What is the most common focus during renovations? On the walls. Less often - on the ceiling. But for some reason, many people forget about the floors, believing that parquet or carpet will fit perfectly into any interior. And do not argue with this! But modern technologies allow you to create completely unique 3D floors that help you "transfer" a piece of green meadow or sea beach to your apartment. Knowing this, how can you forgive yourself for choosing a parquet that has become boring to everyone ?!
3D floors: what is it?
A 3D floor is a polymer floor, or a polymer fill. This type of flooring is unlike any other, because in its original state it is not hard, not soft, but rather even liquid.A 3D floor consists of 3 layers: base fill, pattern (or bulk filler) and base fill (finish layer). It is the latter that creates the 3D effect! The drawing of 3D floors is selected by the customer. It can be a unique photo, painting or portrait. But the floor will look the most advantageous, in which this layer is represented by loose filler - sand, shells, ornamental greenery or leaves.
You can pour a 3D polymer floor with the help of specialists, or you can do it yourself. However, in the latter case, you will have to study a sufficient amount of information so as not to make mistakes in the future.
Important! The dismantling of polymer floors is very difficult. And if it becomes necessary to “repair” part of the floor, it will not work without replacing the entire canvas!
Types of bulk coating
Self-leveling 3D floors differ in:
- sizes;
- composition;
- specifications.
Particular attention when choosing the type of filling is given to the materials themselves, which are part of it. After all, they will directly affect the thickness of the base and finish layers, the level of their transparency and the degree of strength. The thicker the finishing layer, the stronger the self-leveling floor and the more pronounced the 3D effect.
Advantages and disadvantages of self-leveling floors
Self-leveling 3D floors have a lot of advantages, which distinguishes them from standard floor coverings, namely:
- evenness and smoothness of the surface;
- seamlessness;
- resistance to friction and moisture;
- shock resistance;
- non-toxicity;
- ease of care.
In addition to these advantages, it should be noted the high resistance of the flooded floors not only to ultraviolet radiation, but also to many chemicals. But before choosing this type of coating, it should be noted that the self-leveling floor:
- dries for a long time;
- has a rather high cost
- if a large amount of liquid gets on it, it becomes very slippery and dangerous to health.
However, no matter how many flaws there are in self-leveling 3D floors, their beauty will not leave anyone indifferent. And the opportunity to develop an independent design of the filler layer for such floors and bring uniqueness and creativity to the interior of your apartment will definitely push everyone to do repairs and lay a 3D filler floor.
