Before starting work, you need to prepare floors in a certain way:

• if necessary, remove the old screed or sexual coating. If there are slots in the ceiling, then they are covered;
• eliminate garbage, dust and contamination, including flax and corrosion stains;
• cover the surface by primer;
• calculate the zero level, with the help of laser level or hydroeer. It is necessary, in order to calculate at what level will be a finishing floor;
• calculate the screed thickness, measuring the distance from the zero level and determining the smallest and most important thing. The resulting difference will correspond to the floor height difference.

Now that the preparation is over, proceed to the main work:

• arrange vaporizoation with a polyethylene film. Shipping the entire floor with batteries on the walls 100-150 mm. Sheets themselves should be a mustache at least 200 mm. The entire area of \u200b\u200bthe room las the ribbon for the edge equal to the claying layer or exceeding it in height;
• make beacons from P-shaped profiles. They will help as much as possible to align the mixture. Check the level with a level. Ceramzit pour out the edges. Because At the same time, the profile will be hidden, the plates almost will not touch them. Due to this, sound insulation will remain at a high level;
• a rapid part of the dry screed - clay sand - fall asleep in small parts. If you pour everything at once, it will entail inconvenience when walking on the floor. In addition, the material can stick to the cocked sheets of sheets and then consolidate them more complicated;
• next, in turn fit and secure the second part of the screed - gypsum-fiber plates. Just lay them and fix them, trying not to move along the lower bulk material. On the plates stacked above the walls, as well as on the first laid, cut the fold, so that the GVL layer across the area was double. Otherwise, empty places will be filled with clay sand, and the sheet goes. It may end this by failure of this floor section;
• it is necessary to install the sheets of material in the same way as the laminate or brick - with a displacement. Neighboring sheets fix with self-drawing through the folds in increments of 100 mm. To strengthen the strength to handle the butchele of PVA;
