Classification of screeds

Experts distinguish several types of screeds, each of them has its own characteristics and nuances. For example, one type ensures surface leveling, while others increase thermal insulation qualities.

However, in addition to this, there is also a floating and non-floating type of screed. Let's take a closer look at each of them.

Leveling ties

Here it immediately becomes clear that the main purpose of this screed is leveling. You can also use and help to raise the height of the surface or make a slope.

Leveling and thermal insulation screeds

This type of screed, in addition to leveling, makes it possible to insulate. It is often used for slabs that are joined to basement. Thermal insulation screed will bring greater effect if it is supplemented with a heated floor system.

And most importantly, it must be done before installing the heating elements.

Monolithic screeds

Monolithic ones can be called the most popular. In fact, this is a solid concrete or cement coating. In order to achieve this particular type of screed as a result, several different types concrete. Sand or expanded clay in such cases acts as a filler.

Floating ties

This type of screed has many differences from the above. First, the space between the subfloor and the screed is filled with a unique insulating layer. It is worth answering that it does not have the properties of sticking to the base.

Non-floating ties

As we understand from the name itself, in this case the screed is in direct contact with the base. To create this type of screed, you can absolutely use different materials. After all, the point is to prepare the solution and carefully level it on a previously prepared base.

Designs of partitions and their purpose

Partitions for zoning a room can now be very different. Experts conditionally divide them into two types - stationary and mobile. Further, designs can be divided into two more categories: solid or decorative. Let's continue to figure out whether to do partitions or floors first. Let's talk about partitions in more detail.

Stationary partitions

A stationary solid partition is needed when there is a need to fence off space in the room and make two self-contained rooms. Often, such zoning is used when one room has a large area.

Stationary decorative partitions

This option is the most popular for the children's room section. This type of partition does not have a continuous surface. These can be shelves, racks, etc. But there are times when decorative partitions are installed to separate the kitchen from the dining room.

Movable partitions

Movable partitions can be installed across the entire room or through part of it.

• Movable solid partitions. The peculiarity of such partitions is that they do not stand still. A are installed in finished form. This design resembles sliding doors. But, it has a huge drawback - it does not guarantee reliable sound insulation.
• Movable decorative partitions. Quite a convenient design, which can be made in the style of an “accordion” or like blinds. By the way, the latter are very convenient for installation in one-room apartment. This type also includes screens, which are rapidly gaining popularity.

Their advantage is ease of movement. This means that, if necessary, it can be moved to another place. At the same time, it also has light weight.

Repair sequence

After we have examined in detail the features of each of the structures, we can begin to solve the main question - what comes first: screed or partitions.

These points are worth paying special attention to!

Partitions made of brick or foam block should be installed in front of the screed. And it can be made from lightweight materials after screeding.

1. Dividing the screed itself into parts room by room will significantly increase the strength of the poured screed and reduce the chances of cracks appearing.
2. If there are differences in levels in the room, then this disadvantage can easily be turned into an effective advantage in the form of a plinth, threshold, etc.
3. If you fill in a floating screed, you can save yourself from additional hassle (reinforcement, material consumption, etc.).

Now you can watch a useful video that contains detailed instructions the whole process:

Interesting fact! Entrance doors must be installed both before and after the screed. Only in the first case is it necessary to accurately measure all differences and, in the process of pouring the screed, focus on the installed doors.

In conclusion, we can say that for greater confidence it is better to turn to specialists who will quickly and efficiently do this type of work. And you won’t have to puzzle yourself with the question of what to do initially.

The visual appeal of the interior depends on the correctness of finishing work. They can be either the last stage of construction of the facility or independent work as part of cosmetic or major repairs.

Apartment renovation is a complex process that takes a lot of time and effort. When carrying out it, it is important to follow a clear sequence of actions. Otherwise, some jobs may spoil the results of others, which means they will need to be repeated.

Where does apartment renovation begin?

The most common mistake when preparing for repairs is a quick purchase. finishing materials(immediately after making a decision to make changes to the interior). When planning repairs, you must clearly follow these steps:

• Draw up an exact apartment plan (if you don’t have one).
• Visualize the interior.

You can make a sketch yourself or contact a design studio, where they will present you with a plan and 3D model of your interior.

• Invite builders and finishers for consultation.

Only specialists will be able to assess the need for certain works in your case. In addition, they can advise best option carrying out work (for example, the method of leveling walls).

• Make an estimate.
• Purchase the necessary materials.

Important! When drawing up the plan, do not forget to accurately indicate the location of the new partitions and all communications (especially electrics). Otherwise, you may remember them already at the stage of completion of the repair, when making changes requires dismantling new elements.

Stages of repair work

Main rules when carrying out repairs:

• In most cases, finishing should be done from top to bottom. If you act in the opposite direction, you can ruin the finished structural element. For example, if you first hang wallpaper before stretching the ceiling, it can get very dirty, since many holes are drilled during stretching.
• Always start renovations in the room furthest from the exit.

Rough work

Rough finish includes:

• Dismantling of structures.

The dirtiest and most labor-intensive stage, since during dismantling it appears a large number of garbage. It is important to dismantle everything before starting the main work, since otherwise dust will settle on all enclosing structures (including the ceiling).

• Construction of partitions.

• Electrical laying.

In most cases it is chosen hidden wiring, in which you have to ditch the walls. That's why this type The work is also quite dirty.

• Leveling walls and floors.

Entrust the leveling of walls to professionals, since only they are able to do this complex job as efficiently and quickly as possible.

• Laying heating, water supply and ventilation.

Finishing work

Finishing works include:

• Finishing the ceiling (stretch, suspended, etc.).
• Wall decoration (paint, wallpaper, tiles, etc.).
• Floor finishing (linoleum, laminate, tiles, etc.).

At self-installation laminate, you may not properly maintain the distance from the wall, which can cause the flooring to swell. Our specialists are confident in the quality of the flooring made and provide a guarantee on the work.

• Finishing of the premises (installation of skirting boards, cornices, etc.).

What to do first - floor or partitions

What comes first - the floor or the partitions? It all depends on whether there is a need to level the floor. If yes, it is advisable to carry out rough work on the floor before installing the partitions, since this way it is easier to maintain the same height.

In the case when the floor is perfectly flat and requires only finishing, there is not much difference in what happens first (sticking wallpaper or laying laminate (or linoleum)). Most of the finishing work is clean.

• If you do not have experience in carrying out repairs, contact the specialists of Revecon. Our installers will do all the work (from installing partitions to installing flooring) as efficiently and quickly as possible.
• Don’t trust the apartment’s passport; measure it yourself using a tape measure.
• Use elastic materials for the first renovation of an apartment in a new building (for example, fabric wallpaper, stretch ceiling), since in the first 2 years the house shrinks.

Finishing work directly affects appearance and durability of interiors, thereby determining the degree of comfort of our stay in certain premises. Finishing work can be carried out on its own as part of the so-called “repair”, or it can be the final stage of construction.

Anyway, correct order finishing work plays important role. You can often hear the question - what is done first: the floor or the walls? This is not an idle question, since if the sequence of work is incorrect, you can ruin what has already been done.

In the order of finishing work, much depends on specific materials and technologies. As for walls and floors, in most cases, wall work is done first, and then floor work. Although, some experts prefer to first do rough work on the floor, then finish the walls, and then lay finishing coat floor.

In general terms, the order of finishing work is as follows

• First, dismantling work is always carried out, if required.
• Next comes the construction of partitions and preparation of areas for radiators. It is also recommended to carry out electrical wiring work at this stage. Please note that by partitions we do not mean plasterboard options- their time has not come yet.
• The subfloor is being installed. The base is waterproofed, the necessary communications are laid and a concrete screed is installed. To prevent the screed from becoming dirty during subsequent work, it is recommended to cover it with film or cardboard sheets.
• Plastering walls and ceilings. The specific technology (cement, gypsum) is selected depending on the subsequent finishing.
• Installation of internal window sills. In principle, this can be done before plastering the walls, however, in this case they will also need to be covered.
• Preparing the base for decorative flooring. This step is not necessary, since some types of coating can go directly onto the concrete screed.
• At this stage it is made wall decoration plasterboard, as well as the construction of plasterboard partitions. Since, in most cases, installation is carried out according to frame technology, the likelihood of severe contamination from these works is extremely low.
• Putty and sanding plasterboard panels or finishing walls
• Laying ceramic tiles on the walls, if planned, or priming the walls for painting. At the same stage, the initial painting of the walls is carried out.
• After this, you can lay wood covering floors (parquet, for example), since all “wet work” has been completed.
• Installation interior doors And floor skirting boards. By the way, Entrance door is installed very first, as soon as the “box” of the house is ready and the roof is installed.
• Finishing of wooden floors (varnishing, painting).
• Applying a second coat of paint to the walls. Naturally, you should reliably cover floors, baseboards and other elements that could potentially come under attack.
• Next comes the installation household appliances and furniture arrangement.

In what order should you do it? Finishing work when using Knauf dry floor screed? By and large, there is no difference between the type of screed. If you are going to build interior partitions or plaster already finished walls, then this must be done before leveling the floor. And it doesn’t matter whether you have a cement screed or not. Plaster should not hang above the floor. Especially if the walls have strong differences and the layer of plaster will be several centimeters.

It's another matter if you plan to make interior partitions from plasterboard. In terms of ease of installation, they are much easier to install on top of a dry screed. This is especially true if you don't have monolithic house, but panel or brick. Floor slabs may be uneven and lie with differences. It will be much easier to attach the guide profile to the floor elements of the finished dry screed. TO loose floor The guides are simply attached with self-tapping screws. Again, if you are attaching a guide profile through a dowel into a floor slab, then be prepared for the fact that the floor slabs in your house may be hollow. And not every dowel is suitable for such fastening.

If you do not plan to level the walls, but only want to putty them before applying the wallpaper, you can do this before installing a dry screed or after. By and large, there will be no difference. It is worth paying attention to the fact that if you putty the walls at first, then after installing the loose floor they will need to be dust-free. Because expanded clay dust can settle on the surface of the walls. And if you first made a prefabricated floor, then it should be covered with film before puttingty. Because GVL (the material from which the floor elements are made) is very difficult to clean from adhering, and even more so hardened putty.

If you are renovating an apartment where there are door frames, but for some reason you want to dismantle them after installing the floor, then file them down. So that they do not remain under the floor. This is what we always do if for some reason the old door frames have not yet been removed. Example in the photo:

Remember that you can save maximum time and money only by correctly planning the sequence of work. Then you won't have to do it double work where it could have been avoided.

What must be done first, screed gender or wall plaster? Correct solution will help save time and effort, eliminate damage to materials. To accept it, you need to know the specifics of that and the remaining stage of the repair work.

Wall plaster

Plastering stages walls:

1. Preparing the surface. Primer.
2. Applying plaster.
3. Grout or putty.

Preparation for plastering work:

• Cover the floor with cardboard.
• Clean the wall surface with a stiff brush. What to do if a layer of plaster or paint was applied before this time? You can remove it with a punch.

Preparing the walls

• Remove all accumulated debris.
• Check the verticality of the walls and level them if necessary.
• Clean imperfections with sanding paper.
• Pour the primer into a container and shake. Apply primer to the walls with a roller. Use a brush in the corners of the walls and under the surface of the ceiling.

Primer

• After 30 - 45 minutes, check the quality of application. Sometimes a second primer layer is required.

You can start plastering after 24 hours. The solution can be do from one part cement and three to four parts sand. Slowly add water until you get the consistency of sour cream.

Wall plaster:

• To install beacon profiles, apply small portions of M75 or Rotband mixture to the walls (they dry faster). Install beacons from ceiling to floor. Check the verticality of their position with a level gauge. If the wall surface is loose or very uneven, it is recommended to apply plaster to anchor mesh.

Guides

• Wet the wall surface. Use a spatula or paint bucket to sketch out the plaster, slowly moving from floor to ceiling. The rule is to level the layer.

Leveling

• Apply a second coat of plaster after 24 hours, in the same way as the first. The solution must be more liquid.
• After another 16 - 24 hours we begin grouting. You need to check in advance how dry it is. plaster. If it crumbles a little, then we proceed. The solution must be completely liquid. It is spread over the surface with a specialized grater.

Main! Instead of grout, you can use putty.

Screed

Layers of concrete floors are formed in the following sequence:

• Underlying layer. A dirt floor begins by removing the turf and creating a layer of sand and crushed stone or concrete. The floor on top of the ceiling in the apartment is made without an underlying base.

Floor preparation

• Defence from negative impact moisture. It is formed from film, membrane fabric, roll roofing material. Concrete can be coated with bitumen-based mastic.
• Thermal insulation. For unpaved floors it is required. For floors on ceilings, heat insulation is laid only in cold rooms or in rooms located above basements or arches. The heat-insulating layer is formed from expanded clay concrete, expanded polystyrene, min. cotton wool, artificial latex or other insulation material. This material also serves as sound insulation, which is needed for flooring.
• After laying anchor mesh. If the floor is supposed to be heated, then the heating system pipes are attached to it.

The next stage is pouring the screed. Do it like this:

• For getting smooth surface beacons made of metal profiles or wooden blocks are placed. If the area is large, then formwork will be required, since pouring concrete in one go will not work.

• Concrete is poured in a layer up to 8 cm thick with a shovel. They equalize it with a rule, moving it along the guides.

Leveling

• The formwork and beacons are removed after pouring is completed. The voids left behind are filled with concrete.
• The surface of the new floor is covered with film for two to three days.

Conclusion

So what should be done first - plastering or screed? All stages of plastering work are associated with the formation of a decent amount of dust, debris, and the likelihood of primer or plaster penetrating onto the floor and ceiling. Because of this, the walls are often done first. Otherwise before installation work floor coverings, you will need to spend a lot of time cleaning the floor surface.

Pouring floors

Is it possible to do the screed first? Its installation in an apartment on the floors is associated with some risk of getting dirty bottom part The walls are already covered with plaster. However, when pouring concrete floors On the ground, work involves removing soil, filling in sand and crushed stone, in other words, there is a very high probability of damaging the plaster with tools or getting it dirty. When making the final decision on what to do first, all factors and certain work conditions should be taken into account.
