"Volma-Leveler Express" flooring: characteristics, instructions and references

Modern types of floor coverings require a perfectly flat rough base, on which to lay them. In most cases, the surface in front of the finish finish should be leveled with a small layer. To do this, use special mixtures for the floor Volgograd company "Volma". They are quality and affordable.

Volma's product range

Volgograd trade mark, which sells mixtures for the floor, provides consumers with a wide range of different finishing materials in containers of 10, 15 and 20 kg. All products receive positive feedback from consumers and are in high demand. All this is achieved by the company due to the high quality of materials and low cost. The most popular and widely used are dry mixes for leveling the concrete floor "Volma-Leveler Express".

Dry mixture for finishing leveling floors "Level Plus"

The "Volma" floor is used to form the finishing coat before laying the flooring materials. The mixture is based on gypsum with quartz sand as a filler. The composition also includes polymeric, astringent and modifying components that impart plasticity to the solution. The mixture is used only in indoor spaces. The thickness of the layer can vary from 7 to 100 mm.

Technical characteristics of "Volma-Leveler Express":

• Setting time from 4 to 6 hours. Varies depending on the ambient temperature and the humidity level in the room.
• The bond strength with the rough surface is 2 MPa.
• Fully floors ripen within a week and a half a maximum (depending on the thickness of the layer).
• The finished base can withstand up to 16 MPa.

The price of one package is small - about 100-200 rubles for 20 kg of dry mix "Volma-Leveler Express." Consumption is also low: with a layer thickness of 10 mm, this mass is sufficient for 4-4.5 m2 ^of surface. Compared with similar compositions of other brands Volgograd products are much more profitable. At the same time, its characteristics are similar, and in some cases even higher.

Preparation of the working surface

Most of the leveling mixes, including the bulk floor "Volma", are intended for leveling cement-sand or concrete screeds.

Preliminary preparation of such surfaces includes:

1. Cleaning the base of construction debris, dust and dirt.
2. The existing cracks expand, deformed areas and the remains of the old coating are removed.
3. Secondary cleaning of the surface from dust is carried out.
4. Apply a layer of a primer of deep impregnation. This is done only once. It is advisable to purchase a primer from the same manufacturer. The composition is applied using a paint roller.
5. After the primer layer has dried, a damper belt is placed around the perimeter of the room.

Preparation of the solution

A dry mixture "Volma-Leveler Express" is supplied in packages of 20 kg. In order to prepare a solution, this volume of material requires about 6 liters of clean water. It is advisable to use a cold liquid. About 60 minutes the viability of the ready-made solution "Volma-Leveler Express" lasts. The characteristics of the mixture do not deteriorate after this time, but it becomes more difficult to work with it. In an hour, it is desirable to distribute the finished solution over the surface. If it is planned to process a large area, then initially it needs to be divided into several technological areas.

In the previously prepared capacity, the volume of water indicated on the package of the mixture is poured. Then, gradually and in small portions, a dry material is poured from the bag. It is necessary to stir the mixture after 3-5 minutes. During this time, the powder must be saturated with water. Mix the components with a construction mixer or drill with a special nozzle. After the first "shuffling", the mixture is left to stand for 5-10 minutes, after which it is stirred again. After the preparation of the solution, you can proceed to leveling the floors.

Working with a solution on the surface

Fill the finished mixture first into deeper potholes and cracks with a gradual transition to the elevations. It is advisable to do the whole work for two people. One will prepare the solution, the second - to fill. For leveling the composition, a needle roller on the telescopic handle and a spatula are usually used. The length of the studs should not be less than 30 mm.

Poured on the surface of the solution is spread with a spatula in such a way that the formed bands are located on top of each other. After reaching the edge of the restricted area or one of the sides of the room, the composition is several times passed by a needle roller. This is done to eliminate air bubbles from the mixture, to form an even surface by moving the solution and vibrations.

Before you start pouring a solution of "Volma-Leveler Express, you need to close the doors, windows and windows, so as not to create drafts. If not removed, they can cause cracks on the surface and reduce the strength of the finished floors.

After four hours from the moment of pouring the floor on it you can move, after two days you can start laying ceramic tiles. Laminate or linoleum only after complete drying of the surface.

Advantages of bulk floors "Volma"

The products manufactured by the Volgograd company, in comparison with other trademarks, have the following advantages:

• With the correct dilution of the dry mixture, the finished solution has a liquid consistency. The density of the composition can be controlled by adding pure water. Work with the solution is greatly facilitated by the fact that it is independently distributed over the surface.
• Low price of dry mix compared to imported brands. Despite this, the composition has proved itself at a sufficiently high level and has earned popularity among consumers.
• The composition includes polymer components that increase the life of the coating and increase its strength. After 7-14 days - the full term of the mixture hardening - the coating is able to withstand loads of 12 MPa.
• Processing of "Volma" mixtures is carried out both manually and automatically. Other self-leveling floors are suitable for only one treatment method.

Feedback from consumers about the products of the company "Volma"

Dry brand mixes are among the most popular and widespread among similar products. Many reviews of consumers about the filling field "Volma-Leveler Express" emphasize only positive qualities of the solution - a small price, convenience of work, average consumption of the composition per square meter of surface, the ability to self-level on the base, high strength of the finished coating. However, many consumers note that one of the advantages of the composition - fast time of solidification - can be attributed to minuses. Especially for those who can not carry out all the work in a short time. Despite this, the finished surface is perfectly smooth and suitable for subsequent finishing and laying of floor coverings.
