How to fill in your own self leveling floor screed

Repair floor - the procedure is complicated and complex, it includes not only the decoration but also the rough alignment. That phase alignment is the most difficult part of the event. To simplify the process, in order to equalize possible to use special leveling or self-leveling solutions. Treat them more easily than with a concrete structure.

1. Preparation of a draft surface

To qualitatively pour self-leveling compound, must first dismantle the previous finishes and old tie. Floor slab, which is present underneath may contain various defects. It pays special attention to cracks, which are necessary to apply a small amount of ordinary concrete solution.

It is also desirable to waterproofing by means of bitumen-polymer compositions. If the owner wants to do without waterproofing, it must apply the primer to the entire working surface area. Primer reduce porosity rough base, so self-leveling solution will dry evenly.

2. Pouring the solution Self Leveling

Leveling floors this structure can be different. If floor space is small, you can simply pour the composition of the surface and distribute it evenly. For spacious rooms need to install beacons. Prior to this, on the perimeter of the room point zero at the height to which it is necessary to raise the screed. Simply do this by using a laser level. Above the highest point of the Self-leveling floor screed composition should rise to about 2 cm.

The composition is poured on the rough and smooth base. When using beacons solution was placed between the elements on one strip. Beacons eliminate at least fill and smooth the surface of the solution, so that it does not remain voids.

3. Work after the screed

A major advantage of self-leveling composition is that it dries very quickly. Usually enough 3-5 days to tie gained strength. When it is dry, you need to look and make sure that there are no minor irregularities. If they are, they need to be sanded down or wipe the skin. On a properly formed self leveling floor screed fit any floor covering.

The base, which can be obtained using such composition has high strength, a smooth surface, and creating too complex. However, for the very composition will have a lot to pay.
