Dry screed is primarily distinguished by the fact that it has a more favorable cost compared to other types. However, before you start using it, you need to familiarize yourself with all the features, pluses and minuses. Before choosing a floor screed, consider the following:
- The time of year during which repairs are carried out;
- Economic opportunities;
- Features of the basis;
- The time period for which the work must be completed
Dry screed is much faster than concrete, while not inferior to the strength of the coating.
The most important thing when using a dry screed is to take into account the type of the room, since different substrates require completely different preparations. If the work is carried out in the apartment, then the dry screed must necessarily take place at the same level, while the bathroom and toilet are not taken into account. It is necessary to pre-select finishing materials for each type of room, and in order to prevent errors, it is necessary to calculate the height in advance for the finish coating for the correct thickness of the marking screeds. To make sure that all work is done correctly, it is recommended to use the bubble building level. If the plates involve overlapping during fixation, then the fasteners must be carried out to each other.
When performing a dry floor screed, it is very important to correctly calculate the amount of materials. To do this, the following options exist:
- The thickness of the layer poured on the base.
- Variability of the materials used.
- The size of the room, as well as its area.
Dry screed has a number of positive qualities. For example, it is able to provide decent sound insulation, accuracy and speed of work, and can also be carried out regardless of the time of year. Such a coating has practically no disadvantages. However, it should be borne in mind that a dry screed is especially sensitive to high humidity, therefore, when performing work, special attention is paid to the waterproofing layer. The film must reliably protect the material from leakage, as it is extremely detrimental to the quality of the material. Excessive moisture causes the floor to become swollen and the finish to deform. As a preventive measure, it is recommended to cover wooden coatings with a special composition.
