Can I align the screed with the Ceresit CN-69 equalizer?
Almost 1.5 months ago, the screed was poured on the ground floor in a new house (on the second floor I have a wooden floor). The work was carried out by a team of builders. As I understand it, you can safely begin to align it. For these purposes I plan to use a leveler, that is, I will arrange, as I was told in the store, "self-leveling floors." I am briefly interested in the main accents of this technology - can I independently cope with this work. I read about it here and it turns out that this is a rather labor-consuming and very responsible process, and the consultant in the store assured me that I can do everything myself. Material purchased - Ceresit CN-69.
Your doubts are very clear to us. In fact, “self-leveling floors” is the term for talented marketers who have excellently organized the promotion of this category of products on the building materials market. And the whole secret in one single prefix "itself." It misleads people, because the name gives the impression that human intervention in the process of creating a perfectly smooth surface is minimal.
Perhaps we will disappoint you, but despite the fact that in our time technologies have really reached unprecedented heights, many construction processes have not become fully automated. Of course, working with a leveler is somewhat simpler than performing a cement-sand screed, but some efforts will still have to be made.
Now essentially your question. You can independently apply the leveler, of course. On our site you will find the most detailed instructions on how to do this correctly. The Ceresit CN-69 self-leveling, quick-setting mixture of your choice has proven itself in practice. The only condition to pay attention to is the estimated layer thickness.
This leveler is suitable for final finishes from 3 to 15 mm thick. It is supplied to consumers in 25 kg bags. For one such bag, 4.25 liters of water is enough to prepare a quality composition. So that in the process of work without constantly measuring out the required amount of water, it is worth pouring the measured quantity once into a 5 liter plastic bottle and marking the desired level with a marker. This will greatly simplify the process of manufacturing the solution. In addition, during the execution you will need a needle roller with a long handle, a mixer and a container for mixing the mixture.
