Filling floor

Varieties of the filler floor

The coating is divided into several types due to the binders that are present when it is created. Thus, there are 4 main types - methyl acrylate, epoxy, cement-acrylic and polyurethane. Separately it is necessary to allocate a 3d floor, which is created with the help of special conditions and combinations of mixtures.

There are also special moisture-resistant mixtures that are used in the bathroom.

1. Methyl acrylate. A fairly common form, as modern trends increasingly offer acrylic in the composition of the floor. It calmly refers to temperature changes, it is mechanically and chemically well protected and is manufactured in various color schemes. In addition, it has an anti-slip surface. Also an obvious advantage is the rate of polymerization, that is, it very quickly hardens, just a few hours gaining the necessary strength. However, this indicator can be considered as a drawback, since the floor filling in such a situation should be performed as quickly as possible.



2. Epoxy. It consists of a hardener and a base that has a certain color. Should be applied on a completely flat surface, and its thickness should not be less than 1.5 mm and not more than 5 mm. The main advantage is the possibility of applying it with patches of different colors. Very aesthetic option, which will be the decoration of any apartment.



3. Cement-acrylic filling floor. It is used in industry, mainly among food producers, as it has good protection against mechanical and chemical influences.



4. Polyurethane. It is used in individual construction, since it is the most resistant to loads and absolutely waterproof. Ideal for a bathroom.

Filling technology for bulk floor

Despite the fact that most work on casting is trusted by professionals, you can do it yourself. The technology for each species is the same - the difference is only in the time of its hardening. Which mixture to choose is a purely individual matter( the types and their bases are described above).

• The first thing to do is to completely level the surface. There should not be any protrusions or irregularities. Depressions can be puttyped. The floor before filling should be perfect. You also need to remove all garbage.
• After leveling the surface is thoroughly primed. As soon as the primer is finished - you can start placing beacons. They are exposed using a laser level.



• The lights are installed, and you can begin to flood the floor. For this, there are special devices that will make the spill even. However, you can manage without them. The floor can be leveled with a wide spatula. In general, it is recommended to make a fill not on the whole area at once, but on individual sectors( plots).Alignment occurs by moving on yourself from the wall.
• The solution is poured, and now in no case should the floor be touched. It needs to be allowed to dry. The amount of time is different, depending on the selected basis. Usually from 2 days to 2 weeks. Also, the floor must be protected from direct sunlight.

The filler floor is completely ready and it remains only to wait until it hardens. There are no recommendations on the choice of the base, however, the floor is the cheapest on a cement basis, but it has hardened for a very long time. So what will be the choice - to decide only the owner.
