What is bulk floor
Bulk floor, or as it is called, liquid linoleum, most often is meant as finishing jointless surfacing. Only one view of the bulk floors which are especially executed in 3D technology cause desire to make the same and themselves. However, it is not surprising – this covering ideally equal, warm, graceful and easy. Moreover – such floor is also safe for health. It easily sustains the competition to other popular types of floors due to the wear resistance and lack of seams.
Floors 3D are most popular among bulk floors. Gemstones, flower glade, sea floor - your imagination is able to allow you to create the fashionable decor capable to blow the mind.
On the structure the bulk floors happen the following types:
- from metimetakrilovy pitches; - from epoxy resins; - cement and acrylic; - on the basis of polyurethane. All of them possess excellent operating ability, differing only at the price. On bulk floor there is no need to put something else. Exception is unless the most economic covering from this series - made on cement basis. Cement bulk floors are not finishing covering and are filled in provided that on them laminate, linoleum, parquet, carpet, etc. will be put further. The fact is that cement floors in comparison with coverings from polymeric materials do not contain the special, interfering abrasion mixes.
How to make bulk floor
The most important when mounting bulk floor – the correct preparation of the basis. The durability and beauty of future covering depends on this stage. And therefore the first that needs to be made before filling of floor is to clean the space for it. Simple sweeping and there will be not enough washing, on the basis of there should be no traces from old paints, glue, oils or other similar substances. All of them weaken coupling of the basis with future floor. All ledges and roughnesses are also removed and smooth out, and hollows zashpatlevyvatsya carefully. Only then you can be sure that new floor does not zapuzyritsya, and will become ideally plain surface. After cleaning of the basis all concrete surface is grounded, and the stage of forming of floor by means of the laser level and special indicators begins. After installation of guides of indicators the process of filling of floor begins. It can be done by means of the special unit. The roughness can eliminate with the wide palette, moving it from opposite wall on itself. That mix was distributed evenly, it is the best of all to flood each site separately. Thickness of future floor depends on initial characteristics of the basis.
All works have to be performed at relative humidity no more than 90% and at temperature not lower than +10 degree centigrades and not higher than +35.
After everything is done, floor cannot be touched. Besides, it is necessary to warn all possible options of hit of direct sunshine and drafts. Time of full drying of covering differs and depends on specific mix and the producer, but, as a rule, does not exceed three days.
