Modern manufacturers never tire of surprising their customers with new types of finishing materials. One of the most interesting ways of finishing the floor is the floor on a polyurethane basis. This option is often used in production, commercial or administrative buildings, but with a competent design such coverage can be used in the apartment.
Polyurethane floors are a floor screed, the basis for which is the leveling mixture. The technology of forming polyurethane floors is quite simple: the polymer composition formed by the dismounting of several components is poured onto the prepared concrete base, and, spreading, forms a uniform smooth surface. The coating smooths defects and irregularities due to the thickness.
Properties of polyurethane flooring
The flooded floor has many advantages over other floor coverings:
- absence of seams;
- Bacteria and microorganisms are not allowed to spread;
- moisture resistance;
- tightness;
- resistant to chemically active mixtures;
- high resistance to abrasion;
- withstand temperature fluctuations.
These characteristics of polyurethane flood floors make them ideal for children's and medical institutions, industries associated with the food industry, as well as moving floors in manufacturing plants.
From the disadvantages of the sexes can be identified a complex process of preparation and pouring, problematic dismantling, as well as dubious environmental compatibility. This floor will last 20 years in difficult conditions, but you need to understand it, that in 20 years it can get pretty boring. Of course, the coating can be repainted, but it will be very difficult to completely dismantle.
Pour polyurethane floors in the apartment
This coating is used in private apartments less often than in production premises, due to the specificity of polyuritan. Designers are advised to install polyurethane floors in rooms prone to frequent visits and temperature influences (kitchen, bathroom, hallway). In living rooms it is better to use natural materials (wood, tiles).
Depending on the chosen design method, you can select several interesting options for self-leveling floors:- Polyurethane floors with a 3D effect . It uses a special technology, according to which the image is applied at a certain angle, because of what creates the effect of the full reality of the depicted object. The picture is printed on matte satin, vinyl film or banner fabric. After the label, the pattern is filled with a transparent mixture and the room is left to be ventilated.
- Polyurethane floors with interesting details . Very unusual looks when under a transparent base there are shells, coins, beads and other small details. This interesting illusion resembles the effect of transparent water, through which all the smallest details are visible. This floor looks good in the hallway.
- Self-leveling floors with a pattern . Here, ordinary images without a 3D effect are used. For drawing use polymer or acrylic paints, which are applied to the finished surface and opened with a varnish. Such floors are the most expensive, as most of the money goes to the work of the artist on which you can not save.
As you can see, the flooded floors on a polyurethane basis are quite an original design move, which brings a note of individuality and innovation to the room. Of course, such a floor will choose bold and creative people who are accustomed to surprise and shock guests.
