For which the
is required. The fill is performed for leveling the surface, the device for heat and hydro isolation. The fill itself is performed in several stages, which include:
- Surface preparation( plaster leveling)
- Waterproofing padding
- Thermal insulation
- Flatness check
- Stacking the mix( usually concrete)
- Filling with leveling compounds.
The device of such screeds has a number of advantages:
- Level differences between
- plates. Moisture resistance.
- Resistance to decay.
- A device is possible on top of the thermal insulator.
With a large number of advantages, the technology of flooded floors has practically no drawbacks.
Than to pour floors
Than to pour floors in an apartment, the same interesting question as well as how to fill floors in apartment. There are several options. As a rule, the floors are filled with concrete mixture. It can be either finished or manufactured independently. The second option will save a lot of money.
There is also a composition of special concrete, which is poured in thickness from 0.5 to 1 millimeter.
Preparatory stage
To begin with, it is necessary to clean the old surface of the substrate. Clean up all the garbage, dust;surface degrease.
The next step, you need to primer the foundation. Priming is done in 2 layers with a roller. You can also putty with a brush, but this will not give the best option.
After priming must pass a minimum of 24 hours to proceed to the next stage.
After a day, if necessary, produce a waterproofing installation. As a rule, it is arranged in places where large gaps are present, sewage pipes or heating pipes are adjacent. Preliminary, such places are treated with bitumen or sealant. Also, formulations comprising epoxy resins can be used.
Waterproofing is mandatory in toilets, bathrooms.
After laying the waterproofing, they begin to determine the heights. This is a very important point. Accurate knowledge of the heights will help avoid overexpenditure of the material. As a rule, modern laser equipment is used. For convenience, you can pull the thread or put the rail, so as not to make mistakes when you pour the floor.
If you are going to fill the floor in a bathroom or toilet, remember that the floor level must be below the threshold. It is necessary that in the event of an emergency the water can not seep into other rooms.
Before you start working near pipes, it is advisable to close the water, or even better ask to turn off the riser.
Important! Filling is from the far wall to the door. It is desirable to produce work together. One person prepares the mixture and pours it into an overlap next to the previous portion. The second leveled her and poured along the walls.
The optimal filling option is a strip of small width, 30-50 cm. The mixture is laid down in an average thickness. Too small a layer will cause the floor to not be able to withstand future loads. Too much - the mixture will dry out from the inside.
Pouring the floor with expanded clay
For a start, what is expanded clay. This material is obtained by firing clay. It can be of three types depending on the size of the fraction:
- Sand - 0,1 - 5mm
- Gravel - 5-40 mm round form
- Rubble - 5 - 40mm irregular shape
Pouring the floor of the expanded clay will give you warm parquet, convenient for pouring screed and installationflooring. Also, expanded clay, almost indispensable, with the warming of the wooden flooring.
The very technology of pouring floors with expanded clay is almost the same as usual floor pouring. Only in this case it is necessary to install the slats and to cover the expanded clay up to the mark. Filling is carried out evenly along the perimeter. After the expanded clay is poured with cement milk, then the mixture must be seized. Settling time from one to two days.
In modern residential buildings, as a filling mixture uses foam concrete. But if in the future, you sell the apartment, and the future owners decide to re-fill the floor, then they will have serious difficulties.
You may also have problems if the height differences are very large. At large differences, it is necessary to calculate the entire future design in advance. If you do not do this, and can not stand the ceiling of neighbors, then you will have to suffer with neighbors and precinct.
Conclusion
Filler flooring offers many advantages, it will provide a smooth and smooth surface, on which it is very convenient to lay tiles, spread linoleum or laminate.
As far as the process of execution of works is concerned, it is not at all complicated, but rather laborious and responsible. We recommend preliminary to calculate the necessary material and calculate future costs. Good luck!
