Self-leveling compound

[Andy_hstad]

Hi. I'm going to install a ground source heat pump but also need to fix the area where it will stand. I'm thinking of using self-leveling compound on the floor where it will stand, it's barely 1 sqm and it needs to be raised 15 mm. Will it have time to dry properly in 1.5 days before the boiler is placed there?

Does anyone know?

If you lay thinner than 1cm, it is possible to lay carpet, paint, or tile tomorrow.

It is generally estimated that it dries 1 mm per day, but that is the formula for laying a covering over it, i.e., a tight mat on top.

If you are just using the self-leveling compound as the surface, it should be hard enough in 6-8 hours.
You could lay tiles over early, as it still dries through its joints.
