Recently, decorative bulk floors have become in high demand among the population. There are more and more companies that are training in the technology of their production.
You can quickly organize your business. Bulk floor can be manufactured at minimal cost, while receiving substantial profit. It is only important to know about certain nuances of this business. Such a business can bring a very substantial income to its owner.
Essence of the idea
Decorative bulk floors have such characteristics as attractive appearance, resistance to moisture, as well as long service life. They are made using a polymer coating to which epoxy or polyurethane resins are added. Decorative bulk floors look good in restaurants, banquet halls, offices, and recently they began to be made in houses and apartments.
Polyurethane floors are notable for their unreliable operation. They tend to fade in the sun, they remain scratches from heels that can not be restored. Epoxy floors are more resistant to sunlight, and scratches are quickly restored by sanding. In the raw materials intended for the manufacture of decorative floors, there are no toxins, it is not able to cause allergies and has fire-fighting properties.
Production of bulk floors
To make high-quality floors, you will need to bring in craftsmen with the appropriate qualifications. This work is quite delicate and requires certain knowledge, as well as skill. Floors are considered to be of poor quality if various specks or air bubbles get into the resin during the manufacturing process. Before applying polymer, the floor needs preparation.
The surface must be filled with a special screed, which will make it absolutely even. Next, a layer of resin is applied. After it has completely dried, it is required to polish the resulting top layer. The surface in some cases may require additional varnish. If you organize a business, an experienced team will be able to produce bulk floors in a week, so you need to hire only professionals. And this should be taken into account when drawing up a business plan, since the payment of qualified personnel fully corresponds to their skill level.
Materials such as impregnation and primers, waterproofing and topcoat will be required if you are using bulk floors. A business plan must take all of this into account. In addition, you will need special tools such as a spray gun and a doctor blade. You can rent a milling machine at first, or do without it at all.
Some subtleties
Production of bulk floors is a seasonal business, so it is better to start it in the warm season. With the advent of spring, customers in need of such services appear like snowdrops, and in winter there may well be a decline in demand. Your company will pay off in just a couple of months. For you, the best option is to cooperate with a permanent, experienced team of workers who are always ready to earn. You can start your activity with the implementation of several orders for your friends at cost. So you will gain the necessary experience and work skills.
The scope of the enterprise
Anyone who has encountered repairs at least once is well aware of how popular bulk floors have become. This is due to their environmental safety, as well as a very spectacular appearance. Such a coating is very expensive, but it can completely replace a laminate, tile, linoleum, and also other types of coatings.
Bulk floors have good resistance to mechanical damage, as already mentioned above. Their perfectly smooth surface, water resistance, as well as antibacterial properties - this is a number of points that make such a coating a rather interesting solution. All these properties are due to the fact that in the dense structure of the bulk floor, bacteria and fungi simply have nowhere to breed.
Work Requirements
The bulk floor is laid on a standard cement or concrete base. The grade of concrete should be M200 or higher. The moisture content of the base should be less than 4%. Before starting the production of bulk floors, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned of the remnants of old coatings, dirt and dust. Stains can be removed using a mosaic grinder.
The work should be carried out at a constant temperature, eliminating the possibility of a sharp decrease, otherwise this may cause the formation of condensate. On the basis there should not be chips, cracks and potholes, otherwise the production of bulk floors will be carried out with a violation of technology. In the presence of defects, it is necessary to carry out work to eliminate them. Porous substrates must be impregnated with liquid seals. At this stage, the quality of the future coating is already being determined. If necessary, the surface impregnation should be repeated several times.
The adhesion of the polymer and the base depends on the degree of surface roughness, as well as on the absence of various films or a layer of cement milk on it, with which the coating can simply peel off from the base. This error is one of the most common when applying polymer coatings.
Work stages
Flooring is carried out using a fairly simple technology that can be mastered independently. It is supposed to carry out such basic steps as preparing a concrete base, applying soil or impregnating concrete, puttying the surface, and pouring with a top coat. The cost of work is usually calculated depending on the surface area, as well as on the special wishes of the client, for example, a photo image, 3D or multi-colored design. And this usually indicates the need to hire experienced designers or artists to complete the project.
Specialization
Do not specialize narrowly. To get a good quality income, it is better to serve not only residential premises, but also production shops, various offices and more. There you will not need to somehow particularly fantasize, but you will come across the opportunity to work on large areas.
It is worth offering the services of your business to the owners of restaurants, bars, night clubs, as well as other establishments, because the bulk floor in them will not only look elegant, but will also become practical in terms of cleaning. In addition, you can make bulk bar counters and countertops.
