Manufacturing of 3d floors. The floors are fantastic. Stage III. We print the image on banner fabric

Today, a bright and voluminous pattern can be created not only on the walls of an apartment, but even on the floor. Probably, most of the site's readers have already visited the popular today exhibitions of 3D paintings and even came to the galleries of 3D drawings, where you can make unique and interesting photographs. And such works of art can be created even in your apartment. Modern building technologies allow you to create 3D floors with your own hands, step-by-step instruction the arrangement of which is given below.

DIY 3D floors - step by step instructions

3D paintings on the floor in the apartment are created on the basis of self-leveling floor technology. And before there is an opportunity to study the instructions for creating a unique pattern on the floor, you should get acquainted directly with this type of finish and find out its advantages / disadvantages.

So, a self-leveling floor in construction is a special type of screed, for the creation of which special self-leveling building mixtures are used. They are quite fluid, and therefore, in the process of filling and drying, they manage to be evenly distributed over the surface of the subfloor-base and make the final surface almost perfectly flat.

On a note! The minimum layer thickness is 3.5 mm.

Self-leveling floors can be divided into two types:

with topcoat, which becomes, after drying, directly the final floor covering;
fast drying concrete screedwhich allows you to prepare the sub-floor for installation different types floor covering.

The article will focus on the first type of floor finishing, in this case the finishing layer will be applied. A full-fledged 3D floor can be called when a drawing is applied to it in a special way, which seems to be voluminous from the side. To create such a floor is a special chic and an opportunity to give the rooms uniqueness and originality, because on the surface of the floors you can reproduce any drawings, even those created by yourself.

Self-leveling floors can be used not only in residential premises - they can also be created in warehouses, in gyms, on the territory of shopping centers, etc.

3d self-leveling floors

Self-leveling floors

Any self-leveling floor consists of several layers - there can be 3 or 4. As a rule, this is a sub-floor, a layer of primer, a leveling layer, a finishing layer. In this case, a building mixture is used as a leveling layer, and a special polymer mixture (two-component) is used to create a finishing layer.

The desired pattern is created, by the way, not on the surface of the finished floor - the image is placed between the leveling and finishing layers.

On a note! The thicker the finish layer, the more pronounced the 3D effect will be. This part in the structure of self-leveling floors is responsible for the depth / volume of the picture.

The self-leveling floor, sometimes called "liquid linoleum", has no gaps or crevices. Coating thickness - up to 7 mm. This finish can feel like a tile to the touch.

Pros and cons of self-leveling floors

One of the main advantages of self-leveling floors is the ability to make the flooring original and unique. , patterns on linoleum, PVC tiles and other options for materials for decorating floors are already boring to many, and a self-leveling floor allows you to change the room beyond recognition.

Other advantages of self-leveling floors:

during pouring, there will be no gaps and cracks between rooms;
high strength characteristics;
ease of care - the surface is easy to clean;
attractiveness and uniqueness appearance - self-leveling floors will make the room unique;
high resistance to various chemical substances;
the opportunity to realize the wildest fantasies;
compatibility with any interior style;
high rates of moisture resistance;
excellent heat resistance - compatibility with different systems underfloor heating.

Also, self-leveling 3D floors have disadvantages - yes, this is far from an ideal coating. The disadvantages of this type of finish are as follows:

the complexity of both installation and dismantling - in both cases, large labor costs will be required;
the glossy floor is quickly covered with scratches. Based on this, another drawback of the self-leveling coating appears - the need for protective measures in order to keep the surface in good condition for the longest possible period;
creating a self-leveling floor is not a cheap pleasure, since it will take quite a lot of materials, tools and fixtures.

Attention! When creating a 3D self-leveling floor, it is important to accurately follow all technology. Otherwise, there is a risk that the floor will quickly deteriorate.

Types of self-leveling floors

There are 4 main types of self-leveling floors - they differ depending on the components that are part of the mixtures used to create them. In general, the technology of their application is similar.

Table. Types of self-leveling floors.

View	Characteristic
	This type of self-leveling floor is based on methyl methacrylic resin. The coating behaves well indoors and outdoors. It is often used in various objects of all kinds of industries. Resistant to high and low temperatures, not afraid of ultraviolet radiation, depending on certain additives, it can slightly change its properties. Differs in resistance to aggressive environments. It polymerizes quickly, and pouring work can be performed even at sub-zero temperatures. Disadvantages - the need to work very quickly, as the coating dries quickly. Requires the help of professionals. Has an unpleasant, pungent odor.
	The most commonly used type of coating is durable, lightweight and durable. The coating is not afraid of exposure to water and temperature jumps, it is resistant to shock loads and abrasion. Differs in high indicators of hygiene, therefore, it is recommended for use in medical institutions and food premises. The main drawback is the importance of careful preparatory work (preparation of the base), while the installation should be carried out at low humidity. Another disadvantage is the significant cost of building materials.
	The base is epoxy resin. Such floors can be equipped on wood, concrete, metal bases. Resistant to abrasive substances, not afraid of chemicals. They are often installed in the premises of pharmaceutical and food industries, laboratories. Advantages - ease of care, high resistance to chemical and mechanical stress, environmental friendliness. Disadvantages - inelastic, and therefore easily damaged in case of strong blows.
	The basis of such a floor is cement, polyacryate copolymer, and a special filler. Previously, such floors were created only on the territory of food production, where various loads are often moved and the floors are under heavy stress, are constantly disinfected, quickly get dirty and are constantly cleaned. Self-leveling cement-acrylic floors are not afraid of water, chemicals, mechanical influences. Non-slip (matte), non-flaking, copes well with temperature fluctuations. The main disadvantage is that they are difficult to install.

If we compare all of the above types of floors, then we can conclude that polyurethane, epoxy floors can be made independently. As for methyl methacrylate, it is not recommended to use them for self-administration construction works... The most flexible are polyurethane floors, but epoxy ones are not afraid of chemicals. Cement-acrylic mixtures can be used to level the sub-surface.

On a note! In addition to the main four types of self-leveling floors, there are also a lot of combined coatings.

DIY 3D floor

It is quite difficult to create a 3D floor in your home on your own, but it is possible. The process takes place in several stages: making calculations and preparing the base, creating a leveling layer, drawing a picture and then a finishing layer. It is the latter that will provide the very 3D effect that people like so much.

Attention! To achieve desired effect, as topcoat transparent materials are used.

Materials and tools

In order to create a 3D floor, certain materials and tools are required:

primer required for processing the subfloor;
polymer mixture, thanks to which the leveling layer will be formed;
the drawing itself, which is usually made on banner fabric;
transparent two-component polymer, which will act as a topcoat;
adhesive, thanks to which the drawing will be fixed on the leveling layer;
protective varnish, which covers the topcoat;
masking tape;
polyethylene film;
spatulas;
rule;
brushes;
special footwear.

masking tape

If the drawing is created by hand, then you will need acrylic paints and brushes. And also come in handy protective compound, which will ensure the safety of the drawing.

Preparation and calculation

So one of initial stages is the product of calculating the number of required supplies... Consumption will largely depend on the condition of the subfloor (base), layer thickness, and the material used (information on consumption can be found on the packaging).

To create a self-leveling floor with a thickness of 3 mm, it is necessary to spend about 4 kg of building mixture per 1 m 2. Based on this, the necessary calculations can be made. The average cost of 1 m 2 of a self-leveling floor with a 3D pattern will leave about 6,000 rubles. Costs can be slightly reduced if you do all the work yourself. By the way, the most expensive part of the entire self-leveling floor is the drawing printed on the banner.

Attention! Self-leveling floors with a 3D pattern will look good only on areas of more than 10 m 2. It is not worth creating them in small rooms - the whole drawing will simply be lost and will be invisible.

How to prepare a drawing

To begin with, you should choose the picture that you would like to see every day. Choosing an illustration should be very responsible, as it will take a long time to coexist with it. It is necessary that it fit the interior as well - you should not paint dolphins in the hall, unless, of course, the design of the main room is not made in a nautical style.

On a note! If you want to create a drawing yourself, then you should not choose a complex image if you do not have the artist's skills. Let the picture be simple, but memorable and pleasant.

The selected pattern should be printed on banner fabric. This can be done in any agency that deals with outdoor advertising. By the way, they can also help with the choice of a picture. It is very important to check with the company technical specifications the final work - the illustration must be printed with a resolution of at least 1440 pixels on matte satin.

Step by step execution of work

After the drawing was selected and printed, all necessary tools and materials, you can start the work itself.

Step 1. The first step is preparing the foundation. The sub floor is thoroughly cleaned of debris and dust. Degrease the surface if there are oil or paint stains on it. All cracks, chips are sealed with a sealant, irregularities are sanded. The surface is thoroughly dried (permissible base moisture content - no more than 4%, air - no more than 50%).

On a note! If the subfloor was poured over a new one, then at least 30 days should pass before the installation of the bulk one.

Step 2. The surface is primed with a special primer mixture for self-leveling floors. The mixture can be applied with a roller or spatula. This is necessary in order for the base to bond with the leveling layer very firmly.

Step 3. After the primer has dried (about 4 hours), a white epoxy is poured onto the surface to level the base. The layer is smoothed with a wide spatula. It is necessary to put on special spiked shoes (paint shoes) on your feet, which will allow you to walk on damp surfaces.

Step 4. The surface is treated with a special needle roller. This will remove excess air from the material. The surface is dried for at least 24 hours, after which the evenness of the layer is checked.

Step 5. The drawing is being applied (paints, banner fixation, etc.). The base layer is primed, a transparent polymer solution and a solvent mixed in a 2: 1 ratio - an adhesive solution for a banner are applied to it. Also, the finishing material can serve as an adhesive. It is applied to the rough surface, and a banner is glued on top. It is very important to expel all the air from under the banner fabric. Work can be done with a clean roller.

On a note! It is very convenient to use a self-adhesive banner for drawing a picture, which works on the principle of translation. A protective film is removed from one of its sides, the pattern is glued to the surface and rolled with a roller.

Step 6. The quantity is counted polymer blend finishing layer - it will depend on the required thickness and floor area. On average, the consumption is 4-4.5 kg / m 2. Then the material is poured onto the banner surface, carefully leveled with a rule. The air is driven out by a needle roller. Next, the floor is covered with plastic wrap until it dries completely, and then varnish is applied to the surface, which will protect the surface from mechanical damage.

Video - How to make 3D floors

A few tips will help you to create 3D floors as quickly and efficiently as possible:

during the installation of self-leveling floors in order to protect them from cracks along the walls, it is recommended to lay a damper tape;
there must be good ventilation in the room where work is in progress;
it is important to use a respirator during work;
it is advisable to fill the floor at an air temperature of at least +10 degrees;
it is necessary to level the finishing layer within 30 minutes, as it dries quickly.

Correct surface care

Maintenance of self-leveling floors is simple, but still it must be regular in order to maintain the beauty of the coating for many years. For example, every 6 months a special mastic should be applied to the surface, and when making renovation works the floor should be covered with covering material. Also, special protective caps are put on the furniture legs or linings are used.

Self-leveling floors should be washed with an aqueous solution. detergentand then wipe with a clean cloth.

Attention! Do not use substances containing chlorine or acids to clean self-leveling floors.

With some effort and a lot of money, you want to get the perfect job right away. However, the creation of a self-leveling 3D floor is not an easy task, therefore you should be prepared for the fact that the first time you will not get a beautiful coating. However, over time, it will be possible to train, and the drawings on the floors will get better and better.

Self-leveling 3d floors almost immediately became popular after they appeared on the market, despite the rather high price. This is a universal coating that is used with the same degree of effectiveness on objects with different interior and intended purpose. All work can be done by hand, but at the same time you need to prepare a drawing, strictly follow the manufacturing technology, and control the environmental conditions.

What is a 3d floor?

This type of coating consists of several layers: base, pattern / texture, finishing... Compositions for this task tend to solidify quickly enough, so the option of making a 3D floor with your own hands is difficult to implement, but still possible. The drawing can be sketched directly onto the rough surface, but in domestic conditions it is preferable to use material with a fixed pattern. This is a less time-consuming process, and in addition, it is also cheaper.

As a basis for the coating, multi-component compounds (polymer, mineral) are used. The 3D effect is provided by the top layer. To obtain a more pronounced volume of the image, you need to increase the thickness of the finish. But in this case, you will have to use materials with a different ratio of components, so that changing the parameters of the coating does not affect its strength.

Phased execution of work

The technology of pouring the self-leveling floor includes three main stages: preparation of the base (rough screed); transfer of a pattern or drawing / creation of a textured surface (pebbles, sand, shells, etc.); finishing. But before starting to do the work with your own hands, it is recommended to pay special attention to the stage of choosing an image, as well as its preparation.

What to consider when choosing a picture

The first step is to define your own preferences. This can be a drawing transferred to the screed, photo printing, abstraction and other creation. An important nuance - the image must be of high quality (at least 1440 dpi). 3D floors will look spectacular on marine theme, photos of the abyss, descent. For all other cases, it is recommended to equip a thicker finish coat to enhance the perception of volume.

Popular 3D drawings with depth effect: water, abyss, descent. Especially the nautical theme, where, thanks to a special technique of airbrushing, a truly impressive realism is achieved.

In order not to injure the psyche, it is better to avoid using photographs depicting danger (monsters, predators, creepy motives). Another direction that should not be used is falling or moving objects (for example, a large wave), since the dynamism in the image when arranging a 3D fill coating is not the best option.

The most common mistakes in arranging 3D floors, selecting a pattern

Flashy photos with lots of bright elements are also not suitable. All these images will constantly affect the subconscious mind in a negative way.

How to change perspective

If you plan to do all the work yourself, you need to understand a graphics program with sufficient functionality to fully change the characteristics of the image. The most popular option is PhotoShop.

Detailed instructions for further actions:

The room where the 3d floor will be poured with your own hands needs to be photographed, and this should be done from the desired angle, for example, standing at the entrance;
The graphic editor allows you to overlay a pre-selected picture on the image of a room;
The photo is cleaned up: there should be nothing superfluous on it, except for the floor with a picture fixed on it;
Having received the outlines of the floor covering in perspective (it resembles a trapezoid in shape), you need to correct the borders of the image with your own hands until you get a rectangle (tools in the Vanishing Point graphic editor, Create plane tool);
All that remains is to save the file (extension .png).

The quality of the image directly depends on how carefully the floor was cut in the photo.

Printout

A common option for transferring a photo is through banner fabric. The popularity of this material is due to its resistance to moisture, sometimes even with aggressive components (rain, snow). Considering the high quality of the future cover, the cost of banner fabric is quite acceptable - about $ 20 / sq. m. You can contact any organization that offers outdoor printing services to print a file.

It is recommended that you make a test print on a small paper size. This will allow you to assess the quality of the image and the overall product. It is also quite possible to order a full-format black and white print on paper, then it will be possible to evaluate the drawing on the floor of the room.

Preparation of the base

The concrete surface is cleaned. Moreover, you need to remove with your own hands not only dust, but also greasy stains (oil, grease, etc.). The surface is covered with a primer mixture; without this, the technology for laying materials will be disrupted due to low adhesion. An intermediate layer is formed (rough screed based on mineral or polymer compounds). Further, decorative design is applied / attached.

How the photo is pasted and transferred

Do-it-yourself canvas spreads over the surface. Fastening method - adhesive. At the same time, it is necessary to control so that air bubbles do not appear between the canvas and the base. Careful smoothing of the material will avoid such disadvantages. In the case when the 3D drawing is transferred with your own hands directly to the base, the production of the floor will include one more stage - applying a primer over the picture after the acrylic paint has completely dried.

The nuances of the pouring process

A sufficient thickness of the transparent layer of polymer material gives the image volume. It is also necessary to apply a protective coating on top, which will ensure long-term operation of the floor without the risk of abrasion of the surface.

Filling with polymer composition

Material consumption depends on the layer thickness. For example, the production of a 3 mm coating requires a material blank at the rate of 4-4.5 kg / sq. m. You need to work as efficiently as possible, but at the same time with high quality, since the composition for laying the topcoat quickly sets.

Pouring cover

Coating thickness - 0.5 mm. The working time with the ready-made mixture is no more than an hour (again, you should focus on a period of 40 minutes). For DIY styling, you need to prepare a spatula and a roller with a needle surface. A small amount of material is applied with a spatula and spread with a roller until the coating begins to tangle slightly. The period of complete drying of the finishing layer is up to 7 days.

Pour the composition onto the surface. The base is leveled by means of a rule and a needle roller, the main purpose of which is to remove air bubbles from the base.

Difficulties at different stages of work

The main enemies of a quality coating are unsuitable environmental conditions and incorrect dosage of the mixture components. In the first case, moisture plays a major role. With an increase in this indicator, bubbles appear on the floor surface.

You can check if the working conditions are suitable using a piece of plastic wrap. It is straightened on the floor, gluing around the perimeter with tape. After waiting 3 days, you can remove this structure.

If the color of the surface under the film changes or if condensation occurs on its surface, do not start work until the air parameters are normalized.

Incorrect dosage of the components of the mixture will lead to a decrease in the quality of the floor. The production of the coating includes the step of determining the sufficient thickness of the finishing layer to provide the required level of surface reliability. In this case, the ratio of the number of components can change.

The technology for the production of self-leveling floors with the 3D effect, which has become widespread in industrial and civil construction, has significantly expanded the possibilities for the implementation of the most daring design ideas... How 3D floors are made, and why manufacturing technology requires strict adherence to all operations, without exception, will be discussed in this material.

The process of making floors with volumetric images includes three main stages, which, in turn, are divided into several intermediate operations:

Foundation preparation, which begins with pouring the concrete screed and continues with drying, priming and final leveling of the surface;
Applying the actual decorative coating, when various primers, glaze paints and volumetric drawings are used on a self-adhesive base or applied with a special glue;
Application of a finishing protective layer, allowing to obtain not only a wear-resistant coating, but also to visually increase the depth of the applied image.

Self-leveling floor technology

Routing on 3D floors indicates exactly which components are used when performing a particular technological operation. It details the time of drying and polymerization, the time of applying the formulations and the sequence of work. Most often, materials based on polyurethane or epoxy are used for the manufacture of self-leveling floors with a volumetric pattern.

Tip: For a durable, wear-resistant finish, it is highly recommended to use 3D flooring materials from a single source, which are balanced in technical and chemical characteristics and provide a complete system that provides the best quality of the finished floor.

Foundation preparation

Self-leveling polymer floors are arranged on durable concrete the base, which should not have visible and hidden damage, inclusions of separating materials and traces of any contamination, therefore, before making 3D floors, it is necessary to carry out a number of preparatory operations:

Check concrete base for damage, which is carried out by visual inspection, tapping the floor surface or using special radio frequency or ultrasonic meters. Modern appliances the presence of cracks or voids is determined with sufficient accuracy even in a sufficiently thick layer of concrete;
Repair of a concrete base with special repair mixes. In case of significant damage or impossibility of repair, it is necessary to re-manufacture concrete screed... To ensure maximum floor strength with a low coating thickness, the old base must be destroyed to the state of crushed stone of the middle fraction and then a new coating must be poured. If the layer thickness does not exceed 40 mm, a special reinforcing mesh is used when installing the screed;
After repair, the screed must be dried until moisture is completely removed, and the new base must be kept for 28 days with periodic moistening to gain the necessary strength;
The base intended for applying 3D images must be absolutely flat, without cavities, subsidence and other possible defects. For the final leveling, it is best to apply thin-layer self-leveling floors based on cement binders, which are applied to the previously primed screed.

Video demonstration of surface preparation before pouring

Drawing a picture

High-quality patterning on the prepared floor surface is about half the success rate for 3D flooring. The slightest fold or air bubble instantly distorts the picture and destroys the volume of the image. Therefore, before making 3D floors, you should not neglect some additional operations:

Cleaning, if necessary, washing the floor with special detergents using industrial vacuum cleaner... Not the slightest grain of debris and not the slightest speck of dirt should remain on the entire surface of the floor;
Drying the base and applying a special primer to increase adhesion;
Drawing on a self-adhesive vinyl base or made on special paper and glued to the base using special glue;
The final operation after drawing is to control the moisture content of the surface before applying the protective layer. This operation must be approached very carefully. Concrete substrates should have a moisture content of no more than 6% to prevent the polymer from peeling off the substrate.

The video shows the process of drawing a picture

Applying a transparent layer of polymer and protective varnish

Protective coatings in the manufacture of 3D floors can be epoxy based or based on polyurethane composites. Moreover, it can be either one or two-component compositions. There are some differences in how 3d self-leveling floors are made on an epoxy or polyurethane base, but, in general, the technological operations are similar:

When using this or that mixture, you should strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions. When pouring, special attention should be paid to the “survivability” time of the composition, during which it retains the ability to spread;
When pouring, it is required to prepare the next portions of the composition in a timely manner in order to avoid the appearance of heterogeneity of the coating and visible steps between the poured sections of the floor;
Smoothing of the poured mixture is carried out with a special squeegee with an adjustable coating thickness and a needle roller, which serves to improve flow and accelerate the removal of air trapped in the polymer layer;
To create a shockproof wear-resistant coating, depending on the selected polymer, an additional layer of protective varnish can be applied to the floor surface, which additionally increases the "depth" of the image.

After completing all technological operations, it is necessary to withstand the coating for 3-4 days for final polymerization, after which the floors are ready for use.

You got a rough idea of \u200b\u200bhow to make 3d self-leveling floors. For all the seeming simplicity, pouring polymer floors is a rather complicated undertaking that requires coordinated actions of the construction team, moreover, precisely timed. Even after watching a video on how to make 3D floors, you should not tackle their device alone, especially with large areas. The slightest inaccuracy can spoil the results of the work done, and it is very difficult to dismantle polymer floors due to their high strength.

Increasingly, in offices, large organizations and even in ordinary apartments can see self-leveling floors 3D, the prices for which are quite high, but the effect produced and aesthetic characteristics outweigh the scales in favor of choosing just such a floor design. In terms of installation technology, such floors do not differ from ordinary self-leveling floors, however, there are some peculiarities when choosing and preparing images.

Self-leveling floors and creating a 3D effect

Self-leveling floors are called seamless polymer coatings, which seem to be "poured" onto the floor surface. Such floors differ according to the main component of the poured mixture: there are polyurethane, cement-acrylic, epoxy and methyl methacrylate floors, in addition, there are also various combined mixtures. The most common are epoxy and polyurethane floors.

Having appreciated the wonderful volumetric drawings that contemporary artists place on the asphalt and walls, the interior designers came to the conclusion that this effect will also fit into the design of an office or apartment. From that moment on, a kind of "boom" began for three-dimensional images on the floor: positive reviews about self-leveling 3D floors and their many advantages in various construction forums do not dry out.

In addition to the chic aesthetic characteristics, originality and freshness of such design solution, a self-leveling floor with a 3D effect has a number of other advantages:

strength and long service life,
resistance to moisture and chemicals,
ease of care,

environmental friendliness,
operational safety (fire resistance, hygiene),
possibility of installation in any premises.

Stages of installing a self-leveling floor with a 3D effect

The technology of floor pouring with a 3D effect is not as complicated as it seems at first glance. The main thing that is important to pay attention to is the processes of preparing and laying materials, since the base for the drawing must be perfectly flat.

The whole process of creating a 3D self-leveling floor consists of several stages:

Substrate preparation or leveling. This is most often done with self-leveling floor mixes. When the material dries, the base is sanded.

Advice! You can lay such a floor on different surface: both on wood, on concrete, and on tiles... The differences will consist only in preparing the base in order to achieve the most even surface.

Primer. The base is poured with a primer and the surface is again leveled, preparing it for drawing.

Base (polymer) layer application. First you need to think over its background so that it matches the picture.
Drawing an image. Depending on the type of material used as an image (artist's drawing, banner fabric, satin base, vinyl film), the process of its application will also depend. The artist simply paints on the prepared surface, and the finished image is attached using a self-adhesive base or a thin layer of coating used in the following steps.

Advice! In cases where the image is made up of several pieces, you need to carefully monitor so that you end up with a single canvas, i.e. you will have to be very careful to join parts of the picture.

Filling with topcoat. Most often, such a coating is epoxy resin... Depending on the function of the room and the required depth of the volumetric image, a layer of 1.5 to 5 mm is applied.

Final sanding and varnishing of the floor if necessary.

Average prices

If you order a self-leveling floor in one of the specialized firms, the price per m2 will be about 5-6 thousand rubles, and usually the larger the area of \u200b\u200bthe repaired room, the lower the price for 1 m2. Floor cost may vary slightly depending on the region and the materials used.

If you make a 3D self-leveling floor with your own hands, you can gain in terms of price, but you will have to spend a lot of time and purchase necessary equipment, which may not be needed in the future. Deciding what to save on: money or time and nerves is a matter for the person himself.

Self-leveling floor is a seamless polymer coating that has a number of advantages over other types of flooring. His distinctive features are:

Durability;
- strength;
- wear resistance;
- aesthetic appeal;
- resistance to abrasion;
- hygiene;
- fire safety;
- water resistance.

In addition, self-leveling floors from polymeric materials do not slip, do not collapse under the influence of aggressive chemicals and ultraviolet rays, have an antistatic effect. To clean the coating made of polymer materials, no aggressive household chemicals: You can remove dirt from the self-leveling floor by wiping it with a wet cloth.

With the correct filling of the polymer composition, finished floors retain their properties for several decades.

Manufacturing technology of self-leveling 3d floor

Self-leveling 3d floors is a coating that consists of a polymer base layer, a decorative middle and transparent top layer. Making these floors takes time, experience and effort. That is why their cost is significantly higher than the cost of any other flooring.

It is important to properly prepare the concrete subfloor before applying the polymer coat. It is necessary to thoroughly dedust it with a vacuum cleaner and then prime it. It is advisable to mix the top layer of the primer with quartz sand. With this measure, it is possible to increase the adhesion of the concrete base and avoid the appearance of defects on the finished flooring.

If the technology of laying the polymer composition is violated, there is a high probability that the finished self-leveling floor will be covered with bubbles, or even completely exfoliate.

At the end of the preparatory work, it is necessary to apply a polymer base to the concrete coating. Its thickness is usually 1.5-3 mm. When this layer is dry, you need to varnish it.

The next step is to lay the sheet with the 3d image. It is usually done with computer programs... It can be either a pattern or a picture, or a three-dimensional company logo (in case 3d floors are laid in an office, shopping center or any production room). In addition, the middle layer can include various decorative elements. These can be shells, coins, shards, sand, wood chips, etc.

At the end of this stage of work, a final transparent polymer coating is applied to the image. With good ventilation of the room, after 5-7 days, the self-leveling 3d floor will finally harden and be ready for use. The price of such coverage is quite high. Cost of one square meter floors made using this technology starts from 3-5 thousand rubles.
