Rubber Floor Construction Technology

There are many types of floors, including rubber floors, ceramic floor tiles, and solid wood floors. Each floor has its own unique characteristics. For example, rubber flooring, do you know about rubber flooring? Rubber flooring is also called sound-proof rubber flooring, gym rubber flooring, and can be used indoors and outdoors. The following is an introduction to the construction process of rubber flooring
Rubber floor construction technology
On-site requirements:
① It is forbidden to install at the site temperature below 10°C.
② All subfloors must be dry, flat, crack-free, reasonably constructed, and clean. Free from dust, paint, paraffin, lubricating oil, grease, asphalt, old adhesives and other foreign impurities.
③ The rubber floor adopts seamless splicing, the splicing seams are straight, smooth, firmly bonded, and there is no obvious color difference in appearance.
④ All hardening treatments, quenching treatments and destructive compounds must be removed only by mechanical means.
⑤ The humidity of the ground floor should be lower than 2.5%, and the ground floor with a humidity higher than 2.5% is not recommended. If such humidity is higher than 2.5%, waterproof treatment should be carried out in accordance with industry standards.
⑥ Surface unevenness within 5 mm can be leveled with self-leveling after primer coating.
Construction preparation:
The rubber floor should be moved to the construction site in advance and adapted to the site temperature for no less than 24 hours. When laying, it should be laid first, and pay attention to keep the direction of the arrow on the back of the floor in the same direction, and then splice and cut according to the terrain and design plan.
Construction steps:
A． positioning measurement
l Determine the center point of each end wall and connect these points to the center part of the room by drawing a chalk line.
l Determine the center of this line and draw a vertical line with chalk through the carpenter's square to join the two pairs of side walls.
B． Installation of floorboards
l After the room is properly measured, you can use these measurements to measure a convenient and effective starting point.
l After the first row has been laid, adjust the row of floorboards so that they are in a straight line by using a straight edge or tight rope.
l After the installation work is completed, check the unit coating quantity of enough floor boards.
Notice:
--A proper trowel must be used to match the proper notch to ensure adequate adhesion.
--Rubber floorboards installed under pressure will not produce raised wrinkles.
C． Bonding of floorboards
l In order to facilitate installation and obtain the longest glue application time, pour the adhesive on the installation ground as quickly as possible and spread it out.
lUse the recommended trowel to spread the adhesive while spreading it equally on the adhesive part.
l Use a 50 kg roller to roll the floor surface to flatten the gaps in the adhesive to ensure complete removal of the trapped air.
l Regularly check the floorboards to verify whether they have good adhesive extension ability.
D． pass through
After the floorboards on the ground have been rolled, all traffic should be avoided except where necessary for the installer to walk carefully, and the adhesive portion should be restricted. The adhesive should take light walking for a full 12 hours. Frequent walking should be avoided for 24 hours. Under normal circumstances, it takes 48 hours for the adhesive to fully set.
E． Subsequent final application
Check that the adhesive adheres to all floors.
No access for 12 hours.
Frequent walking is prohibited within 24 hours.
The passage of heavy equipment or vehicles is prohibited for 72 hours.
Protect the paved ground from sunlight, moisture and other construction labor during and after installation by covering it for 1-2 days.
During the setting of the adhesive, the recommended temperature (15~30°C) should be maintained.
Avoid touching the previously cleaned and finished floor for 72 hours to allow the adhesive to fully set.
When the adhesive has not fully set or the original goo is too thin to completely join the floorboards, it will lift slightly at the edge line. In this case, sandbags or weights should be used to press against the raised edge line until the adhesive is fully set and adequately bonded.
