Liquid polymer floors with their own hands

self-leveling floor is a floor without seams, polymer-based.

This material is divided into several types, depending on the components of the formulation.

liquid polymer floors are used for residential and industrial premises.

Technology and device

liquid polymer floors with their own hands can be done in two ways.

For smooth surfaces, as an additional finish is applied to the floor with a thin layer having a thickness of 300 microns or more.

Such a layer of material is substantially placed on the floor and used as waterproofing, gain trim wall or ceiling, because it does not withstand heavy loads.

for living rooms is highly filled floor to 4 mm thick, the device of polymeric self-leveling floors gives them sufficient strength.

In the case of compliance with the installation technology of polymeric self-leveling floors, they will have the following advantages:

• high wear resistance and durability;
• antistatic;
• hygiene;
• resistance to various chemical compounds;
• increased fire resistance;
• easy care surface;
• no seams;
• long service life;
• large variety of combinations and colors.

Preparations

Make polymeric self-leveling floors of the apartment can be independently or using the services of artists.

If you prefer the first option, check with the technology and advice.

Preparing the subfloor requires the following tools:

• brush made of metal;
• rule (the rake of two meters in length);
• roller;
• brush;
• cell;
• scraper.

For installation of polymeric self-leveling floor in the garage or apartment, have the following tools:

• drill with low speed with a special nozzle;
• Needle roller to eliminate air bubbles;
• spatula to distribute the solution in the corners, at the door, under the batteries and the like;
• Mop set with a gap for uniform stacking of material on the surface.

Additional materials that may be needed:

• sand solution, required for filling small defects subfloor;
• solvent for degreasing the foundations of the inlet floor.

base can be wood, concrete, ceramic tile or metal.

Preparation of the base of the tree

necessary to dismantle the old skirting boards, check the surface for moisture (must not exceed 10%), the absence of oil stains, adhesives or paints.

After that, you have to grind the surface and cleaned from dust with a vacuum cleaner.

wooden base under the influence of moisture can be deformed, in this case it is better to pre-fill the screed on the floor.When a thin layer of self-leveling floor can be formed cracks.

Substrate Preparation Concrete

for self-leveling floor, concrete - is the most appropriate basis, the allowable humidity is 12%.

After cleaning oil stains and paints, concrete surface even and polished, with a vacuum cleaner remove dust.

Since the pouring of a new foundation must undergo 21 days, after which the installation can continue.On this basis often make polymeric self-leveling floors, industrial.

Substrate preparation of ceramic tiles

Ceramic tiles should have a good tightness to the ground surface.

To test the strength of the tiles you need to tap the entire surface: in those places where there is a hollow sound, the void.

Marked tiles are removed, and the cavity of the soil and found zashpaklevyvayutsya repair mortar (composition of the solution is discussed below).

The next step tiles degreased with an organic solvent and roughening the surface, then apply primer and then mounted polymeric epoxy self-leveling floors, industrial or domestic.

Preparation of the base metal

oil stains and paint are removed from the metal surface, then it is degreased and subjected to a treatment of sandblasting or oshkurivaetsya to remove corrosion products.

Then create a rough surface and is removed with a vacuum cleaner dust, to continue to make the liquid polymer floors with their own hands.

Mounting self-leveling floors

In preparing the solution is not necessary to listen to the advice of neighbors, it is better to use the manufacturer's instructions, as each constituting their proportions of ingredients.

materials for polymer bulk floors should be mixed thoroughly to air bubbles are not entered into the solution and not to remain lumps components.

Professional builders recommended to use an electric drill with a low speed with a special nozzle instead of a drill.

As such attachments can be done "butterfly" of the wire.You can use the mixer construction, but it is far from each host.

Laying solution starts from the far corner of the room and gradually to move toward the door.

With a spiked roller, in the process, it is necessary to roll already laid mixture to remove air balance.

At this point, you can mount 3d liquid polymer flooring that are more quirky designs by volume patterns and images.

Poured floors coated followed by treated with lacquer.This procedure gives the surface gloss, greatly facilitates the care of floors and extends the life of the surface.

Varnish choose light, it is desirable that there is a polyurethane.

Self-leveling polymer self-leveling floor is painted minimum of two layers, making the intervals to paint dry.

Industrial poured floors treated with varnish in a similar way, but the number of layers should be increased.

Typically, the drying time of the prepared solution is about half an hour.One person obviously did not have time to fill all the space, so care must be taken in advance of the partner.

can use special shoes with sharp spines and thin, if the room is large in size.

can walk in the fresh solution dodelyvaya something or corrected in a shoe.

After painting floor varnish, walk on it is recommended only after 48 hours.

Two days later you assembled liquid polymer floors with their own hands will be ready for operation.

Prices for services and materials

If you decide to buy a polymeric self-leveling floor and to entrust the installation of specialized companies, the cost of their services will cost you a minimum of 600 rubles per m2.

Prices polymeric self-leveling floors are increasing in view of the material used and the scale of the room.

If you are confident in their abilities and decided to make a reality of their skills in installing self-leveling floor will need to be purchased for self-leveling floor mixture and cook it at home.

cost of liquid polymer floor polyurethane is an average of 250 rubles per kg, based on epoxy for a couple of rubles more expensive, there is practically no difference.

Transparent and white self-leveling floor is the most expensive and will cost you about 350 rubles per kg.

In most cases, the larger the amount you purchased the inlet floor, the higher the percentage discount you give the supplier, the store or the manufacturer directly.
