How is Acrylic Flooring Applied?
To apply a quality acrylic flooring, there are some steps to be followed by the companies. We may summarize them as follows.
- Firstly, if the surface has defects on the floor where the application will be made, it is covered with a mixture.
- Then, with the acrylic floor covering, the coating process begins by paying attention to the details.
- The floor is covered in such a way that there is no gap from the top to the bottom.
- Provided that it is every 3 meters into the mold, pipe eyebolts to be used for wire mesh are placed.
- Within this border, 20 cm of which will remain in the soil, the area is first filled with large stones of 15 cm height and made very tight.
- On the compacted floor, an average of 15 cm of mixed stone dust with 50% stone dust is applied. During this process, 6-8/1000 slopes are given for each meter, both transversely and unilaterally. This inclination is applied in order to allow rain water to slide easily over the ground and to facilitate drying.
- While these processes are being carried out, the field is watered frequently and the ground is well settled in this way.
- It becomes ready for asphalting.
