Saga about vetonite

How many any construction materials, hitherto unknown persons, have appeared in our markets and in shops! Simply head around goes! Especially when you start to search for something for yourself personally. Earlier to me carried: repair in my apartment already is a lot of years successively my friend Valera did. Money took a little, and the most important thing, by kindness sincere relieved me of such terrible thing, as a trip on the markets and purchase of all necessary for repair. It charged with this mission itself(himself). And here when as ripened necessity of the next repair, I with easy heart have called Valere and with horror have heard, that it has broken a foot and lays now in plaster. To time before arrival of children at me remains very little – only two weeks. I have started to rush about in panic in search of the person who would help me.

The purpose, actually, at me was one – to change deal floors. Boards mercilessly creaked and published at night any potustoronnie sounds. So to live it became impossible. «Do not worry, – friends have told to me, – there is one person, call Arcady Mihajlovich. Checked up, reliable, skilled. Tomorrow will call». Touched, I have passed on plaintively creaking floor. «The new, silent, silent life really will begin, – I dreamt. – here I will begin to live!»

Arcady Mihajlovich has called next day. It was laconic, as well as it is necessary to the present professional, silently has listened to my complaints to behaviour of floors, has learnt the address, has short told: «Tomorrow in 10 mornings I will be. Wait!» There has arrived the saviour exactly in 10, silently has passed on apartment, has listened to rehashes of boards, pokovyiryal the linoleum put from above, has looked at me strictly and the sentence has pronounced: «Boards we will remove, a floor we will fill in vetonitom, from above we will put linoleum. You will purchase all – call». Also has left, having kept me with an open mouth and a mute question in eyes. «Go there – I do not know where, purchase that – I do not know that».

There was nothing to do. Since morning I have sat down in the car and have gone to the nearest shop of construction materials for mysterious vetonitom. In shop to me has carried: one of the racks, lasting along a wall, from top to bottom akkuratnenko has been laid out weighty enough by sight by paper packages with an inscription «Vetonit». I have some times passed along a rack, trying to understand for what contents of these packages can be necessary for me, than they differ from each other and how many these contents it is necessary to purchase, that Arcady Mihajlovich was happy? After the third calling I have understood, that to me not to understand this abundance, and have shy called the seller, with interest observing of my walks.

– To me it is necessary vetonit, – I have told fairly, – but I do not know, that this such and for what. To me was veleno it to purchase. Help, please.

– Vetonit is generally the trade mark, – with readiness the manager has rushed to me on a gain. – there is such Finnish firm "Optirok" (Optiroc). It makes the different goods for the different purposes under one name. Is shpaklevki «Vetonit» for walls and ceilings, is kleyuschie structures "Vetonit" for a tile, is zatirki for seams «Vetonit», there are levelling mixes for a floor, too, accordingly, under the same name.

– Correctly! – I was delighted, having heard a familiar word "floor". – Here about last it is possible more in detail?

– Please. At us 10 kinds of levelling mixes «Vetonit» here are presented. Main "binding" force in them – usual cement.

– And it is impossible to manage simply cement? – I have inconsiderately enough interrupted the seller to ask a question tormenting me. – this what for is necessary vetonit and than it is better?

– In that all also has put, that cement is the last century in comparison with vetonitom. Besides cement and sand special additives which "force" a solution to harden fast are included in structure vetonita and perfectly to be levelled. If you fill in a floor with usual cement, I can precisely tell to you – ideally equal it never will be. And to you, how much I guess, it is necessary more exactly.

– By itself. Here only I do not understand, why vetonitov for a floor so it is a lot of these?

– Their difference from each other that at identical temperature of air (+20°S) and relative humidity of 50 % they dry and harden with different speed. Other difference consists in number of water, which to these mixes add to receive a solution, – all of them, as you can see, dry. There is also the general: any kind vetonita is not subject to colouring and cannot be used without floor cover which lay from above. Function vetonita – only preparation of a floor for this cover.

I continued to study show-windows and painfully tried to understand: what all the same I need to purchase?

– Here I look, at you here is written: «levelling mixes», «self-levelled mixes». It is an error or really different vetonityi?

– No error is present, – the seller has patiently answered next my amateurish question. – these mixes differ fluctuation. Self-levelled spread, practically without assistance. If a premise big, as a rule, such mixes fill in by means of the pumping over system – easier speaking, the pump. And levelling require active sharing of "the human factor»: they need to be smeared manually, shpatelem.

I have tried to digest a little somehow the avalanche which has fallen down me of the information.

– Means, vetonit it is necessary for floor alignment. And what on it put from above? Linoleum, for example, it is possible? – I have smoothly transferred conversation to a theme interesting me.

– Yes everything! Linoleum, a tile, a parquet, carpet covers – everything, that want … In general vetonit – a piece universal: it suits both premises, and for public buildings. Fill in or "smear" it directly on a basis (it, by the way, can be not only a concrete floor, but also a tree, plaster, a stone, a ceramic tile). Only to prepare a basis it is necessary correctly.

– What means "correctly"? – I have become agitated.

– First of all carefully to clear it of oil, cement glue, that is from all that can prevent «shvatyivaniyu». It is necessary to walk on a floor a usual vacuum cleaner to remove a dust. And only after that…

– To put vetonit! – I have joyfully exclaimed, feeling, that I become the professional.

– Not absolutely. That is vetonit, of course, but other – a first coat «Vetonit Praymer». It is necessary, that then the cement mortal "was well linked" to a basis. It is important to put a first coat a thin layer, without any "puddles" and smudges. For this purpose is better to use a spray.

«I hope, at Arcady Mihajlovicha the spray is, and I should not purchase it», – I have thought.

– If the spray is not present, – the seller, probably, was the telepathist, – it is possible to put a first coat a brush. If a surface dry and porous to ground it is necessary two times.

I have mentally tried to estimate forthcoming costs.

– And what for in general this first coat is necessary? Perhaps I will manage and without it?

The seller has stood in perplexity:

– Well as! Who puts vetonit without preliminary priming!

Probably, I was its first interlocutor who has stated such crazy thought. I have tried to be justified shy.

– Understand, I am am excited exclusively with a question of the finance. «Praymer» you, probably, money costs?

The seller has heaved a deep sigh.

– Is not present, unfortunately, without a first coat not to manage in any way. As I have already told, it improves «stsepku» a mix and a floor. Besides, the first coat does not allow to be formed to air vials. And it means, that vetonit will be smooth and strong.

Conversation on first coats rather has bothered me, and I have decided at last to find out, which mix to me to choose.

– To family vetonitov which put manually, – voodushevlenno my patient interlocutor told, – concern «Vetonit 1000», «Vetonit 1500», «Vetonit 3000», «Vetonit 4000», «Vetonit 5000» and «Vetonit Vaateri Plus». At each – the features. «Vetonit 1000» – a quick-drying mix with additives of fiber glass which is used for reconstruction wooden, concrete, stone, and also the weaker sexes. «Vetonit 1500» – byistrotverdeyuschaya a mix for concrete floors. «Vetonit 3000» – finishing rovnitel for definitive alignment. If in a floor it is a lot of cracks and they deep enough, say, more than 20 mm, them fill in «Vetonitom 4000» or «Vetonitom 5000». And if cracks more than 50 mm, «Vetonitom 6000». By the way, if floors at you creak, as you confirm, vetonit it will correct, because all hollows will be filled in.

– And «Vetonit Vaateri Plus»?

– Here history special. It is a self-levelled mix for alignment of concrete floors. But unlike the colleagues this vetonit requires other first coat – «Vetonit Praymer MD-16». (About My God! When these songs about first coats will end?). It spray or rub in a basis a soft brush, and then it dries within 1–3 hours. 10 litres suffice on 100 sq. m. So that the heavy expense is received not such. If you purchase «Vaateri Plus» consider: to put it it is necessary instantly – right after razbavleniya and at one go. For realisation of this fascinating process sharing of two persons is necessary: one spills a ready mix, other prepares the next portion.

I have there and then imagined, as I help Arcady Mihajlovichu to spill a mix. This variant disappeared.

– And something for one person is? – With hope I have asked.

– All the rest. However, all vetonityi needs to be put quickly enough – within 15–30 minutes from the moment of water addition. Then water evaporates, and the mix dries up.

– And if casually it is too much water to add?

– In no event. It will be reflected in durability of your floor. To the worst, certainly. But let’s return to vetonitam, – my interlocutor, probably was not appeased, having found in my person of the grateful listener. – there is such remarkable thing – «Vetonit Self Shifted to the Left Renoveyshn». It is a self-levelled mix with which it is possible to fill in on already existing floors if you would not like them to tear off or not such possibility. The same system: clear a floor of a dirt, close up apertures and deepenings, vacuum, ground «Praymerom» and fill in a mix. Yes, by the way, and the area of your apartment the big?

– Rooms of 20 sq.m. and 30 sq.m., a corridor of 10 sq.m., kitchen approximately as much. And what?

– I ask to warn: the width of a plot with which fill in vetonitom, not should exceed 6–8 m. Otherwise it is necessary to establish terminators – such special reyki – and to fill in vetonit with parts. It do that the mix spread in regular intervals. And to mix it is better a mixer…

«I will not give, – I have spitefully thought. – let the wants, the and mixes».

–… Or an electrodrill with a special nozzle. The area at you small, therefore to you, probably, is better to put a mix manually, steel shpatelem. And if metric area decent in this case it fill in by means of the pumping over system. Its capacity – 50–100 litres a minute.

I have recollected a fairy tale about the magic pot, which itself cooked porridge and that it to stop, it was necessary to tell a magic word. The hero of a fairy tale is a word, unfortunately, has forgotten. While he recollected it, the pot has filled up with half-city porridge. The pumping over system was presented to me for some reason in the form of such pot. I even was glad, that the area of my apartment more than modest.

But here I have caught myself on thought that was definitively confused in all these vetonitah, and to me it is necessary to systematise all these data somehow. In shop I have typed any booklets, have gone home and have made such table:

Mixes for alignment of floors Vetonit

With this table I have returned to shop. The seller has met me as the old acquaintance, has looked the table and has told:

– All is good, but where the prices? Here, write down: packing «Vetonita 3000» (25 kg) costs 150 roubles, «Vetonita 4000» – 200 roubles, «Vetonita 5000» – 125 roubles, «Vetonita Vaateri Plus» – 150 roubles, «Vetonita Self Renoveyshn» – 205 roubles. The prices for first coats about same.

– Thanks for the information. But what to me all the same to choose, what will advise? – I was not appeased. – and the plate I have made that, but still I stay in some doubt. Perhaps, is any vetonityi, checked up by time and experience of my predecessors?

– Certainly, is. «Vetonit Vaateri Plus», for example. An irreplaceable thing for repair of apartments. But it is calculated only for alignment of concrete floors, and at you if I have correctly understood, wooden. If you remove boards, take it and if is not present «Vetonit 1000». It is possible to use for alignment of timber floors «Vetonit Renoveyshn». But work with it trained workmen can only specially, and still in this case it is necessary to put on a floor a grid from fiber glass…

– No, further and to listen I do not want. Is not present at me either special workers, or grids any. Better boards I will remove also this most «Vaateri Plus» I will fill in. Why it, by the way, "Plus"? Plus that?

Aha! At last my question has taken the seller unawares!

– To tell the truth, I do not know, but I will necessarily ask.

– Yes, ask. And then to me will tell, all right? – An angelic voice I have told and, having taken advantage of minute confusion, have added. – for now will help me all it in the car to push?

– Certainly. It is required to you for your apartment about 120 kg, or 5 packages. Still the first coat canister. And for zadelki hollows – «Vetonit 4000». One package too will suffice. Now we will load.

Have loaded. To go it was necessary two times. I have taken it kindly to the house, have called Arcady Mihajlovichu. It has arrived next day. Is better this day never would come. But it already absolutely other history…
