Modern manufacturers of building mixtures offer their customers a wide range of products. But Bergauf turned out to be more original and entered the market of building mixtures with the statement that their products are the most environmentally friendly, have high performance and relatively inexpensive. This attracted consumers in many countries, including Russia.
Having visited a specialized store, you will be able to familiarize yourself in more detail with the line of bulk floors of this company, which are represented by different types of mixtures with certain characteristics. Some of them are designed to form a rough surface, while others are used to create a final thin layer coating.
The main types of bulk floors from the company Bergauf
The Bergauf bulk floor is offered for sale in a wide range, among the varieties the following can be distinguished: Boden Inter Gross, Easy Boden, Boden Zement Medium, Boden Turbo, Boden Zement Final, Boden Nivelir. The first variety is a quick-hardening high-quality mixture that can be applied manually or using special equipment. The composition does not shrink and is resistant to cracking.
The second of these varieties is intended for masters who do not have enough knowledge and experience to work with such mixtures. After application, the composition hardens quite quickly, and it will be possible to move on it in 8 hours. Among its characteristics, resistance to cracking should be highlighted. Boden Zement Medium is made on a cement basis, and its application can be carried out by a layer whose thickness varies from 5 to 60 millimeters. You can use the composition as a base with a heat insulating layer. Moving on the cover is acceptable after 4 hours.
The Bergauf bulk floor can be applied with a layer of up to 100 millimeters, we are talking about the Boden Turbo variety. Among other things, the mixture has a low consumption and has a self-leveling function.
On a cement basis, Boden Zement Final is also performed, which can be applied with a layer of up to 10 millimeters. It is recommended to use the composition as a finishing base, which creates a perfectly smooth floor surface. You can move on it in 6 hours. The final self-leveling mixture is the last of the above varieties, it is resistant to cracking and does not shrink during drying and operation.
Technical characteristics of bulk floors Bergauf
The Bergauf bulk floor today is popular among consumers for the reason that it is easy to apply and also quite simple to operate. Depending on your goals, you can choose a specific variety of the mixture, which is recommended for application with different layer thicknesses. In the end, it will be possible to obtain a floor covering that is distinguished by certain characteristics. For example, Boden Inter Gross has a maximum compressive strength that reaches 12.5 MPa. Such a characteristic should be expected after 28 days.
You should prepare such an amount of composition that you can develop in 30 minutes, because after this time the mixture loses its quality. About 1 kilogram of dry composition will go per 1 square meter with a layer of 10 millimeters. 7 days after completion of the application, you can fully exploit the surface.
Easy Boden can be applied in a layer of 6 to 60 millimeters, but operation is permissible 8 hours after application. After the same period of time, you can operate the surface that was equipped with the composition of the brand Boden Zement Medium. Product consumption will remain the same. Boden Nivelir can be applied with a minimum layer of 1 millimeter, while the maximum figure is 10 millimeters. The material consumption may turn out to be slightly larger - 18 kilograms per square meter with a layer of 10 millimeters.
Detailed description of the Boden Inter Gross bulk floor
If you decide to choose a mixture for the bathroom floor, then you may prefer Boden Inter Gross, which is used in high humidity conditions. You can apply the composition to the base screed, drywall, wood, expanded clay, reinforced concrete floor slabs, underfloor heating or monolithic concrete. After the surface has completely hardened, you can arrange the finish in the form of a parquet board, laminate, floor tile, carpet and linoleum. Among the ingredients are sand, modifying polymer additives and mineral binders.
Substrate preparation before application
The above mixture for the floor should be applied to a previously prepared base, which is pre-cleaned, degreased and gets rid of old peeling coatings. To improve the adhesion quality, the base can be coated with a primer of the same manufacturer.
Solution preparation
Fill the floor only after the mixture has been prepared for you. To do this, the dry composition is shut with water, the temperature of which can vary from +50 to +25 degrees. A liquid in the volume of 0.31 liters will be needed per 1 kilogram of dry mix.
When increasing the mass of the composition to 25 kilograms, you need to use liquid in a volume of 7.5 liters. The solution should be well mixed to a state of homogeneous mass, after which it is left for several minutes, and then again subjected to repeated mixing. The Berghauf bulk floor, according to the manufacturer, will only have high qualities if all mixing proportions and the mixture preparation order are observed.
Bergauf Boden Street Floor Features
If you are interested in bulk industrial floors, you can choose Bergauf Boden Street, which is recommended for application in terraces, garages, basements, adjoining areas and other rooms where temperature differences are often observed. Using this composition, you can create a high-strength frost-resistant floor, which is suitable for operation in industrial premises. The mixture has a gray color, and cement is used as a binder.
Among the ingredients is sand, the maximum fraction of which can reach 2.5 millimeters. Such bulk industrial floors are consumed in the amount of 20 kilograms per 1 square meter, which is true with a layer of 10 millimeters. Apply the prepared composition with a layer thickness of 6 to 70 millimeters. After 28 days, the surface will reach compressive strength within 30 MPa. The composition corresponds to frost resistance F50.
Preparation before application of Bergauf Boden Street
The above-described Bergauf mixtures, which are intended for use in difficult conditions, should be applied at temperatures ranging from +10 to +25 degrees. Indoors, the conditions mentioned must be kept for 3 days. If the base is characterized by low strength, severe pollution and high humidity, it is recommended to equip the floating screed using a separation layer in the form of geotextiles or plastic film. This is true when it is not possible to clean the surface before work. The thickness of the floor in this case should be thirty millimeters or more.
If you want to pour such a floor on natural or bulk soil, then you must first cut off the top layer of turf, and then compact the surface with a vibrating plate. If the soil has a deformation modulus of less than 5 MPa, then the floor should not be filled.
Cost
The Bergauf bulk floor, the price of which is reasonably reasonable, is offered for sale in a wide assortment. For example, Bergauf Boden Inter Gross can be purchased by paying 270 rubles. for 20 kilograms. Zement Medium costs 380 rubles. for 25 kilograms, as for the Zement Gross, you will have to pay 285 rubles for it. The basic leveler, which is known as Bergauf Base, costs 240 rubles. for 25 kilograms.
Conclusion
Fill the floor only after making sure that the composition was prepared correctly. Otherwise, all efforts made during the work will be in vain.
