Loose and binding materials and mixtures / | Veton Saga 2 |
If you remember, we wrote about the remarkable properties Vetonita. However, it concerns only one of its species – Vetonita floor. But as it turned out, in a family of materials called Vetonit includes also mixes for walls and ceilings, tile adhesives and many more. Knowing from experience that it is better to test all by yourself (to the same and the need for regular repairs overdue), I went to all the same, now familiar, shop for sweet and sympathetic counselor Misha.
To my surprise, he immediately recognized me (probably the last time I took him with the same ridiculous question). But hidden in the back I did not immediately went.
– Again the repair? – Misha asked sympathetically.
– Yes, only now the full program. And the floor and ceiling, and tile glue is necessary, – I complained to him.
– Well, nothing, nothing, – He consoled. – Now we'll pick up everything. Only the floor, then why Vetonit needed? You, I think, the last time it took the floor Vetonit?
– Yes, – I agreed, – but it – for a new apartment, we moved. She's in a terrible state, without repair – way.
– Do not be hasty, – Mike suggested a reasonable, adjusting his fashionable tie. – Start with CEILING. It you have any?
– White, – I said confidently.
– I mean, dry or wet, and that it: wallpaper, old plaster or a concrete base? And what are the walls? I ask why? For walls and ceilings, there are several kinds of putty, plaster and primer. Before you choose what you need, you need to determine what the basis in which the material will be used indoors (dry or wet), which is required layer thickness.
Working with screed Vetonit |
First of plaster. If you are renovating a bathroom, basement or other damp room, choose a plaster Vetonit TT , can not go wrong ($ 8.1). It is mixed with water in a ratio of 6 to 1 liter of water bag (25 kg). Mixing preferably within 1 minute, using a drill with a paddle. Then the solution was allowed 15 minutes and again mixed for about 30 seconds.
– I must say, – Misha said detailed, – that Vetonit TT – a mixture of universal and suitable for dry walls and ceilings. However, there is one detail: if the surface is very dry, it is necessary to moisten. In addition, it must be clean and free of dust, oil stains and also solid. And – do not forget to cover up anything doors and windows before you start work.
Four hours later, after the final mixing Vetonit TT can be applied to the surface. This is best done with a steel trowel or by spraying.
– I have nothing to be sprayed, it is better with a spatula, – I decided there and then.
– Trowel spatula, – Misha agreed accommodating. – Minimum layer – 2 mm, the maximum – 7 mm. And if you make a few layers, note: each layer has to dry completely, and this warning, take at least one day. Then the dried layer should be sanded and, if necessary, moisten again. In addition, it can be used to align stucco Vetonit B and Vetonit L (thickness of 1 to 3 mm).
And then Misha suddenly asked:
– By the way, why do you need all these details? Alone, perhaps, we decided to do the repair?
I waved her hands:
– No, of course, but I must see, but you know how it is & hellip;
Misha apparently knew because cheerfully continued:
– Once workers finish with primer, proceed to the second part of the ballet marlezonskogo.
– By putty? & Ndash; I clarified.
Mike looked at me with respect.
– Exactly. Fillers – the so-called « finishing » materials can be used as the final, finishing coat. These include Vetonit BX Vetonit KR and Vetonit LR (8,5 $ per piece). If you do not have wet rooms, the suit Vetonit KR or Vetonit LR . It is based on the adhesive material. Vetonit BX is good because it is more versatile and is suitable for bathrooms and other wet and dry areas, and therefore it is more expensive.
All these fillers perfectly lie on the walls and ceilings treated with plasters Vetonit B, A or TT . On the ceiling you can then do nothing at all, and the walls papered or paint as you wish. By the way, my advice to you: do not try to pour the remaining solution in the sink or toilet. Consequences simply unpredictable.
– And it is possible, for example, then put the tile?
– For this « finishing » coat does not fit, so it is not necessary. Enough Vetonita TT , only the surface should be well dried. I must say, all kinds of Vetonita have two very important qualities: they are easy and convenient to apply, and the whole process of preparing the material for use in minutes. And if chosen correctly, there is a saving of time and money.
– Understood. What to do with sex? Once stripped off his old linoleum floor turned the entire curve and oblique. Moreover, under the linoleum – bare concrete.
– Everything is simple, – Mike assured me. – transition to SEMI . Material again be chosen depending on conditions. Vetonity floor can be used for any base, especially for concrete. Our material is tested and rehearsed in the laboratory in Finland, taking into account the angle of the surface layer thickness and the setting time. Installs: 10 hours Application Vetonitu can walk. And in order to strengthen the top surface finish, it is enough to grind. I've already talked last time, but if forgotten how to do it correctly, I remind you.
So you have a concrete floor. So let us take a Vaateri Vetonit Plus (11,9 $). Beautiful versatile material, then it is possible to put any floor covering: tiles, parquet, laminate, cork, carpeting. You do that on the floor is?
– I do not know yet, – I wondered. – Probably in the kitchen – linoleum, and the rooms and hallway – some carpet & hellip; By the way, you remember, we were told about Vaateri Plus . There, if I am not mistaken, there are some subtleties in my opinion, this material should be vacuumed & hellip;
– That's right, – glad my retentive Misha. – But let us all in order. The substrate must be free of dust, oil and other water-soluble substances. If the concrete has a recess 20 mm, they need to close up Vetonitom 4000 or Vetonitom 5000 . Then you need to process the concrete primer (1 part of – 5 parts water). And just before the primer really carefully vacuumed the surface.
The initial priming rubbed into the base with a soft brush and dry for two hours. This padding is needed in order to better Vetonit clutched to the substrate, air bubbles do not occur and the water from Vetonita not left in the concrete. (Concrete, as is well known, the material is porous and absorbs water very well.)
Then you need to take a drill with paddle bag Vaateri Vetonit Plus , 5,5 – 6 liters of water. All mix 1 – 2 minutes and immediately spill on the floor. And I advise you to pour strips width of 30 – 40 cm – so the mixture is distributed better. For this exciting experience you need two people. One should pour, prepare the next portion of the other, because all the room necessary to try to fill in at a time. We recommend that you apply a layer of 4 to 20 mm. The next day, you can walk on the floor. A week or two and you can put linoleum or the coating, which decided to lay.
– By the way, what to do if suddenly decides to arrange at underfloor heating? It is now fashionable, and is really comfortable.
Michael kept his head:
– Vetonit Renoveyshn ! This is what you need. The same material is very popular, easy to use and cost-effective (its price is $ 11.8 per package). Use it to restore a variety of floors: wood, concrete, stone, tiled. And, of course, it is perfectly suitable for underfloor heating.
The rules applying virtually the same. Recommended application layer – from 4 to 30 mm. The dosage of the water is the same as that of the Vaateri Plus . Still I can recommend the Vetonit 3000 (11,9 $), finishing « rovnitel » for concrete floors. On it you can walk in 4 hours and floor – laid in a day or two. SUPER SAVER material.
But, sadly, can spoil any material. So tell you about the A common mistake .
first. It is necessary to always use the original primer Primer MD16 . Primer, as I said, makes the adhesive between the base and base material. Before you apply it, the foundation should be vacuumed.
second. You can not add more water than is written in the instructions, – this affects the strength of the mixture.
third. Stir the mixture should also strictly according to instructions and, of course, not by hand. By the way, if you use the pump for the application, as is done in Finland & hellip;
Here Misha stopped and straightened, continued:
– So, if you use the pump, it is possible to cover an area up to 500 square meters!
I imagined the endless expanses, filled Vetonitom, and said:
– I still need to put the tiles in the bathroom and the kitchen. What better to glue it?
– The tile is best glue on Adhesives for tiles , – logical Misha said. – It is best for this purpose select Vetonit Plus Fix (4,9 $). It is the cheapest of Vetonitov, and thus it can be used for laying tiles on the floor and on the walls. As usual, we start with the preparation of the base. The base must be flat, but we assume that we had already lined one of the walls lining solutions. Naturally, the surface should be clean and dust-free. The dry mixture was diluted with water in a ratio of 25 kg of the mixture to 6,5 – 7 liters of water (approximately 3: 1). Well, it is clear that it is not necessary to break the dosage, the technology must be observed.
The mixing takes place in two stages with the help of the same drill with a paddle. The first step: mixing a small amount of water and settling for 10 minutes. Second step: add the remaining water. The entire solution must be used within 4 hours. On a square meter rate of about 4 – 5 kg of the solution, then you will calculate yourself. Grasps the mixture for about ten minutes. The tile is laid firmly pushing into the solution and simultaneously align the surface of the tiles and joints.
How can I check how well glued tiles? Very simple: try to tear test tile from the substrate. It does not come off? It means everything is OK. Go ahead. If the tiles are large, the solution must be applied on the tiles too. If the tiles are placed on the floor, keep in mind that the fresh floor can not walk for 2 – 3 days. For wall tiles drying time slightly less than 1 – 2 days.
When properly dried, you can begin grouting. For walls recommend « Grout Vetonit », it can also be used for floor tiles. To fit the floor and « grout ceramic tiles Vetonit ». In fact, species tile adhesives Vetonit a few, but they all have the same qualities as other materials from the family of Vetonit, about which I have already told you.
Mike took a deep breath.
– Finally, the last. Let me remind you once again that all windows and doors are better than ever, and hang close to not spoil. And & hellip; I advise you not to violate the instructions for use. The packaging is always all painted, what to do. And if you need help, please, help, – Misha added polite.
On this we parted. All necessary Vetonity were purchased by me in the right quantity. By the way, during the repair work it was, in my opinion, considerably surprised at my unfeminine awareness of application solutions for different purposes. Know ours!
