How to align the floor before laying linoleum or laminate their own hands. Easy and fast way.
Laying linoleum or laminate, as in other and any other floor covering need only be prepared on a flat base.
If we ignore this rule, the lifetime of the new flooring will be reduced significantly. And in addition, the laminate will begin to creak, and are clearly visible all the bumps on the base of the linoleum surface.
Therefore, in the process of laying can not do without floor leveling.
Currently, it can be done quickly and easily with your hands by using self-leveling mixture.
Root floor alignment process is necessary with a careful cleaning of the base from dust and dirt.
Cracks, chips and other defects is necessary to cover rotgipsom.
The next important milestone is floor primer.
With a roller coating uniformly applied to the entire surface of the subfloor.
It is best to put it into two layers because it provides reliable adhesion primer and a more uniform distribution of self leveling mixture.
After drying it is possible to proceed directly to the preparation of the mixture.
The proportions of its preparation is generally indicated by the manufacturer on the package, and may vary.
But in any case, to prevent caking mixture it is necessary to fall asleep in the water and not vice versa.
The process involves pouring the floor continuity of the process, as the mixture begins to thicken very rapidly.
Ready mixture is poured onto the base floor in small portions adjacent to each other and distributed over the bottom of spatula.
Using spiked roller are removed from the mixture formed air bubbles.
The mixture does not leak outside the room you need to make a barrier.
Polyurethane foam in this case is the perfect solution.
Self-leveling mixture hardens after a few hours, but laying laminate or linoleum is better to make all the same after drying in 2-3 days.
