The instructions were observed, filling is normal. It turned out ideally the dimensions 5.5 x 3.5, only the entire floor is in tension, two months later cracks went into the entire canvas. Do not take chances.

Good budget mix for parquet or laminate

A comment

Prospector pouring bulk floor prospector already build times. The quality of the resulting surface is quite satisfactory. The base was a conventional concrete slab primed three times. The last time an expensive silicate primer Tikkurila. They generally offered us "Extra", but I decided not to save even that.

The work was as follows:

The mixture was kneaded by a partner, added about 6 liters of water per 1 bag. The solution was poured onto the floor and accelerated into the eye with a wide spatula, and then to a flat surface with a gear roller. 3 bags went to a room of 15 m2 with a layer of about 0.4-0.6 cm. I think that the overspending amounted to about ¾ bag. Before starting the pouring, I sprayed the primed base with water from the spray gun. Joints and bumps were ground with a rough sandpaper on the second day after pouring. Moved on a special spiky sole. Linoleum in the corridor and laminate in the rooms began to be laid in a week.

pros

Affordable value, decent quality.

Minuses

Prospectors dry building mix - made a bad impression

A comment

I used the prospectors' practical brand, I was very dissatisfied with both the result of the work and the process itself. When adding water at the maximum value specified in the instructions, the spreadability of the mixture was not any, I had to experiment with water at different batches. Consumption is also much more than stated. I went 1.5 times more with a screed thickness of 1.5-2 svm ..

First it was equated by a gear roller, and then by a two-meter level. With that, he did not pull along the corners, but patted vibrorails from above in the manner. From patting, a wave formed and the mixture spread itself. But all the same, after drying, he found small mounds that had to be ground. Walked on the surface a day later in self-made gear slippers. I laid the laminate a week later, after drying completely.

cheap

does not spread

So far, no negative manifestations, but in doubt

A comment

To repair the apartment I bought the Quick-hardener Prospector up to 80 mm thick. On the packaging and on the website it is written that it is on a cement basis, but in practice it is too light, looks like gypsum additives. For the bathroom I decided not to use it.

Before starting global work - filling the room in 23 sq. M.I decided to experiment and filled some cracks in the cement-sand screed. Knead 2 times in small portions, with different amounts of water. Despite the fact that the second time the mixture was clearly liquid, it did not spread on its own, I had to level it with a wide grater.

Later, when I filled the room, kneading 2 bags in one go in the barrel. I found the optimal combination of water and dry mix - 6 liters per bag. In this consistency, the self-leveling floor is most easily distributed over the surface.

pros

cheap hardens really fast

Minuses

it is very difficult to distribute on the base, it’s almost impossible to fill a large area; When pouring with markers, the joints of different sections come out with irregularities, the height difference between fillings can reach 1-1.5 mm

Universal, affordable high-quality bulk floor

A comment

Bulk floor "Prospectors" was used with us to fill the entire apartment. It was recommended by the workers themselves who made repairs. It was poured onto a cement screed as a finishing leveling coating before installing the laminate. The masters managed the work quickly. In fact, a rather big three-room apartment was flooded in 1 working day. The surface turned out smooth without bubbles and cracks (although these bubbles under the laminate can not be seen).

The floor was very fast, the pouring started and finished on Thursday, and already on Sunday the installation of the laminate began. I was worried that the floor was not dry, and the craftsmen just want to quickly cut down some money and move to another object, but before starting work, I myself was convinced that the surface was absolutely dry.

pros

Affordable, dries very quickly, gives an even, solid surface

Minuses

upon operation during the year absolutely no problems were identified

Term of use

less than a month

The “prospectors” bulk floor is practical - the quality of the material is high, but it is very demanding on the preparation of the foundation

A comment

I must say right away that I was dissatisfied with the quality of the work done, but I blame myself exclusively for everything. Very irresponsibly approached the base primer. In some forums, 3 layers of high-quality deep penetration primer were advised, in others, 2 layers of deep and one Bctoncontact, so that the connection between the floor and the base is better.

I primed only 2 times, taking a primer of not the highest quality, and even quite casually leaving a few unprocessed bald spots in the second layer. And here is the result, the water from the solution in the place of bald spots quickly went into the concrete floor and as a result the floor was faster, but small depressions appeared on the surface compared to the general floor level, it was necessary to add a specially purchased thin-layer level.

The mixture itself is not distributed on the floor surface on its own, you have to work as a rule, then go through the needle roller again. With a thickness of the working layer of 0.5-2.5 cm, the overspending went 1.5 bags per 10 squares.

pros

affordable cost

Minuses

need to be very carefully primed, overspending material

Himself a Master

Prospectors High-speed - fully consistent with its name

A comment

Last summer, it was poured with a bulk floor from the producer Prospectors, the brand Fast-acting the entire apartment (except for the bathroom). The total area of about 85 m2. I worked and two more friends. They kneaded each in a separate tub, a bag of the mixture, strictly observing the proportions of water.Due to the fact that they were mixed in turn, the pouring process was continuous. But despite this, some irregularities were not avoided. Then I had to grind the hillocks and additionally fill in the recesses. It should be noted that in the last room there were much fewer defects, so I think here it is not a mixture, but skill.

A little tormented with the selection of a tool for alignment. At first he worked as a rule, then a gear roller and finally a simple wooden mop. Mop is the most convenient. It works with the mixture very quickly, the room about 20 squares flooded for 20-25 minutes.

pros

hardens quickly, cheap

Minuses

it’s not spreading itself, it’s difficult to distribute and level it, the material is not for beginners - it does not tolerate errors
