Nowadays, self-leveling cement floors are becoming more and more popular. They are used in a variety of styles: industrial style, log style, post-modern style, Nordic style, Japanese style... This makes many young generations eager to make a move. ?
Many times the house we buy is not a first-hand house, but a second-hand house. The original house has some flooring and some tile floors. So for the tile floor, if we pry it off and make a new self-leveling cement floor, It must consume a lot of labor. You must know that in today's society, labor is much more expensive than materials. So if we don't pry off the tiles, can we make self-leveling cement directly on the tile floor? ?
Jiang Gu uses his many years of construction experience to tell you that you can make self-leveling cement directly on the tile floor. So what should we do? ?
Step one: Polish the tile floor? There are two purposes of polishing: one is to remove attachments (wax water, etc.) on the tile surface, and the other is to increase the roughness of the tile surface. ?
Step 2: Vacuum?
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove excess dust and loose materials from the floor.
Step 3: Roll-coat special interface agent on ceramic tiles? German Henkel R766 interface agent: specially used for non-absorbent base (ceramic tiles, stone) surfaces.
Step 4: Construction of self-leveling cement?
It is recommended to hire a professional construction company for self-leveling construction, because the self-leveling cement floor is an integral floor that is formed on site at one time. After many years of construction experience of the Gujiang construction team, the self-leveling construction of the surface layer is very technical and difficult because of the inconsistent amount of water added to the self-leveling cement, different construction thicknesses, construction speeds, temperatures, humidity, and Uneven absorption of the base layer, etc. will affect the final result. ?
Step 5: Surface protection of self-leveling cement?
Self-leveling cement is an inorganic porous material. In order to make it easier to take care of in daily use, it is generally recommended to install it on the self-leveling cement surface. The flat surface should be painted with water-based polyurethane, vegetable oil, water wax, etc. for sealing or semi-sealing treatment.
