The purpose of creating self-leveling floors was to reduce the duration of work and labor costs, which is accompanied by outdated trimming and leveling schemes.
Solution of the problem
Both tasks perfectly solves self-leveledcomposition, with which you can in the shortest possible time to create a perfectly flat, durable, monolithic surface with no seams. Among the advantages should be the possibility of self-pouring without professional help. Today in the market you can meet the quick-hardening self-leveling floor of the “Prospectors”, which can be thick or finish.
Characteristics of a thin finishing self-leveling floor
This finish is used forleveling floors that may have different characteristics. At the same time in the room may remain different humidity. It is permissible to lay parquet, tile, linoleum or other materials on the surface. With this composition, you can form a layer with a thickness of 1 to 20 mm. After 28 days, the quick-hardening self-leveling floor of the “Prospectors” will achieve resistance to a pressure of 20 MPa. The activity of the solution will be maintained for 40 minutes, so care should be taken to work it out during this time. Full drying of the surface will occur within 4 hours, which can be considered a big plus. One square meter of surface will take 16 kg of dry composition, this is true if you form a centimeter layer. On a 25-kg bag, add about 6 liters of water.
Features of application
Finishing quick-hardening bulk floor"Miners" should be applied and evenly distributed over the surface. Use a needle roller to remove air plugs. Since the material is made on the basis of cement, polymer additives and fillers, cement, anhydride, and also gypsum bases can act as a rough base. However, their fortress should not be less than 150 kg / m2.
The base should be cleaned from dirt and dust.Otherwise, the mixture may not grasp the surface firmly. Before starting work, all irregularities should be removed by filling them with special mixtures. It is necessary to pour about 6 liters of water into the container, into which one bag of dry fraction is poured. Using a construction mixer, mix the composition for 4 minutes until you can get an average weight without lumps. Mixture to stand for 3 minutes and mix again. In order to eliminate unexpected results, you should add this amount of water, which is recommended by the manufacturer.
Reviews of a thick bulk field mark "miners"
According to buyers, fast-hardeningThe “miners” (25 kg) self-leveling floor is presented for sale also in the form of a mixture, which is used to form a draft thick layer. As the main surface can be used concrete floors. Users emphasize that the areas of use are the repair and construction of household premises. According to users, the thickness of the coating layer can reach 100 mm. This composition can be used in tandem with a floor heating system. It is noteworthy that the quick-hardening floor is non-shrinking and is suitable for both internal and external works. The fast-hardening “Quickstalker” self-leveling floor, the technical characteristics of which will be important to you if you plan to use it, has the qualities of frost resistance. During internal work conditions must be different normal humidity. Drawing can be made both mechanized, and the manual way. As users emphasize, linoleum, block parquet, natural stone, carpet, laminate or floor tile can be used as a subsequent topcoat.
The main characteristics of the thick floor "miners"
This mixture has a gray color.The recommended local layer thickness is 10 mm, while the minimum total layer thickness is 30 mm. At 25 kg of the mixture, as in the above case, you should add about 6 liters of water. The minimum volume is 5 liters. This indicates that for one kilogram about 0.24 l will be needed. The usage time remains the same, while maintaining the temperature within + 23 °. The quick-hardening floor “miners”, the consumption of which is mentioned in the article, can be used within two days. It is important to note that the manufacturer indicates the recommended temperature of the work, it can be in the range from +5 to + 30 °. If the floor is laid outside the building, it will be able to withstand about 35 cycles of freezing and thawing. With a layer thickness of 10 mm per 1m2 surface will need approximately 17 kg of dry composition.
Surface preparation
Fast-hardening bulk floor "Miners" (bag25 kg) can be purchased by you for leveling surfaces. At the same time to obtain a positive result, it is necessary to properly prepare the base. It should be cleaned from oil stains, dust and other substances that could reduce the strength of adhesion to the surface. If necessary, you can apply a universal primer of the same brand. Leave the surface after that for one hour until dry.
If you have to work with highly absorbentthe bases, then priming can be carried out in two layers. The damping tape should be fixed along the walls around the perimeter of the room and around the columns, as well as other protruding elements. In order to quickly set the self-leveling floor "Prospectors" lay down evenly, you need to install beacons. The correctness of their location is checked by the level or building level.
Features of application
The solution should be distributed using a pump ormanually, if necessary, leveling should be carried out by a rule or rail. To eliminate air bubbles, it is recommended to walk on the surface with a special roller; this should be done immediately after pouring each portion. Quick-hardening self-leveling floor "miners", the reviews of which are the most positive, can be used for arranging the screed, while on the separating layer the fill thickness should be 30 mm. In the first 48 hours after completion of work, drafts and exposure to UV light should be avoided. If you plan to use a floorboard, plywood or block parquet, then you need to install these coatings after 4 weeks, which will depend on the drying conditions. If you use a thick quick-hardening self-leveling floor "miners" (25 kg) for the subsequent laying of tiles, the installation work should be carried out after 7 days.
