First of all, bulk floor is durability, durability and simplicity. The reason of popularity and demand of bulk floor is in its main qualitative advantages, and still – in possibility of broad application in any rooms from apartments and offices to rooms of warehouse. Here It should be noted that bulk floor maintains extreme loadings and therefore it can widely be applied on any production.
Types of bulk floor
All bulk floors can be separated into two views: finishing polymeric coverings and the leveled couplers which differ on way of laying of floor. It should be noted at once that the tie represents dry sand and cement mix to which various polymers are added. Inherently, the bulk floor made by means of the leveling tie is only basis under linoleum or other type of floor covering. Generally the tie is applied as alignment of floor at offices and premises with average load scale.
And here bulk polymeric floor is the material created on the basis of such components as polyurethane, epoxide and others. These mixes put with method of filling and use for creation of final top layer of floor covering. Polymeric floor differs in high wear resistance and durability while its thickness can not exceed only several millimeters.
Production technique of bulk mixes allows to create not only mixes of various flowers, but also polymeric floor with addition of glitter which provides additional decorative properties. The most widespread polymers which are applied to production of bulk floors it is epoxy and polyurethane substances. At what, experts note that polyurethane has bigger elasticity and as a result longer term of operation. As for epoxy floor, it is unstable to temperature drops and therefore it cannot be applied in not heated rooms. Besides bulk floor can be made of cement and acrylic mix. But the technology of laying of polymeric cement and acrylic floor requires use of dry construction mixes. Thus, bulk polymeric floor is finishing layer of floor covering which has number of positive properties. First of all, it should be noted fire safety of bulk floor. And still, bulk polymeric floor it: tightness, unpretentiousness in leaving, simplicity of laying, moisture-proofness, durability, reliability, durability and original exterior. Important advantage is also the fact that bulk floor easily is under repair. Besides polymeric mix is eco-friendly construction material which can be applied to arrangement of floor even in the children's room.
It is necessary to begin work on filling from distant wall and to move to exit. It will save from differences of thickness of bulk layer. Besides, experts recommend to flood the room for time without stops.
Technology of laying of bulk floor
Today even the smallest apartment can be equipped with bulk floor. And this advantage, undoubtedly, cannot but attract buyers. It should be noted positive review of experts about bulk polymeric floor as the excellent decision for registration of floor of the closed loggias and the warmed balconies. So, for independent laying of bulk floor you should stock up with some tool and to work in several stages. Originally prepare floor surface, then carry out filling and let's floor dry. Here, actually, and all process, but also here is the small nuances. It is necessary to fill in floor on correctly prepared basis. The stage of preparation of basis implies preliminary works, namely: cleaning of old covering (linoleum, laminate, tile and so forth), removal of plinths and if it is necessary – interroom doors. Then from surface of floor remove residues of glue, concrete and water-soluble mixes. For this purpose it is possible to use the grinder or special metal brush. Open all possible V figurative cracks, using scraper. Check horizontal position of basis and if gaps exceed several millimeters – as much as possible level surface. If walls of the room are covered with old plaster, then it should be removed from floor height on 20-25 cm. After that on wall it is possible to make elevation number of future bulk floor. Further, the prepared basis of floor should be cleaned carefully from all garbage, including dust, and by means of powder to degrease surface. Then, applying glue putty, it is necessary to process all hollow slots, cracks and gaps. Direct filling of floor begins only after the basis is ready. It is better to fill in floor together: while one spills mix, the second prepares the next portion of solution, thus, providing the continuity of process and high quality of future floor. That polymeric weight was distributed evenly, use the wide palette, trying to observe layer thickness at the same time. Experts recommend to roll floor surface from time to time the needle roller which helps to remove the air which has accidentally got to mix.
Correctly to check horizontal position of floor, experts recommend to use two-meter rail.
You should not forget that direct sunshine, drafts and sharp temperature drops can harm fresh polymeric covering of bulk floor. In this regard, until polymeric mix hardens, it is necessary to think of creation of appropriate conditions in advance. In case you used not polymeric mix, but tie on which you will put the main covering, observe certain terms for laying of top layer. So the ceramic tile can be laid on the basis only in three days, and wooden parquet – in week. The Svezhenanesenny polymeric covering dries within 6-12 hours then on it it is already possible to move.
