Features of a bulk floor Ceresit

Currently, a self-leveling floor is very relevant, which allows you to prepare the surface for further installation. Of the majority of brands is to provide bulk floor Ceresit. The development of this product belongs to the legendary concern "Henkel", which has existed on the market for more than a hundred years.

Ceresit self-leveling floor is sold in hermetic packages, mainly in bags, packed in 25 kg. Thanks to the unique additives that add viscosity to the composition of the mixture, Ceresit allows you to even the perfect surface, filling the smallest gaps and holes.

The structure of the surface will be smooth, without the slightest relief. There is a manual method of application, and mechanical. This mixture has excellent adhesion to various types of hard surfaces.If you decide to lay linoleum, carpet, laminate or tile, then preparing the floor with this product is the perfect choice. Also, Ceresit will help improve the thermal insulation of floors before laying the main coating, filling in cracks and holes.

Let us turn to the main characteristics of the product. The mixture sets with a coating in half an hour. It hardens no earlier than in 7–8 hours, therefore, it is forbidden to walk on the surface before this happens. The temperature in the room should be kept in the range from +5 to +30 degrees .. Also, the temperature should not exceed +70 degrees for the same reasons.

No more than 80% humidity in the room is allowed. Proportions of solution preparation: 180 ml of water are required for 1 kg of the mixture. You can stir both manually and mechanically. It is very important not to disrupt the process if you want to achieve the desired result.

It is worth noting that the preparation of the surface before applying the mixture is very important. The floors are cleaned from the smallest debris, grease stains (oils), glue, which can worsen the adhesion of the product and the surface.

With inadequate preparation, flaking and cracking are possible. The height difference on the surface should not exceed three millimeters. Then it is primed with a special primer with deep penetration. In order to avoid the flow of the mixture outside the room, you can install a homemade nut at the exit, which is covered with a waterproofing film.

Now consider the process of pouring self-leveling floor Ceresit. It is divided into two main stages.

• First stage - This is the direct preparation of the solution. Water is poured into a clean, defatted container and the mixture is poured. The proportions are indicated in the annotations to use. Be extremely attentive.

Depending on the type of mixture, they are different. The solution is stirred until it remains lumps and bubbles. To speed up the process, you can use a mixer. Water should be added to the mixture, and not vice versa.

• Second phase: the resulting mixture begins to pour strips on the surface of the base. At the same time you need to start from the far corner of the room, moving to the exit. The width of the casting strip is about 30-50 cm.Next, using a spatula, the mixture is spread on the floor. It is very important not to miss the hard-to-reach spots on the surface for the best filling with the solution of various cracks.

When the whole room is treated with a solution, it is necessary to get rid of bubbles that appear with air. To do this, use special rollers with needles, as well as special shoes, the sole of which is equipped with needles. This is necessary for better adhesion of the solution and the surface.

Next, we consider in detail the popular types of Ceresit self-leveling floors:

• CN-69. It is optimum for works with a surface from sandy solution. The main flooring can be linoleum, PVC plates, laminate, ceramic plate, carpet. On the layer of the mixture with a thickness of 1 mm is consumed 1.8 kg per 1 square meter. The cost of the product (bag of 25 kg) is about 230 rubles.
• CN-7. Used for working with various surfaces, mainly in industrial buildings. It has very good adhesion (adhesion to the surface) and durability. Among the shortcomings, it is worth noting the high price of the product, approximately 500 rubles per 25 kg. 1.7 kg per 1 square meter is spent on a layer of a mixture 1 mm thick.
• CN-8. Mainly used to repair exterior surfaces of buildings. Of the merits, it is worth noting a more flexible temperature framework than the others, resistance to climate change. On the layer of the mixture with a thickness of 1 mm consumes 2 kg per 1 square meter. The average price for 25 kg is 240 rubles.
• CN-278. Mainly used for work with ties, easy leveling. The base must be rigid, the minimum layer thickness is 1.5 centimeters. The lowest price is about 150 rubles per 25 kg. Laying on a separating layer is possible, but on condition of thickness from 4 centimeters.

Ceresit self-leveling floors are widely used because of the mass advantages:

• ideo, you will see the casting of the SaDanned floors very well “take a punch” in terms of abrasion and other mechanical effects on them.
• This product can be used in the system of warm floors, as the maximum allowable temperature reaches +70 degrees.
• It is worth noting the ease of application. Even a novice repairman, having read the instructions, will easily cope with the task.

Feedback on self-leveling mix Ceresit is mostly positive. Consumption is minimal, dries quickly, and the final version exceeds all expectations.

These floors do not require shrinkage. They have a very small specific weight, which allows them to be poured onto a not very solid surface. Of the drawbacks, it is worth noting only a short period of solidification. Therefore, it is good to analyze the situation before pouring in order to avoid the need to move on the flooded floor.
