Perhaps, there is no more effective and creative decoration of an apartment than a self-leveling floor. You can even create a floor for a beginner. The main thing is to have suitable materials and skillful hands. Do not believe me? Secrets for beginners or how to equip the floor in the apartment.

Types of bulk floor
A floor is a surface made of polymer coatings.
The use of a self-leveling floor as a self-leveling floor is justified in cases where a concrete screed can not meet all the requirements for a finish coat.
Depending on the polymer used, polymeric bulk floors are divided into:
• Polyurethane
• epoxy
• methyl methacrylate
• cement-acrylic.
Advantages of bulk floor
What are the advantages of self-leveling floors and why does the "new generation" choose them? Frankly, such a cover is a find for the lazy:
• floors completely meet hygiene requirements
• they are hermetic, which prevents the reproduction of microorganisms
• have a long service life of more than 20 years
• wear-resistant and resistant to UV radiation.
The European style quickly and irrevocably breaks into our primitive and boring "living space", revealing the vivid 3D floors.
Well, how impressive?
We will discuss at once that the process of manufacturing self-leveling floor by oneself is a long and time-consuming process. As practice shows, the process takes a favorable outcome up to 7 days.
But the process of appearance of an even and flawless surface of the floor, made according to all the rules with observance of technology, will bring complete satisfaction.
And what can be safer and more kind than building with your own hands!
How to equip the bulk floor with your own hands in the apartment
The device of a bulk floor of an apartment consists of the stages:
• preliminary preparation of the working base for subsequent application
• grinding the surface of the base of the floor
• application of the main primer layer
• application of the base coat
• application of the finishing coat.
From the preliminary preparation of the working base, the properties of the future sex will depend, watch here it is necessary on the existing swellings or roughness, potholes and cracks - they are filled with solutions from dry mixtures.
Grinding of the prepared surface is carried out with the help of grinding machines.
The application of the main primer layer is necessary in order to close the porous layer of the concrete surface.
In this case, the finished primer is purchased and applied to the surface with a roller twice.
After carrying out the priming after 8-10 hours, the base (main) coating layer is applied. The base layer is considered to be a continuous coating layer without the presence of visible defects.
The polymer composition is gradually poured onto the floor by the filling method and is simultaneously distributed over the entire area.
To apply the filling field, the main tool is the squeegee.
The squeegee is a construction tool with an adjustable working gap width and with the required accuracy during installation.
All components of the filler floor are made of epoxy resins, polyurethane or methyl methacrylate separately.
Mixing of components is carried out immediately before pouring.
The mass obtained by mixing is mixed to a uniform consistency. The mass when applied spreads a thin layer over the surface of the floor and solidifies the time determined in technology.
Therefore, the application of an even base layer should be carried out quickly and clearly.
The leveling solution (base mixture), prepared in compliance with the technology, should have excellent fluidity, ductility and adhesion to the substrate.
The self-leveling floor does not have cracks, chips or visible shells, but it has a monolithic surface capable of withstanding a mechanical load of up to 800 kg. on 1 square. meter.
During the drying of the base layer on a freshly ground surface, it is necessary to roll several times with an aeration roller (roller with special long spikes), which will remove the air bubbles emerging from the material. The final finishing layer of polyurethane varnish improves the chemical properties of the filling floor and maintains the gloss.
The finishing coat is applied 2 days after the final drying of the base layer.
Filling epoxy floors are characterized by:
• durability
• wear resistance
• heat resistance
• chemical resistance
• high adhesion to mineral bases
• seamless
• non-skid surface
• exquisite appearance and design.
