Smooth floors are not only part of the splendor of the interior. It is also a practical necessity. Indeed, for most modern household appliances, one of the main requirements for installation is a clear horizontal. And if this condition is not met, then the equipment wears out faster. To make the surface even, you can use such modern technology as a filler floor.
What is a filler floor
Let's first understand what is hidden under such a concept as a filler floor. This is a special building mixture, the main purpose of which is to level the surface. This polymer coating provides an almost perfect surface without seams and flaws. It practically does not slip, so it can be used as an alternative to ceramics, tiles and natural stone when decorating a bathroom, bath or sauna. It is also used for arranging 3D floors, while its thickness isonly 3-4 mm.
Classification
There are a fairly large number of types of this product, which are divided according to various indicators.
According to the thickness of the polymer coating layer, they are divided into two types:
- highly filled;
- thin layer.
By the type of base they can be:
- solvent;
- water.
By electrical conductivity:
- non-conductive;
- conductive;
- conductive;
- anti-static.
According to the degree of smoothness, self-leveling floors are:
- smooth;
- moderately rough;
- rough.
Benefits
Attention to this type of coating is due to a number of advantages that it has:
- The absence of seams and gaps, due to which such an important effect as a smooth surface is achieved.
- Long service life, which on the filler floor is about 30-40 years.
- High wear resistance. First of all, this coating is focused on industrial premises, where there are appropriate requirements for this parameter. As for its use in residential premises, then according to this criterion, the self-leveling floor, reviews of which are only positive, has a huge advantage.
- This flooring is resistant to various mechanical and chemical influences.
- Another important indicator is resistance to suchexternal factors such as high humidity.
If we consider this coating from the point of view of safety, then incombustibility and non-toxicity can be distinguished as its distinctive characteristics. Dust-repellent properties can also be identified as one of the positive characteristics. It is also important that the filler floor does not require special care.
How much does self-leveling floor cost
The price of a filler floor varies greatly depending on the type of coating and the manufacturer. In the building materials market, this product is represented by various firms, both Russian and foreign. Therefore, the choice of material can be made according to personal preferences. As for the type of coverage, the final cost is calculated based on many indicators. This is the thickness, and the degree of smoothness, and electrical conductivity. All these factors affect the final price of the product.
