I thought that only a plane would help a crooked wooden floor. It turns out that there are special mixtures (it seems like some kind of fairy tale).
Screed on a concrete base is a proven technology for a long time (and in my house has already been done). Self-leveling mixes have now become popular, which make the concrete surface perfect. But I did not expect that something similar exists for a tree.
Friends, I am glad to welcome you to my channel. Probably new discoveries in the field of construction will never end for me... Although the construction of my house has been going on for the 4th season, more and more interesting things come up that I did not even know about.
In the intricacies of technologies for working with wood, I did not really go into it.
Although, when building my house, I had to work with a lot of wood (overlapping the attic, rafter system).
✔ During this time, I realized one thing: wood is a fickle thing. If today everything is beautiful and even, then it is not a fact that it will be the same in a few years.
And a wooden floor in general, 100% will require constant repair, due to constant external influences.
But it looks like a solution to the issue has been "drawn" ...
It turns out that there are self-leveling mixtures not only for concrete floors, but also for wooden surfaces.
- They can be used both for a new floor, for elimination of defects, and for protection.
- So it is for the repair and restoration of old structures.
It is based on cement with various additives that give the coating the desired properties: increased strength and tensile strength. And it is important that the description indicates what can be used for wooden surfaces.
There are some nuances in the work.
❗❗❗ Preparation is an important step.
- It is necessary to make the differences minimal, and to close up all the cracks.
- Secure all moving parts (for example, if there are squeaks or deflections somewhere).
- Clean off dirt, dust off the surface and treat with primer for better adhesion.
As a result, you should get an even, durable coating, which, moreover, does not load the structure of the house (in comparison with a screed).
But somehow I still have doubts ...
How will this bond of cement to wood behave over time? So far, I have not met real reviews about long-term operation.
Maybe everything is fine in the pictures on the Internet, but in reality, as always, there are nuances ???
Friends, what do you think about this technology? Write your opinion in the comments, and if you have experience of use, then be sure to share.
