The technology of filling the cement flooring floor
To work does not seem impossible, and the process itself proceeded smoothly and without unpleasant nuances, you need to follow the basic stages of the technology of pouring. This is an important point, since the result will depend on the correct performance of the work at each stage.
Preparation of the foundation for cement filling
This stage is considered the most important, it will depend on the final result of your work. For example, you are irresponsible to clean the surface of construction debris, and the alignment was not strong enough. Get the result you are working on. Uneven surface will make itself felt at the stage of pouring concrete - the bulk of the mass flows down.
In the bulk of the bulk, a concrete base is chosen for the filler coating, which is why the requirements for it are quite stringent:
- should be made as flat as possible;
- needs to level out all cracks and defects;
- before filling the floor should not forget about the waterproofing of the base;
- clean the floors of various debris and dirt, remove oil stains, if any.
The easiest way to fulfill all these requirements is to make a concrete screed on the ground, trying to align it. This will help to hide all the irregularities, and to everything else on the screed it is more convenient to lay the material for waterproofing.
After drying the screed, it is necessary to make priming work. For this purpose one-component lacquer is most often used. It is applied in two layers and each of them is thoroughly dried. With the correct application of the primer to the surface, it will look like a large nazhdachku. The purpose of the primer is to create an excellent grip with the basic material of the fill.
If after application the primer starts to foam and darken, you need to wait for it to dry completely a little more, up to 24 hours. After the drying of the substrate, putty works are carried out, which contribute to the maximum leveling of the surface.
Installation of beacons
After carrying out all the preparatory work, it is necessary to undertake the fastening of beacons - guides, which will promote uniform application of cement-containing composition. Without this, you can do without, if the floor is poured in a small area, but in large rooms you can not neglect the beacons. Otherwise, you can not evenly apply the cement mixture.
Thanks to the installation of beacons you will get the main area, divided into segments, due to what you can pour the concrete solution step-by-step. The beacons are fixed with the same concrete mix that will be used for pouring.
How to prepare mortar for cement flooring?
When the solution completely solidified under the beacons, it's time to prepare the mixture for the pouring work. Having picked up a package with a dry mixture, it is necessary to study carefully the attached instructions. In the prepared container, pour the necessary amount of water and fill the contents of the package.
In order to obtain a homogeneous mass without lumps, it is possible to stir the solution with a drill with a nozzle. After this, the solution is left for a while, and afterwards another approach is taken for stirring. It is not recommended to use the drill at maximum speed, only small speeds will guarantee the best quality mixture.
Cement filling process for cement floor
The technology for pouring cement floor is that, for a good result, it should be poured into two layers, of which the first layer is called the underlayer, and the second is the face layer or the finish layer.
Pouring the underlayer contributes to the final leveling of the substrate, removes all minor unevenness. The result is an ideal coating for applying the last layer. The thickness of the first layer should not exceed 2 millimeters.
Apply the finishing coat, leveling it to the Rakley. After that, by the area of the pouring it is necessary to hold a needle roller that is able to manage all the bubbles that affect the quality of the final result. By means of the same roller, the color can be distributed over the surface. As soon as the floor is dry, seal joints should be sealed.
Decoration of the bulk floor
For the decoration of the cement flooring floor, it is possible to use polymer "chips" or use another filler, which will help to make the floor unusual. Inclusions of different colors, leaves, shells, parts of the tree - all this can be used in the implementation of creative ideas. Reception decorating will also facilitate the visual hiding of defects on the surface, if suddenly during the pouring something went wrong. Decorations placed on the floor are covered with a thin layer of polyurethane varnish.
