Any gender, whatever the coating is not selected, should be perfectly smooth. Cracks, height differences, protrusions, potholes - all this is well noticeable shortcomings that rush into the eyes and spoil the entire appearance, and later the sexual coating are actually destroying. Therefore, the alignment of sex by lighthouses is an important stage of installing any sex.
The right choice of screeds, the use of various methods of alignment is a pledge of a further ideal view of both the floor itself and the entire interior.
Types of floor screeds
Before you purchase lighthouses for floor alignment, you need to decide on the view of the screed. You can choose between the following: dry, wet (concrete, cement-sand), semi-dry, self-discharge. They are classified by consistency, but in all cases the use of beacons is required. Even self-disseminating screed, which is approximately evenly distributed throughout the floor, requires some editing.
Installation of zero level
In order for lighthouses to be used to align, they need to be installed according to the appropriate procedure. Ideally, you need to use a laser level, but you can use the usual construction. All over the perimeter of the walls at a certain height (forms that correspond to the level of the eyes) put tags (the better, the better), which connect the perfect horizontal line. Then, with this line, perpendicular to the level on which it is planned to make a screed, and connect them by another horizontal line. On it and you should navigate when installing beacons.
When preparing for the screed, lighthouses are used to align the floor, the dimensions of which correspond to the length or width of the room to avoid possible inaccuracies at the installation phase. The first lighthouse is set at a distance of 30 cm from the wall (it is desirable to make a mark on the floor, in what places lighthouses will be located to calculate their approximate number). At the same time, they are oriented relative to the horizontal line on the wall, at the level of which the installation should be conducted.
The distance of the run between the beacons should be chosen individually, but it should be 20-25 centimeters shorter rules that will be used in the work. All lighthouses must be installed in parallel to each other. Align the lighthouses in height should be using lining (cardboard, DVP, dry solution, plywood, etc.), which are located along the lighthouse every 30 cm in order to avoid its bending. For wet and liquid screws Lining should be rigid, resistant to moisture. And for dry, you can use Faneru, cardboard.
Using beacons with dry floor screed
For a dry screed floor, distinguished high density and flowability, we should use strong beacons that will easily withstand the gravity of the solution. It may be p-shaped or plasterboardprofile. It should be remembered that the lighthouses used for the dry screed remain in it until the end. Extract them after the alignment procedure will not work. Therefore, for these purposes, beacons should be used to align the floor whose price is not too high.
1. Lights from the P-shaped profile.
In the dry screed as a filler, clayzit or similar bulk material is used. When purchasing a lighthouse for him, the future height should be taken into account, which should be at least 3 cm. P-shaped profile should be purchased tight, durable so that it can withstand the load and did not fade. The lighthouse is fixed to the overlap of the self-tapping screw in order not to break the waterproofing layer. Therefore, the profile must be purchased perfectly smooth and surface under it also align. The distance between the edges fall asleep with a dry tie, after which they spend on top of the rule between the beacons and remove unnecessary, ideally aligning the screed.
2. Lighthouses made of plasterboard profiles.
Plasterboard Lighthouses are the best choice, since they are heavier and dimensional (for example, 60x27 cm). Installing such lighthouses is something similar to the use of wooden lags in the old man. Recommended profiles set quite often (7 pieces for every 3 meters) to provide even greater strength. The principle of the installation of beacons is observed as the same as in the above option.
Using beacons in a semi-dry and concrete tie
The semi-dry and concrete screed involves the use of durable profiles, but they can already be fixed with screws and screws, which is much more convenient. As lighthouses use plasterboard Profiles, profiles on self-drawing and other options.
1. Profile on the solution.
Most often for semihow and concrete solutions are used plasterboard Size profiles 27x28 mm mounted in an inverted form. They put wooden bars or hilly from a more dense solution. It is best to use the last option, as it is easy to handle. As a solution for installing beacons, cement-limestone or alabaster is recommended, as it dries quickly.
By installing the lighthouses and aligning them in terms of the level and the corresponding horizontal line, expect until the entire mixture dry and will be securely fixed. Only after that, they start the pouring screed. For more detailed and clearly information, how to produce floor alignment beams, - the video below.
2. Profile on self-drawing.
Another way to secure the profile is the use of screws. Along the line of the alleged setting of the lighthouse, a dowel is driven at a distance of 20-30 cm, which is attached to the profile. Then it is leveling in level (for this self-tapping screw, it is necessary to either twist or unscrew). If the original surface is not concrete, and the primer, the screws can be fixed into wooden bars.
The pegs should be made of at least 15 cm long, and 15x15 mm sizes. In the bar, the long self-tapping screw (91 mm) is fixed, which is then aligned in terms of level. First, the procedure is carried out with extreme dots, then with all subsequent.
3. Combined option.
The combined version of the installation of lighthouses involves the use and slides with a solution, and self-tapping. For this, the length of the lighthouse in the floor drill Holes for dowels through each meter. In the intervals between them, the slides from the semi-dry solution are barely above the dowel level. Then the lighthouse is installed, the height of which is adjusted, removing or giving a solution.
Lighthouses for bulk sex
The bulk gender is rarely aligned with lighthouses, because its liquid consistency involves the perfect horizontal distribution over the surface. Nevertheless, experienced builders resort to the use of structures such as references or pins for alignment of the floor whose photo is given below.
The design rod in the center moves, and it is according to it that the screed level is regulated. Before installing the lighthouse, the floor is primed, expect 4-6 hours, after which the references are exhibited at a distance of one meter, they are adjusting and poured the floor.
Installation of beacons is the most difficult floor alignment step. By the quality of this work, you can judge the implementation of the entire project. Therefore, this stage is recommended carefully and scrupulously. If, after laying the floor, the level shows the perfect horizontal, everything was done correctly and accurately.
