When time is money: express installation of textile or elastic floor coverings on old subfloors

One of the most important factors on any construction site is time. It is also of great importance when replacing floor coverings. To save it, it is worth using modern solutions that will enable renovation works to be completed in just one day.

Work related to replacing the floor covering should naturally begin with removing the existing floor covering and any residues left behind. Most often, sanding the surface is enough to remove the remnants of strongly glued carpeting, as well as the remnants of old glue. The substrate must be as clean as possible, so after sanding it should be vacuumed very thoroughly using a professional industrial vacuum cleaner.

The next step is to level the ground. This part of the work may be the most time-consuming, so it is worth using solutions that will shorten this time as much as possible.

- UZIN NC 172 BiTurbo is a phenomenal product that facilitates the work of companies that, for some reason, do not have time for renovation - explains Janusz Dziewanowski, Sales Manager of the UZIN brand. - After priming the substrate (in the case of an absorbent substrate), a product with a layer thickness of 3 mm requires only 60 minutes to dry. After this time, you can start installing the PVC floor covering. For thicknesses over 3 mm - even 2 or 3 cm - the product dries within 3 hours.

The filler should be mixed in clean and cold water and then mixed with an electric mixer. UZIN NC 172 BiTurbo can be applied directly to the substrate or use an appropriate trowel. In the next step, vent the surface. This can be easily done by using a vent roller adapted to the thickness of the putty layer being applied.

In the next stage of assembly, glue should be used (preferably the fiber-reinforced version - UZIN KE 66), which is applied using a notched trowel and left for some time to partially dry. We place the carpet on the prepared substrate and then press it to the substrate using an appropriate roller.

- It often happens that the contractor installs the carpet far from the place of residence. In the case of ordinary filler, he must return to the construction site after the filler has dried, even after several days, to start installing the floor - adds Janusz Dziewanowski. - In the case of NC 172 BiTurbo, this is not necessary, because the entire work - filling and installation of the carpet - can be done by a specialist in one day. This means it saves at least 2 working days, fuel and a minimum of 48 additional man-hours. Very often it happens that the work has to be done overnight or simply when the facility is closed. The UZIN NC 172 BiTurbo mass is therefore the perfect solution for everyone for whom time is money.
