How to find the best way to install a floor in a stalin apartment?
I bought an apartment in very poor condition (Stalin's house). Everything is clear with the walls - bypass with drywall and wallpaper, but I haven’t decided how to deal with the floor yet. Around the boardwalk, all deformed and rotten. I’ve already taken it off in the kitchen, I see that it is necessary to dismantle everything both logs and beams. It’s necessary to make a screed, but I’m afraid to fill in the neighbors - the floor slab in the cracks. And time is running out, and the screed, because it dries for a long time. Now we live in rental housing. Tell me, the most optimal way to install floors in this case?
In your situation, the option with a semi-dry screed device is absolutely obvious. It is the process of its implementation that implies the minimum possible amount of water when mixing the solution. The device of such a coupler will allow you to solve two problems that concern you:
- Minimizes the risk of excess water entering through a damaged floor slab to neighbors below. With its device, the use of waterproofing is not a mandatory step, since water makes up only 30% of the total amount of solution.
- The full drying time will be significantly reduced, that is, to create the final coating, you can do it faster. After 4 days, you can begin work on laying the final floor.
By means of a semi-dry screed you can achieve a very smooth surface, which is perfect for laying any floor covering:
- parquet;
- laminate flooring;
- linoleum;
- tiles, etc.
Important! Really high-quality semi-dry screed will be made if a trowel is used in the process. It is in this case that you can not be afraid that voids and cracks form in the screed.
The use of special dry mixtures for the manufacture of a solution of semi-dry screed allows to achieve high strength with a relatively small layer thickness. The resulting base, due to the fiber content, is resistant to mechanical stress, as well as impact resistance. And with all this, such a screed exerts insignificant loads on the supporting structures. It is possible to carry out work at a temperature regime of -5 ... + 400WITH.
