What is a self-leveling floor mix?

Align the floor is not as easy as it may seem. This is a complex process, with which even professionals can hardly cope. But all the complexity was significantly reduced after a self-leveling mixture for the floor appeared on the market. At present, it is possible to make the surface even independently.

What is a self-leveling floor mix? This is a special solution, which is applied to the surface in order to hide some not too large defects. It is used before finishing the floor. One of the main advantages of the mixture is its ease of use and high rate of solidification. Due to its not too large thickness, it is often used in rooms with low ceilings.

In order to level the floor, you will need a set of specific tools: a solution tank, a roller, a drill and a nozzle. Before the self-leveling floor mix is laid, you will need to clean the surface of the dust. In addition, it should not have any holes. After that, the floor will need to be covered with a not too thick primer coat. It should be understood that all this should be done qualitatively. Otherwise, the result of the work done will not please you.

After all the initial work on the preparation of the surface will be done, it is necessary to proceed directly to the preparation of the solution. To do this, the purchased dry mixture will be mixed with water. In doing so, you must follow the instructions that are written on the package. It should be understood that in the tank you must first add water, and then pour out the mixture itself. In order for the self-leveling mixture for the floor to become uniform, it is necessary to thoroughly mix it with a drill. Taking into account the fact that the solution has a property to quickly thicken, it is necessary to use it immediately.

The last stage, after which the floor in the apartment will be ready, is laying the mixture. To do this, it is necessary to pour the resulting solution over the surface in equal portions. Pour is required so that the next part fits next to the previous portion. It should be noted that the thickness of the floor should be more than 50 millimeters. To obtain the required thickness, it is necessary to use a needle roller. In addition, with the help of it you can get rid of air bubbles. After the mixture has been laid, it is necessary to wait for its complete drying. This can last from three to fourteen days, depending on the layer and weather conditions. Only after the floor has dried, you can go to laying flooring.

At this work on leveling the surface is completely done. If you do not know which mixture to choose, you can safely purchase the flooring "Starateli", which has all the necessary advantages. Also it is worth understanding that the whole process of laying should be done with a partner. This need arises from the rapid thickening of the mixture. Good luck in bringing the surface to an even state!
