How to pour the liquid to a floor

Tools and materials for filling floor

  1. Metal profiles for the installation of beacons
  2. Building level
  3. Rule (trapezoidal)
  4. Roller (spike)
  5. Taz mixing compositions
  6. mixer or a drill with paddle mixing
  7. Waterproofing
  8. mastic
  9. primer or sealant

Tools for self- floor fill

Preliminary action with the floor surface.Step 1. Waterproofing

Before pouring, the floor must be put in proper condition.Remove all debris, dust, dirt and chipping pieces of the surface.Then draw waterproofing, which can be done using either roll roofing waterproofing.In the extreme case, you can use plastic wrap.Waterproofing material untwist the floor so that the connecting seams lie down on lap 15 cm. Places near the walls also worth nahlestyvat, and then apply the paste on them.

waterproofing can be installed on top of heat-insulating material, which can be:

  • perlite;
  • polystyrene;
  • foam;
  • expanded clay;
  • basalt wool.

Step 2. Marking the floor level of beacons

to the floor level was the same even for the whole surface, it is necessary to put beacons metal profile and a solution of cement and sand.Take the building level and measure the surface of the floor, then put the first guide.It will consist of just a small amount and profile subtending composition.

From the first rail at a distance of two feet from each other put the following, and that the profile was indestructible, it is necessary to put a part of plaster, sand and cement mix and primer.

Fill the house floor with his hands.Step 1. Screed floor surface

for use humidified screed concrete block, which is spread over the entire area of ​​the same layer.He was then primed and allowed to stand for several hours, the surface is completely dry and was ready for application of the next layer.

for self-composition, which can fill the floor, you need to buy one of their dry mixes to choose from:

  • self-leveling;
  • sand and cement;
  • leveling.

These mixtures are diluted with water temperature of 17-25 ° in the proportions indicated on the package.To do this, take a bowl, in which a mixture of fit, water, mixer and knead the composition.

Important!When you stir the mixture, making sure to leave no lumps, and the resulting composition has reached the consistency like sour cream.Besides better stir the mixture a second time, after 10 minutes, to mass became homogeneous, and all components of the absorbed water because excess water can degrade the strength of the layer composition and provoke cracks.

Once the mixing is complete, the composition is suitable for use for two hours.

Next, you need to prepare a sand-cement mixture.You can create a homogeneous mass by dilution with water.Then pour it into the space between the rails with extreme angle, smoothing special trowel or a wide spatula.The composition is distributed usually perfectly straight along the guide rails.The drying time of the room at the end of the work is not less than 8 hours.Too fast drying or moisture may form a flat screed cracks and other deformations.Eliminate them can soak the sponge with water and walking up to her on the surface.

Step 2. Fill the floor surface

Absolute drying screed occurs within 1-2 days, that's when you can start to fill in the floor.The polymer mixture is brought to a consistency of thick yogurt and poured on the floor at 5 cm, expelling air bubbles studded roller.Be sure to distribute the mixture as uniformly as possible.

Fill the floor with a mixture of

floor Drying time depends on the humidity in the room and the air temperature, which either increase or decrease the rate of drying.For example, at a temperature of + 21 ° to walk on the floor will be within 8.7 hours but with lower temperature drying period at times increases.

Important!Select the next floor covering (parquet, linoleum, etc.) must match the level of humidity, permissible surface and flat as a whole.
