Elimination of irregularities by grinding the floor with your own hands

Floor grinding - recently introduced in the market of services technology, which allows to restore wooden and bulk flooring.

In the process of work, the old paint layer is removed and the surface is provided with a smooth structure suitable for re-decoration.

Floor sanding machines

You can purchase floor grinding equipment by yourself at specialized shops.

For this you need to know that this type of device produces two categories.

The first category includes professional equipment, the second - a tool for home use.

Of course, the leaders in the quality and efficiency of grinding work are professional devices.

Their design is equipped with discs with satellites equipped with diamond nozzles.

During operation, the discs of the machine and the auxiliary elements move in opposite directions, thereby achieving the ideal smoothness and smoothness of the treated surface.

An additional advantage of using a professional tool is the possibility of adjusting the working speed, dust extraction and water supply function.

The high cost of such an assembly does not allow it to be purchased for domestic purposes, and is considered a big and perhaps the only drawback.

Therefore, at home polish polishing of the floor has learned the Bulgarian, which every master has.

The tool is convenient for working in hard-to-reach places, in which the grinding machine will not pass. As its working element is an abrasive disc or diamond bowl.

The Bulgarian can polish both the concrete and the wooden floor surface. The diameter of the abrasive disc depends on the load that the device can withstand.

Bulgarians need to work cautiously, as the tool is unsafe and the nozzle can fly off it.

Features of wooden floor grinding

Having decided to make a major overhaul of the wooden floor instead of replacing it with new material, you can refer to the technology of grinding and subsequent polishing of the surface.

In the case of mounting a new floor, from a pine sheet pile board, you can not do without a grinder.

Before grinding, it is necessary to carry out a number of preparatory works.

First of all, stock up on the right tool, you will need:

• grinding machine;
• abrasive paper;
• grinding beam;
• manual cycle;
• hammer.

As during the operation of the wooden flooring, it is possible for him to jump the nail heads, with which the boards were fixed, it is recommended to inspect the whole floor and tap the hammers with a hammer.

This is due to the use of a special machine equipped with a grinding belt, which can damage nails during operation.

This fact is also recommended to be taken into account when laying a new wooden floor from a grooved board.

The material is fixed with screws, but not through the front of the part, as this will not only spoil the appearance of the floor, but will also adversely affect the operation of the LSM.

If, however, the screws have been screwed into the face of the pile board, make sure that the head of each fastener is well recessed.

In addition, during the preparation of the wooden flooring to grinding, it is recommended to remove the surface from the cracks by hand.

Large gaps are sealed by applying slats with the appropriate dimensions, which are installed in the slot.

The bar is treated with wood glue, laid in a slot and pricked with a mallet.

In doing so, it should lie so that its plane slightly protrudes above the floor.

Then excess glue is removed. When the adhesive substance completely dries, the surface is leveled with a plane.

Fine gaps of the wooden surface are eliminated using a specially prepared core for cracks.

For this, mix 1x1 gypsum and sawdust, water is added until a thick, moist mass is obtained.

If the composition is supplemented with a minimum amount of citric acid( 1/3 tsp to 0.5 water), wood sawdust will become more pliable to use.

Use a spatula to wipe the cracks of the board flooring, the dried surface is sanded with sandpaper.

How to grind the grooved surface?

The grinding of floors from wood begins with the preparation of the machine - its drum is equipped with a large abrasive grinding tape.

Before connecting to the power supply, the unit is tilted back so that the abrasive does not touch the floor surface.

Once the plug is inserted into the socket, the tool is slowly returned to a stable position and allows it to move in the selected direction.

The floor plane is polished diagonally( across the boards) in such a way that, when the strip is turned, they overlap each other.

In order not to spoil the floors with strong depressions, it is not recommended to stand still during the grinding process. When turning the machine slightly tilted back, support it will serve as a wheel.

After finishing the grinding of the floor with a large abrasive, the dust is cleaned using a vacuum cleaner. After that, the machine is equipped with medium-grained abrasive tape for processing the floor along the fibers of the tree.

Then the unit is equipped with small emery paper, with the final grinding, the technology of the first stage of work is applied.

For the processing of hard-to-reach areas, the floor use a manual edge grinding tool, emery beam and a cycle. Supplement the above material will enable a thematic video.

Features of sanding concrete floor

Sanding of concrete floor can be carried out both on draft and on the final covering of the screed, equipment called "helicopter".

This sanding floor screed technology provides high-quality adhesive properties to the materials to be laid.

Here it is worth noting the fact that grinding does not correct the horizontal plane of the filling floor, and the absence of undulations should be provided even when it is poured.

Grinding equipment moves around the surface of the screed closely, while accurately repeating its shape.

In the process of grinding a concrete base with your own hands, it is recommended to apply a dry grinding method, which is performed in three stages:

1. The surface of the screed is leveled by a grinding tool. Deformation shrinkage junctions, potholes and cracks are eliminated;
2. To remove existing irregularities, epoxy mastic is used, when applied, the plane is monitored, after which the grinding "helicopter" must pass without any problems;
3. At the final stage, they make a grinding of the screed with their own hands.

Detail grinding of the filling concrete floor looks like this:

• With the help of the grinding machine "helicopter", first the working surface is treated with circles with abrasive 40;
• Then, to strengthen the concrete screed, use a special composition, due to which an astringent film is formed on the surface, covering the pores in the concrete;
• After grinding the concrete floor with discs with a grain size of 400 and above, which allows to give the base resistance to high mechanical stress;
• At the final stage, the floor is polished with circles with an abrasive from 1500 to 3000, which results in a glossy appearance of the screed surface.

Features of grinding and polishing marble base

The grinding of the marble floor is carried out with the loss of the original decorative appearance of the surface when the surface of the marble slabs has become cloudy or worn.

Sequence of grinding works:

1. Alignment. The process of leveling is a rough grinding of marble, it is applied immediately after the installation of marble slabs or during the restoration of the floor, which has lost the layer of factory polishing;
2. Elimination of defects. It is mandatory to perform when the marble is damaged by sealing the cracks, scratches and chips more than 3 mm. The constituent components of the puttying agent include polyester glue. It can be given a shade by means of a coloring paste suitable for the tone of the marble coating;
3. Restoration of joints. If the mortar joints between the tiles have become unusable, the old screed is removed and a new one is made. All this is done before the processing of marble grinding machine;
4. Surface grinding. Its application allows you to remove scratches, which are the result of the leveling of marble;
5. Polishing marble. The final stage of the restoration works, provides a floor surface with a mirror image.

With the help of chemicals, marble is polished and crystallized, resulting in a long polishing layer for a long service life.

At the final stage, the marble surface is covered with a protective polymer compound, which will help to protect the floors from accidentally spilled liquids.
