a levelling compound over an existing surface. The primer, self-levelling material, substrate condition, application thickness and installation tools must be suitable for one another.
Using the right materials and tools can help contractors:
- Improve adhesion between the substrate and levelling compound
- Produce a smoother and more level surface
- Reduce trapped air, visible marks and uneven application
- Prepare a suitable base for epoxy coatings or other floor finishes
- Support better-controlled installation across the project area
- Help create a suitable base that supports the performance and durability of the intended flooring system when correctly selected and applied
Material compatibility is particularly important when different flooring layers are installed as part of the same project. Products designed to work together can help reduce the risk of poor adhesion, inconsistent drying and unsuitable floor build-up.
Mapei Self-Level Flooring Products Available from CIZEN
As an Authorised Mapei Distributor, we supply original Mapei products together with MICI flooring tools, FIA roller refills and related professional accessories.
Contractors can source the primary materials and equipment needed for self-level flooring through one coordinated supplier.
Mapei Primer G
Mapei Primer G is used to prepare suitable substrates before the self-levelling compound is applied. It helps improve adhesion and creates a more reliable base for the following flooring layer.
Primer application can also help manage surface absorption, which may affect the flow and consistency of the self-levelling compound.
Mapei Novoplan 21
Mapei Novoplan 21 is a fast-drying self-levelling compound used to produce a smooth and level interior floor surface. It can help correct suitable surface irregularities and prepare the substrate for subsequent floor finishes.
Correct mixing, pouring and thickness control are important for achieving a uniform result.
Mapei Novoplan 200 MY
Mapei Novoplan 200 MY is another high-quality self-levelling compound available for suitable flooring applications.
The appropriate product may depend on the substrate condition, project requirements, intended floor finish and installation environment.
MICI Flooring Tools and Accessories
Professional flooring tools help installers spread the compound, manage application thickness, release trapped air and move across wet material during installation.
Available MICI accessories include:
- Stainless steel epoxy flooring scrapers
- Spiked rollers with cages
- Spike shoes
- Flooring application tools
- Related installation accessories
FIA Roller Refills
FIA 9-inch roller refills can be used to apply primer more smoothly and evenly across a prepared substrate.
A controlled primer layer helps create suitable conditions before the self-levelling compound is installed.

How Is a Self-Level Flooring System Applied?
A professional installation generally follows a structured process. Site conditions may vary, but the main stages usually include inspection, preparation, priming, mixing, pouring, air release and drying.
Step 1: Inspect the Existing Floor
The substrate should first be assessed for cracks, contamination, moisture concerns, damaged sections and major level differences.
The premises type, expected traffic and intended finish should also be considered before the flooring materials are selected.
Step 2: Prepare and Clean the Surface
The floor should be stable, clean and suitable for receiving the new material. Dust, grease, oil, loose particles and other contaminants may interfere with adhesion.
Cracks, holes and damaged sections should be treated where necessary before priming begins.
Projects involving moisture-related concerns may also benefit from our Waterproofing Specialist & Professional Expert Advice.
Step 3: Apply Mapei Primer G
Mapei Primer G is applied over the prepared substrate to improve adhesion and create a suitable base for the self-levelling material.
FIA roller refills can help distribute the primer more evenly across the application area. The primer should be applied according to the relevant product requirements before proceeding to the next stage.
Step 4: Mix the Self-Levelling Compound
Mapei Novoplan 21 or Novoplan 200 MY should be mixed using the specified water ratio and suitable mixing equipment.
Too much water may affect material performance, while insufficient mixing can lead to lumps, poor flow and inconsistent application.
Step 5: Pour and Spread the Material
The mixed compound is poured onto the prepared surface and distributed using a flooring scraper.
The scraper helps guide the material and control the required application thickness. Continuous working methods can also help reduce visible joints between separate batches.
Step 6: Release Trapped Air
A spiked roller is passed through the wet compound to help release air trapped during mixing and pouring.
Spike shoes allow installers to move across the wet surface while carrying out rolling and adjustment work.
Step 7: Allow Proper Drying
The installed surface should be protected while it dries.
The required waiting time depends on the selected product, application thickness, site conditions and intended subsequent floor finish. The next coating or flooring layer should only be installed when the surface is ready.

What Are the Main Benefits of Self-Level Flooring?
A properly selected and applied self-level flooring system can improve the condition and appearance of a suitable substrate before the final flooring layer is installed.
Smoother and More Level Substrate
The compound flows across the prepared surface and helps correct suitable irregularities.
This creates a flatter and more uniform base for the intended floor finish.
Better-Prepared Base for Subsequent Finishes
A level substrate can improve preparation for epoxy coatings, vinyl, tiles and other suitable flooring materials.
Epoxy coatings may appear more uniform when applied over a properly prepared base.

More Uniform Appearance
A smooth surface can contribute to a cleaner and more professional appearance in offices, shops, showrooms, warehouses and other commercial spaces.
The finished result still depends on correct preparation, mixing, application and drying.
Easier Cleaning
Where a continuous smooth surface is achieved, there may be fewer low points and surface irregularities where dirt can collect.
This can make routine floor cleaning and maintenance more manageable.
Where Can Self-Level Flooring Be Used?
Self-level flooring is commonly used to prepare suitable surfaces in:
- Factories and production areas
- Warehouses and storage facilities
- Retail shops and showrooms
- Offices and commercial buildings
- Hotels and hospitality premises
- Workshops and service areas
- Residential renovation projects
The appropriate system depends on the condition of the substrate, expected loading, traffic level, moisture exposure and intended final finish.

Factory operators may also source related tools and maintenance products through our Building Hardware Supplier for Factories in Kedah.
Common Self-Level Flooring Problems to Avoid
Even a high-quality self-levelling compound may produce unsatisfactory results when preparation and application conditions are not properly controlled.
Common problems include:
- Applying material over a dusty, greasy or contaminated floor
- Skipping the required primer
- Using an unsuitable primer for the substrate
- Adding too much water during mixing
- Allowing mixed material to stand beyond its workable period
- Failing to release trapped air
- Using unsuitable tools for thickness control
- Applying material over untreated damage
- Interrupting the pouring process unnecessarily
- Installing the next floor finish before sufficient drying
Planning material quantities, tools and the installation sequence before work begins can help reduce delays and avoidable rework.
