The device ties with "quick-" self-leveling floor

Self-leveling floors - perhaps the most effective and convenient way to get good subfloor. However, for such a floor, there are certain rules described in this example. Observing them, you can get a reliable, durable and smooth base. In our example, we tell about the device ties with "quick-" self-leveling floor. Laying Laying damper damping tape tape device before the tie with a "self-leveling floor" set the damping tape on the perimeter of the room. It is necessary for assuming the linear extensions that may arise in the field pairing of sex with walls of the room. The width of the tape is chosen from the calculation of estimated thickness of the inlet floor. A damping tape is usually made of expanded polypropylene of thickness 4-6 mm, or other similar material. The finished tape, adhesive, can be found on sale, in addition you can make yourself a tape, cut into strips of polypropylene and using adhesive (eg glue COP). Determining the level of future floor and room layout before filling self-leveling screed determine the level of future coverage. This may be a specified level (in our case, 40mm from ground level). If, however, need to make fiber a minimum, the floor level by the height of the highest point of the base plus 0.5 cm (minimum layer for Quick sexes). So, to mark the level do the following: Step 1. Install and fix at a certain height (level 0) in the room laser level Step 2. Postpone the required distance down from the laser beam on the walls of the room and connect the points obtained. Thus we get the markup of the future level of the floor. Step 1 Step 2 Step 2: Calculate the number of mixture further assess the differences of the base and determine the necessary amount of the mixture. Thus, in our case, the average floor thickness of about 6 cm area of ??the room - 8 m2. We expect the required number of the mixture: A = Area (m2) x thickness (cm) x 18 (kg-flow of the mixture) = 8 x 6 x 18 = 864 = 35 kg bags of fiber - 56 mm (96-40mm) Pit. Layer - 74 mm (114-40) Hillock. Layer - 46 mm (86-40) Substrate Preparation After fixing the damping tape on the perimeter of the room, prepare the very foundation. Brush or broom to remove all rubbish base and fragile elements of the foundation. If there are holes in the base, they must be plugged to prevent leakage of the inlet floor. For obeskrylivaniya coating it evenly coat. After priming, wait 30-40 minutes, until the primer dries. Installation of lighthouses and the partition of the total area into sections to determine the level of future floor install beacons. Usually used for this purpose mayachkovye metal profiles, fixed with plaster or cement-sand mortar. Trowel mortar evenly distribute under the lighthouses, filling the void. Thus, the share base on the strip or squares for easy pouring. Preparation of solution Before preparation of the solution, be sure to read the instructions printed on the bag. With its help, we can determine the proportions of a mixture of water and the selected container (bucket or pot) and then proceed to the mix. In the container pour the required amount of water and then, gradually mixing with a drill with a special attachment, sleeps a certain amount of dry mix. Stir for 3-5 minutes until smooth creamy mass, leave for 5 minutes, then mix again for 2 minutes. All this is necessary to ensure that chemical additives so important for the manifestation of the properties of the inlet floor, solutions and take action. Fill the floor When the solution is ready, proceed to fill the floor. It is important to take into account the number of people attending. They must be at least three: one continuous solution prepares the second pours him a third accelerates solution spiked roller. The solution was evenly poured onto the ground. It is recommended to roll the surface with a spiked roller or a T-shaped rail, to facilitate the connection portions of the solution and remove air bubbles caught in the thick of the solution. After completing the final stage of filling the floor, leave it to harden for 4 hours. This time will be enough to become a self-leveling floor strong enough to be walking on it. Maximum hardness of this same floor will get within 7-8 days. It all depends on the thickness of poured floor. After this time the floor is suitable for further finishing. Such as laying tile.
