Flat floor
In order for the apartment to have an even floor and did not have to put anything under the leg of the sofa or cabinet, it is necessary to make a screed of the floor. There are several ways to align the floor, they are selected depending on the difference in height. In order to determine such changes, it is necessary to dismantle the old coating.
If the level of the height of the floor fluctuates within 1-2 centimeters, then the ideal option is the classic screed of a cement-sand mixture or concrete. For this, a special powder is purchased, which is diluted with water. This mixture of water and cement dries for several hours. The monolithic screed is rightfully considered the most strong and durable, but it is necessary to completely dry the screed, otherwise the leveling coating will lose its properties.
If the level of the difference is slightly more than two centimeters, a dry screed is used. This is a rather economical way in which sheets of fiberboard, chipboard, drywall stides or plywood are laid on the floor. The flooring is laid after the special glue dries, which fastened these plates. This is a fairly quick way to align the floor.
The prefabricated screed is used for significant irregularities in the floor. It is carried out as follows: expanded clay, which is an environmentally friendly material obtained by firing red clay, and a screed from cement is covered on the floor. Such a screed also serves good sound insulation.
