During the work, as well as during the drying period of the solution, the air temperature in the room should be within the range from +5 to +30 ° C and the humidity level should not exceed 75%.

Foundation preparation

The base must be strong, dry, have a bearing capacity. It is necessary to remove crumbling elements, paint coatings, oil, bituminous stains and other contaminants from the surface that prevent adhesion of the material to the surface.

Treat the base surface with a primer "UNIS" in 1-2 layers. Do not allow dusting of primed surfaces.

Before applying the solution around the perimeter of the vertical surfaces of the room, it is necessary to lay an edge tape for self-leveling floors. The width of the tape is selected depending on the expected thickness of the leveling layer.

Before applying the mortar mixture, install beacons on the base and adjust them to the required layer thickness using a level.

Solution preparation

To prepare the solution, pour 3.4 liters of clean water into a plastic tank with a capacity of 50-125 liters, then pour 1/3 bag of dry mix and mix. Then pour the remaining dry mixture and mix until a homogeneous mass is obtained for 1-3 minutes. Let the solution stand for 1-2 minutes and stir again. Mixing is recommended to be done mechanically: a professional mixer or a drill with a nozzle. If necessary, add water, but not more than 1 liter, or dry mix. For large areas, mixing and application with mixing and blowing machines is recommended. The prepared portion of the solution should be used up within 30 minutes.

Attention! When preparing the solution, the ratio "dry mixture-water" must be observed.

It is not allowed to add other components to the dry mix, except for water. The addition of any components, including water, to an already prepared solution leads to a change in the properties of the material declared by the manufacturer. To prepare the solution, use only clean containers and tools.

Material application

The prepared solution is poured onto the base. Next, the poured composition is carefully leveled, spreading over the entire surface of the floor. Not later than 20 minutes from the moment of mixing the first portion, the next portion of the solution is poured onto the surface and leveled with the rule. Each new portion of the solution is poured onto the base at a distance necessary for spontaneous merging of spreading mixtures.

When applying by machine, set the initial water flow to more than 4.8 liters. per 1 bag of the mixture, then adjust the consistency of the mortar mixture by changing the amount of water to 3.8-4.4 liters. for 1 bag of mixture. Apply the solution evenly on the base until the specified level is reached, additionally distributing it with a rule or a rail. The pouring area is selected based on the fact that the time of use of the prepared mortar mixture is 30 minutes, and the mortar mixture applied to the surface must be processed for 10 minutes.

When applying by machine, hoses and mechanisms must be rinsed with water no later than 30 minutes after stopping the machine.

In the production of work for movement on the surface of the flooded floor (up to 30 minutes from the moment the solution is prepared), it is recommended to use specialized shoes with studded soles.

Installation of beacons

When leveling surfaces with a layer of 5 to 20 mm, it is recommended to use self-tapping screws as beacons. Using a level around the entire perimeter of the room, screws are fixed into the base or marks are made on the side walls of the room. Self-tapping screws are screwed into the floor surface in a checkerboard pattern at a distance of 0.7-1 m from each other. The distance between the screws should be no more than half the length of the rule or trowel used for leveling. The correctness of the installation of self-tapping screws is checked by the level.

When leveling surfaces with a layer of 20 to 100 mm, using a level around the entire perimeter of the room, screws are fixed into the base or marks are made on the side walls of the room. Then strings of annealed wire with a diameter of 1 mm are pulled between the walls.

Material application

When carrying out construction work, it is necessary to solve many issues and look for the best way out in solving a particular problem. Creating an ideal floor surface is one of the most important stages of the repair.

In specialized stores you can see an extensive range of self-leveling floors, but it is necessary to make a choice depending on a number of factors. Self-leveling floor Eunice will be an excellent solution, but you need to choose the optimal composition.

Classification by purpose:

• For industrial buildings and factories;
• For warehouses, garages, basements;
• For living rooms;
• For kitchens, dining rooms and bathrooms.

For rooms with high humidity, a universal solution with a waterproof composition is ideal. The floor in living rooms should be durable, strong and aesthetic in appearance. Decorating floors are relevant for living rooms, halls and corridors.

Masters for such a surface can create an elegant backlight or even apply a three-dimensional image. Recently, multi-level floors have become popular, which are also created using this bulk material.

The composition of the mixture may include crushed pebbles, chalk and even quartz sand. Depending on the scope of application, the list of constituent elements also varies. The proportions also change.

To create a wear-resistant and durable floor, it is necessary to properly dilute the mixture and observe all the nuances of the fill. The packaging instruction is devoted to the algorithm for creating a self-leveling floor.

Mounting algorithm

Before creating the perfect screed, it is necessary to prepare a rough surface. If the pouring will be carried out on a plank floor, you need to remove the cracked paint and pay attention to whether the nail heads protrude. With a concrete subfloor, everything is just as simple. It is required to remove dirt using a vacuum cleaner and a damp cloth.

In order to correctly and efficiently fill the unis self-leveling screed, you need to acquire the necessary tools. Builders with experience advise not to do this work alone, since considerable physical strength is required to mix the solution and distribute it over the surface. What will be the cost depends on a number of nuances.

First of all, the quadrature of the room plays a role and how thick the surface will be. If there are large irregularities in the subfloor, it will be necessary to fill in a thicker layer. When creating a multi-level floor, the surface thickness will be even greater.

Most often, a centimeter self-leveling floor is made. It optimally conceals irregularities and steals height insignificantly. The consumption of the mixture in this case will be equal to - 16 kg per 1 sq.m.

From the equipment you will need:

• drill with a special nozzle in the form of a mixer;
• needle spatula;
• construction roller;
• damper tape;
• required capacity.

To create the horizon solution itself, you will need a Horizon Eunice self-leveling floor and clean water in the required amount. In order for the end result to please both yourself and the household, it is necessary to strictly observe the proportions. Otherwise, the floor will crack from the slightest physical impact, and will bubble when poured.

The instructions for the composition describe the entire algorithm of work and kneading. It is necessary to carefully measure the water, since its lack or excess will negatively affect the final result.

In a pre-prepared container, a universal solution horizon unis is diluted. For correct measurement, it is recommended to use a measuring cup or mug. The mixing process cannot be performed without a construction mixer or a classic drill with a similar attachment.

The kneading process will not take much time, but it will take a lot of physical strength. It should be understood that the finished mixture will begin to solidify after 35-40 minutes, so you need to have time to fill and level.

To create a floor in a large room, you will need to knead the composition several times. In order to successfully distribute the self-leveling floor, several pairs of hands are required. Beacons, exposed around the perimeter, will allow you to correctly fill. The floor will dry only after a day, and only after that it will be possible to start laying the floor covering.

Benefits and important aspects

Self-leveling floor Horizon Eunice boasts a number of advantages:

• high quality screed;
• adequate cost of the solution;
• ease of installation;
• fast curing speed.

Due to the above advantages of the mix, Horizon is in demand in the construction market. Modern building markets can boast of a good range of self-leveling floors.

The domestic manufacturer Gorizont is not inferior in quality to its Western counterparts. And the affordable price makes the product relevant and in demand everywhere and all year round. The end result will please you with high quality and colossal durability, but subject to the thorough observance of the attached instructions.

The needle spatula plays an important role in the process of pouring the horizon mixture, since it can be used to level the poured universal mortar. Many inexperienced builders consider the use of a damper tape inappropriate, but this is a delusion. With its help, the screed will have additional thermal insulation.

In addition, the damper is designed to take on vibrations during physical impact on the screed. The consumption for a standard room will be no more than one 10-meter roll. Without the use of this tape, the floor may crack after a few months.

Installation of this building material is carried out immediately before pouring. It is recommended to purchase a tape with an adhesive side, since it takes a few minutes to attach it.

The described mixture for creating a self-leveling floor is an excellent choice for those who appreciate high quality and reasonable cost.

For the arrangement of floors, they were originally developed for large-sized industrial premises. Today, such materials are used everywhere. They are also used by private developers, and their high popularity is due to the easy application technology and shortened curing time.

Today, these compositions are widely used to form floors in children's and medical, as well as entertainment facilities, shopping and sports centers. On sale you can find self-leveling floors in a wide range, some of them contain cement, others are methyl acrylate, while others are polyurethane.

You can also purchase epoxy mixtures, the latter of which are based on organic materials. These floors are poured when it is necessary that the coating correspond to the rigid physical, mechanical and chemical properties. Among others, there is a self-leveling floor "Horizon Eunice" for sale, which will be discussed below.

Advantages of self-leveling floor

If you still do not know whether it is worth buying a self-leveling floor of the aforementioned brand, then you should deal with its main advantages, including:

• seamless surface;
• universality;
• antistatic properties;
• resistance to chemicals;
• formation of an optimal microclimate in the room.

This list can be supplemented with operational durability, high decorative possibilities and compatibility with underfloor heating systems. The self-leveling floor "Horizon Eunice" eliminates the possibility of accumulation of dirt and is not a favorable surface for the settlement of microorganisms. Caring for such a base is quite simple, because it does not allow moisture to pass through, thanks to this, the operational life of the floors is extended.

You can use the floor in a room for any purpose, which indicates its versatility. It is also worth highlighting the antistatic properties, due to which dust does not settle on the base. Self-leveling floors can be used when exposed to chemicals, they are resistant to ultraviolet, radiation and fire.

Indoors, with their help, you can create an ideal microclimate for a person, because the floors do not emit dust, do not spread toxins and are not able to affect the change in humidity levels. As for the smell, you can not worry, because it disappears within 2 hours after pouring.

Main disadvantages

The self-leveling floor "Horizon Eunice" can be chosen by you if you familiarize yourself not only with the advantages, but also with the main disadvantages. Among the latter, a meager selection of colors and patterns should be highlighted. In addition, before starting work, it will be necessary to prepare a rough coating, level the surface and control the level of humidity.

After pouring and drying the composition, it will be quite difficult to cope with the dismantling of the layer. Sometimes consumers refuse self-leveling floors also because of their high cost and complexity of repair. Installing such coatings is also quite expensive, this is true when compared with conventional floor solutions.

Instructions for using the floor "Horizon Eunice"

Self-leveling floor "Horizont Eunice" is designed to prepare smooth, durable surfaces on which, at the next stage, a decorative floor covering or a thin-layer self-leveling floor will be laid. The composition is universal, because it can be used for interior or exterior work. The mixture is suitable for wet and dry rooms, and can also be used in conjunction with underfloor heating systems.

Surface preparation

"Eunice Horizon" universal should be applied to a previously prepared surface. When carrying out work at the stage of drying the composition, it is necessary to observe the air temperature in the range from +5 to +30 ° C, while the humidity level should not exceed 75%.

It is important to make sure that the base is dry and strong. Before application, crumbling elements, oil and bituminous stains, paint coatings and other contaminants that could interfere with the adhesion of materials are removed from the surface.

"Eunice Horizon" universal should be applied to a primed surface, which should not be dusty. Cracks and potholes, the depth of which is more than 10 cm, must be repaired with a Horizont screed, this must be done three days before the start of the main work. Vertical surfaces must be covered with edge tape before installation around the perimeter of the room. Its width should be chosen depending on the expected thickness of the future layer.

Solution preparation

Solution "Unis Horizon" must be prepared beforehand. To do this, the dry mixture is placed in a container with clean water. For 1 kg of the composition, approximately 0.14 liters of water will be needed. The mixture is then stirred until a homogeneous mass is obtained.

This can be done in a mechanized way, using the set at low speed. Manual mixing is permissible if the mass of the mixture does not exceed 1 kg. The solution is then left for 5 minutes, and then re-mixed. The prepared portion must be used up within 120 minutes.

Important to remember

The mixing of the solution must be carried out according to a certain technology; it excludes the addition of other components to the dry mixture, except for water. It is no longer possible to add water to the finished solution, this may cause a change in the properties of the material. For this process, it is recommended to use only clean tools and containers.

Drying time and some technical data

Hardening time is a parameter that most consumers are interested in. If the thickness of the laid layer is 10 mm, then this period can last from 2 to 5 days. It will be possible to walk on the surface with the same layer thickness after 6 hours.

The thickness of the laid layer can vary from 10 to 50 mm. For 1 m 2 with the above parameters, it will take about 20 kg of dry mix. The frost resistance of the composition is 35 cycles, while the compressive strength is 200 kg / cm².

Carrying out alignment

As soon as the solution is ready, it can be laid out on the surface, evenly distributing the rule over the base. Laying ceramic tiles after completion of work is possible only after the surface has dried. If the floor has differences of more than 50 mm, then it should be applied in several layers. Before proceeding with laying the next layer, it is necessary to wait for the previous one to dry completely, which will take 28 days. Before this, the surface is treated with soil and dust-free.

Installation instructions for the floor "Horizon 2"

"Horizon 2" is a composition that is designed for thin-layer leveling of surfaces with subsequent laying of parquet, linoleum, laminate and ceramic tiles. If the differences on the floor do not exceed 5 mm, then the installation of beacons is not required. The prepared portion must be poured, and then rolled with a spiked roller. The next portion of the solution must be poured no later than 20 minutes from the moment the mixture is closed. Each new portion must be poured away from the previous one so that the mixture can spontaneously spread.

"Horizon 2" may be flooded with some interruptions. This is true if the area is more than 100 m 2. At the same time, 2-cm seams are left between the areas to be poured, which are filled with a spatula 6 hours after applying the last portion of the solution.

The composition of the floor "Horizon"

The composition of the self-leveling floor is of interest to some experts. If you are one of them, then you should know that among the ingredients are:

• polymer additives;
• crushed limestone.

If we compare cement from the Horizon mixture, then in chemical composition it will not differ from Portland cement, however, during its manufacture, the clinker is crushed more strongly, so the particle size is 2 times smaller. This allows cement to gain strength up to 60% in just 5 hours. However, after that, the process slows down and proceeds normally. That is why we can assume that the composition of the self-leveling floor determines some of the characteristics of the described mixture.

floor cost

Usually, when calculating the price of a material, the cost of the composition for puttying and sealing cracks, as well as the mixture for washing technological containers and tools, is not taken into account. The cost of self-leveling floor per square meter is 400 rubles. It does not indicate the price for the primer composition, which must be applied before starting work.

Conclusion

The cost of a self-leveling floor per square meter is one of the most important factors that affects the final choice of the consumer. If you have already purchased a floor leveling compound, you must remember that it must be used after the installation of the beacons. They are located at a distance of 2 m from each other across the entire width of the surface.

To do this, at the intended installation site of the beacons, it is necessary to apply the Horizon solution, into which the elements are pressed. They can be a metal corner or a tube. Correct installation must be checked using the building level. Further work should be carried out 5 hours after the installation of the beacons.
