Setting the floor – an integral part of the repair of the floor for the finish. The final result and the appearance of the floor as a whole depend on how efficiently you do this work. To prevent possible mistakes in the work of work, we will talk about the main mistakes made by masters and ordinary people who do all the work with their own hands.
Incorrect choice of building materials is one of the reasons for poor -quality alignment. Before buying a certain floor, carefully study the instructions – each manufacturer has its own materials of materials intended for individual conditions, because absolutely universal aparts simply do not exist. However, there is one useful advice – give preference to mixtures on a cement basis, and not on gypsum, t. To. These mixtures are most optimized for different conditions for the operation of the floor. Plus, there are certain subtleties in laying a final finishing layer – not any material is suitable for a gypsum screed.
The second common mistake is a poor -quality preparation of the base of the screed before pouring. Before pouring the diller, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the base of dust, moisture, dirt, traces of putty after leveling the walls, and only after that fill in. In addition, it is necessary to freely close all the cracks and cracks at the base, remove chips and other defects in order to ensure the most reliable adhesion of the equalizer with the base material. After harvesting the base, it is thoroughly primed, preferably with a primer of deep penetration in order to eliminate the “dust” of the floor, and ensure reliable adhesion of all components of the floor. An unnatted floor is another renovation error, the result of which is an exfoliating screed “playing” under the feet when walking.
As a recommendation, we give information that do not forget about the different thickness of the finish finishing layer. For example, you are going to use porcelain stoneware in the kitchen, in the rest of the floor area of the apartment – linoleum. The thickness of these materials is undoubtedly different, and the height drop can turn out about 0, 5cm-1sm. Unpleasant fact, but it takes place when repairing apartments.
The last common error when leveling the floor is non -compliance with the timing of the setting strength of the screed. Often, this is due not so much by ignorance as the compressed periods of work. But often this leads to consequences such as the effect of low moisture on the finish, the floor from modular materials begins to “play”, etc. D. Therefore, follow the instructions of the manufacturer, because the mixtures, as already noted above, are not the same.
