Which ceiling is better painted or after vetonite. How to independently choose the finishing putty vetonit and use it in repair work

If you remember, we have already written about the wonderful properties of Vetonite. True, this concerned only one of its varieties - Vetonite for floors. But, as it turned out, the family of materials called Vetonite also includes mixtures for walls and ceilings, tile adhesives, and much, much more. Knowing from experience that it’s better to check everything for yourself (besides, the need for another repair is ripe), I went to the same, already familiar, store to the sweet and sympathetic consultant Misha.

To my surprise, he immediately recognized me (apparently, last time I got him with my ridiculous questions). But he did not hide in the back room, he immediately approached.

- Repair again? Misha asked sympathetically.

- Yes, but now full program. And the floor, and the ceiling, and the tiles need to be glued, - I complained to him.

- Well, nothing, nothing, - he consoled. - Now we will pick everything for you. Only for the floor, why was Vetonit needed? You, in my opinion, last time took Vetonit for the floor?

- Yes, - I agreed, - but this is for a new apartment, we moved. She is in a terrible state, without repair - no way.

“Let's not rush,” advised the sensible Misha, straightening his fashionable tie. - LET'S START WITH THE CEILING. What is yours?

“White,” I said confidently.

“I mean, dry or wet, and what is on it: wallpaper, old plaster or just a concrete base? And what walls? Why am I asking? For walls and ceilings, there are several types of putty, plaster and primer. Before choosing what you need, you need to determine what kind of substrate, in which room the material will be used (dry or wet), what layer thickness is required.

First, about the plaster. If you're renovating a bathroom, basement, or other damp space, choose stucco Vetonit TT, make no mistake ($8.1). It is mixed with water in the ratio of 6 liters of water per 1 bag (25 kg). Mix preferably within 1 minute using a drill with a nozzle. Then the solution settles for 15 minutes and is mixed again for about 30 seconds.

“It must be said,” added detailed Misha, “that Vetonit TT- the mixture is universal, suitable for both dry walls and ceilings. True, there is one detail: if the surface is very dry, it must be moistened. In addition, it must be clean, free of dust, oil stains and also solid. And yet - do not forget to cover the windows and doors with something before you start work.

Four hours later, after final mixing, Vetonit TT can be applied to the surface. This is best done with a steel spatula or by spraying.

“I have nothing to spray with, it’s better with a spatula,” I immediately decided.

“With a spatula, with a spatula,” the accommodating Misha agreed. – The minimum layer is 2 mm, the maximum layer is 7 mm. And if you do several layers, then keep in mind: each layer must dry completely, and this, I warn you, will take at least 1 day. Then the dried layer must be sanded and, if necessary, moistened again. In addition, plasters can be used for leveling. Vetonit B and Vetonit L(layer thickness from 1 to 3 mm).

And then Misha suddenly asked:

By the way, why do you need all these details? Have you decided to make repairs on your own?

I waved my hands.

- No, of course, but I have to follow it, otherwise you know how it happens ...

Misha apparently knew, because he cheerfully continued:

- After the workers finish with the primer, we proceed to the second part of the Marleson ballet.

- To putty? - I clarified.

Misha looked at me with respect.

- Exactly. Putties are the so-called "finishing" materials, they can be used as a final, topcoat. These include Vetonit VX, Vetonit KR and Vetonit LR($8.5 per pack). If you do not have damp rooms, then it will do Vetonit KR or Vetonit LR. These are adhesive materials. Vetonit VX the good thing is that it is more versatile, suitable for bathrooms and other wet and dry rooms, and therefore it costs more.

All these putties fit perfectly on walls and ceilings treated with plasters. Vetonit V, L or TT. You can then do nothing at all with the ceiling, and paste over or paint the walls as you wish. By the way, my advice to you: do not try to pour the remaining solutions into the sink or toilet. The consequences are simply unpredictable.

- And can, for example, then lay the tiles?

- For this, “finishing” putty is not suitable, and it is not needed. Enough Vetonita TT, only the surface must be well dried. I must say that all types of Vetonite have two very important qualities: they are easy and convenient to apply, and the whole process of preparing the material for work takes a few minutes. And if everything is chosen correctly, then there is a saving of time and money.

- Understood. What to do with the floor? After the old linoleum was stripped from it, the floor turned out to be all crooked and oblique. And under the linoleum - bare concrete.

“Everything is simple here,” Misha assured me. GO TO THE FLOOR. The material is again selected depending on the conditions. Vetonites for the floor can be used for any base, especially for concrete. Our material has been tested and tested under laboratory conditions in Finland, taking into account the angle of inclination of the surface, the thickness of the layer and the setting time. It has been established that after 10 hours the applied Vetonite can be walked on. And in order to fix the topcoat on top, it is enough to grind it. I already told you last time, but if you forgot how to do it right, let me remind you.

So, your floor is concrete. So let's take Vetonit Vaateri Plus($11.9). Beautiful versatile material, then you can put any floor covering on it: tiles, parquet, laminate, cork, carpets. What will you have on the floor?

“I don’t know yet,” I thought. “Probably, in the kitchen there is linoleum, and in the rooms and in the hallway there is some kind of carpet ... By the way, you remember Vaateri Plus. There, if I am not mistaken, there are some subtleties, in my opinion, this material should be vacuumed ...

- Quite right, - Misha rejoiced at my memory. - But let's put everything in order. The substrate must be free of dust, oil and other water-soluble substances. If there are depressions in the concrete more than 20 mm, they must be repaired. Vetonite 4000 or Vetonite 5000. Then you need to treat the concrete with a primer (for 1 part - 5 parts of water). And just before the primer, the surface is really thoroughly vacuumed.

The initial primer is rubbed into the base with a soft brush and dries for two hours. This priming is necessary to ensure that Vetonite adheres better to the base, air bubbles do not appear and water from Vetonite does not go into the concrete. (Concrete, as you know, is a porous material and absorbs water very well.)

Then you need to take a drill with a nozzle, a bag Vetonit Vaateri Plus, 5.5 - 6 liters of water. We mix everything for 1-2 minutes and immediately pour it on the floor. And I advise you to pour it in strips 30-40 cm wide - this way the mixture is distributed better. This fun activity requires two people. One should pour, the other should prepare the next portion, because you need to try to fill the whole room in one go. We recommend applying a layer of 4 to 20 mm. The next day you can walk on the floor. And after two weeks, you can put linoleum or the coating that you decided to lay.

- By the way, what should I do if I suddenly decide to arrange underfloor heating? It is now fashionable, and actually comfortable.

Misha was not taken aback:

– Vetonit Renovation! This is what you need. The material is also very popular, easy to use and economical (its price is $ 11.8 per pack). With it, you can restore a variety of floors: wood, concrete, stone, tiled. And, of course, it is perfect for underfloor heating.

Application rules are almost the same. The recommended application layer is from 4 to 30 mm. The dosage of water is the same as for Vaateri Plus. I can also recommend Vetonit 3000($11.9), finishing "leveler" for concrete floors. You can walk on it after 4 hours, and lay the flooring in a day or two. Super economical material.

But, sadly, any material can be spoiled. So I'll tell you about COMMON ERRORS.

First. Always use the original primer Primer MD16. The primer, as I said, creates an adhesive base between the base and the material. Before applying it, the base must be vacuumed.

Second. You can not add more water than it is written in the instructions - this affects the strength of the mixture.

Third. Stir the mixture must also be strictly according to the instructions and, of course, not by hand. By the way, if you use a pump for application, as they do in Finland ...

Here Misha faltered and, drawing himself up, continued:

- So, if you use a pump, you can cover areas up to 500 square meters!

I imagined endless expanses filled with Vetonite and asked:

“I still have to lay tiles in the bathroom and in the kitchen. What is the best way to glue it?

- It is better to glue the tiles on ADHESIVES FOR TILE- Misha said logically. - It is best to choose for this purpose Vetonite Plus Fix($4.9). It is the cheapest of Vetonites, and at the same time it can be used for laying tiles both on the floor and on the walls. As usual, we start by preparing the base. The base should be even, but we will assume that we have already leveled it with one of the leveling mortars for the walls. Naturally, the surface must be clean and dust-free. The dry mixture is diluted with water in a ratio of 25 kg of the mixture to 6.5 - 7 liters of water (approximately 3: 1). Well, it is clear that the dosage should not be violated, the technology must be observed.

Mixing takes place in two stages using the same drill with a nozzle. First stage: mixing with a small amount of water and settling for 10 minutes. Second step: adding the remaining water. All solution must be used within 4 hours. Approximately 4–5 kg of solution is consumed per square meter, then you can calculate for yourself. The mixture sets for ten minutes. The tile is laid by firmly pressing into the solution, and at the same time the surfaces of the tile and joints are leveled.

How to check how well the tile has stuck? Very simple: try to tear off a test tile from the base. Doesn't come off? It means everything is OK. Move on. If tile big size, then the solution must be applied to the tile itself, too. If the tiles are laid on the floor, then keep in mind that you cannot walk on the fresh floor for 2-3 days. For wall tiles, the drying time is slightly shorter: 1–2 days.

When everything is thoroughly dry, you can start grouting the seams. For walls, I recommend “Vetonit grout”, it can also be used for floor tiles. For the floor, “Grout for Vetonit clinker tiles” is also suitable. In fact, there are several varieties of adhesives for Vetonit tiles, but they all have the same qualities as the rest of the materials from the Vetonit family, which I have already told you about.

Misha took a breath.

- And, finally, the last. Let me remind you again: it is better to close and hang all windows and doors with something so as not to spoil it. And ... I do not advise you to violate the instructions for use. Everything is always written on the packaging, what and how to do. And if you need help, contact me, I will help, - polite Misha added.

On this we parted. All the necessary Vetonites were purchased by me in the right quantity. By the way, during the repair, the workers were, in my opinion, pretty surprised by my non-female awareness of the application of solutions for various purposes. Know ours!

If the room has normal humidity and temperature, there is ventilation, the layer dries out in 2-3 days, after which they proceed to decorative surface finishing - painting, wallpapering.

Puttying ceiling and wall structures

Puttying drywall joints

The sequence of actions for the repair of the ceiling:

First, a primer suitable for the given surface is applied. Do this carefully with a roller. After all the places where the composition has got, they are thoroughly cleaned.
The bucket is filled with water and the putty is poured out, mixed with a drill. With a narrow spatula, the solution is transferred to a wide one, then distributed over the area of \u200b\u200bthe ceiling. First layer - starting putty, and the second is the final one. The result of the repair as a whole depends on the quality of the application.
Ceiling sanding.

Stages finishing walls:

The walls are stripped of old finishes.
Cover with a primer and wait for it to dry. Cracks and irregularities are plastered. After the surface is treated sandpaper and re-rolled with a primer.
From the view decorative finishes depends on the number of layers of putty. The composition is distributed neatly, with smooth movements from left to right.
When the putty has dried, it is cleaned with sandpaper, then the dust is removed. The wall is primed again before the next layer of finishing putty. After its application, the actions of grinding and priming are repeated.
Start wallpapering or painting.

The number of types and brands of finishing mixtures is huge. At different stages of alignment, its different types are used - starting, finishing.

The rules for preparing the solution are indicated on the package, follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Having calculated the consumption, they take a bucket, pour it into it right amount water, add the contents of the bag and knead for several minutes with a construction mixer. Now you can get to work, remembering that the mixture thickens during the day and it is impossible to extend its elasticity, you will have to knead a new one.

Structure

Working with the brand Vetonit

Ready Vetonite is applied to the surface by spraying or manually. Spatulas with a blade width of 30 and 15 cm are recommended. If applied at an acute angle, the layer will be the desired thickness and uniform. To begin with, they take a small amount of the solution on a narrow spatula, then distribute it on the second one.

In the process of work, the finished mixture is constantly mixed with spatulas - this improves its consistency.

In contact with

Vetonit is trademark, which produces powdered building mixtures used for a wide range of finishing and construction works. Among the most popular products are wall and ceiling finish putty, floor leveling screeds, as well as tile adhesive. The products have gained mass distribution due to their excellent qualities and affordable price. The production of dry mixes in Russia is carried out by Weber-Vetonit, which is an industry division of the international industrial and construction group Saint-Gobain. The article will discuss the main features of dry mixes vetonite.

Briefly about the manufacturer

The Saint-Gobain company is one of the largest corporations in the world for the production of construction goods. It was founded in France in mid-seventeenth century, and today it has 1.5 thousand companies in more than 60 countries around the world. The head office is located in Paris.

Consumers who opt for Vetonite are guaranteed to get excellent results, but how can this be achieved?

Vetonite characteristics

Putty vetonit

Putty mixtures are used for the final leveling of surfaces, the quality of their application directly affects the overall impression and appearance finished renovated premises. Vetonit putties create a perfectly flat surface, and their main purpose is to seal gaps, layers and cracks after rough basic construction work.

Like all types of putty, Vetonit mixtures are divided into three subspecies: cement, polymer and gypsum. Basically, these are finishing putties intended for facing the ceiling and walls. The basis for their application can be a variety of materials - concrete, drywall, brick, gypsum and others, even a putty has been developed that is applied to painted surfaces.
Mixtures are universal and are used both indoors and outside the building. Although putties create a perfectly even and smooth surface, they still do not have special decorative qualities, therefore it is allowed to apply almost any decorating materials over the layer - wallpaper, relief plasters, tiles, acrylic or water-based paints etc. Putties themselves are not adhesives.

These are environmentally friendly products that are created only from safe components for humans and nature.
Due to the excellent water resistance, the mixtures are versatile and can be used even in areas such as swimming pools (the package should be labeled "waterproof mixture").
Powder mixtures have such a fine fraction that the applied layer acquires an ideal, almost mirror-like smoothness.
The applied layers of putty are not afraid of adverse weather conditions, including frost, rain or hail, which means that they can reliably serve even with facade finishing. long years. In addition, products have been developed that can be applied even when negative temperature(marking snowflake on the package).
The putty layer enhances the heat-insulating and sound-absorbing properties of the walls and ceiling.

Stages of work

The surface for applying the solution must be properly prepared. To do this, it is cleaned of dust and dirt, if necessary, the base is strengthened with a reinforcing mesh. If there are oil or grease stains, they should be removed as they will reduce adhesion. All large irregularities close up. Before applying the diluted mixture to the concrete base, it must be treated with a primer so that the concrete does not absorb moisture from the solution.

Knead the solution in clean water, room temperature (20-25 degrees). Be sure to follow the sequence in which the dry powder is added to the liquid, and not vice versa. To improve adhesion, 10% water can be replaced with a dispersion primer. Stir the solution with a construction mixer or drill until all lumps are dissolved. In the process of application, the finished mixture is stirred without additional addition of water or other liquid.

When finishing facades, it is important to protect the applied layer from rain, snow and direct sunlight for 24 hours. The resulting decorative surfaces can be painted after 72 hours; to reduce paint consumption, it is recommended to treat the relief layer with a silicone or silicate primer.

Self-leveling floors / leveler for the floor

Bulk floors are self-leveling mixtures used for floor screed. Products "Weber.vetonit" allows you to create a perfectly flat surface, with a layer thickness of 1 mm to 25 cm in one pass. The solution can be used for flooring in residential and office space, both in new buildings and in structures with long term operation.

Main competitive advantages

The resulting surface has an almost mirror-like appearance and does not require additional grinding or leveling.
It can be used as a base for all floor coverings, even for subsequent finishing with very thin materials.
Due to the high compressive strength, the finished coating is able to withstand heavy loads, in addition, internal reinforcement allows the use of mixtures even on deformable surfaces.

The mixture has the fastest set of strength, which allows you to walk on the poured layer in an hour, and to lay floor coverings in 2 hours.
It can be used even on difficult substrates, for example, over old wooden floors, ceramic tiles and other materials, thanks to the addition of special polymer components to the composition.
Forms a sound-proof, heat-resistant and moisture-resistant layer.

Technical specifications

The thickness of the applied layer. It is allowed to make a layer, the thickness of which varies from 1 mm to 25 cm.
Shrinkage. A month after application, the layer may shrink to 0.5 mm/m.
Strength factor. After 28 days, the self-leveling floor is able to withstand loads up to 30 MPa.
Adhesion coefficient. Grip with concrete base 1 MPa.
Shelf life. Bags with the mixture are stored unpacked in a dry place for 6-12 months from the date of production.

Stages of work

The mixture is used indoors. When pouring the floor, it is necessary to tightly close windows and doors and maintain a constant temperature within + 10- + 25 degrees for at least 7 days.
The base under the self-leveling floor must be cleaned of dust, and also make sure that it is dry and durable (if it is concrete, then it must stand for at least 2-3 months). If the top layer of the treated surface has peeling materials, they should be removed. The place of possible leakage of the mixture is sealed without fail.

It is best to prime the surface special composition, for example, dispersion "weber vetonite MD 16". If it is intended to apply more than 1 layer, then each of them must be treated accordingly. Dispersions and primers prevent the formation of air bubbles and provide better adhesion to the substrate.

To prepare a working solution, pour into a plastic or silicone container clean water, and then pour the dry ingredients and mix everything thoroughly with a construction mixer.
It is best to use the mixture immediately. It can be applied both manually and mechanically. It is optimal to fill in strips, the width of which varies between 30-50 cm. Start from the corner, the poured solution is distributed with a steel spatula and rolled with a spiked roller (to release the existing air).

It is not allowed to take breaks during pouring if too much is being processed. big square, then it should be broken down into small areas by setting limits.

In addition to dry building mixes, Weber factories produce acrylic, silicate and bituminous paints, primers and dispersions for pre-preparation of bases and subsequent application of self-leveling floors, putty or plaster, as well as all kinds of impregnations, antiseptics, substrates and injection materials (bituminous pastes, suspensions that improve the properties of screeds, mastics for insulation, and so on).

When entering a store, it is very easy to get confused among huge selection goods and products, but Vetonit products can be found immediately. These are yellow paper bags (less often white), on the left side of which there is a strip with the name of the product - 2/3 black (indicate the name of the manufacturer), and 1/3 red, orange, green and other shades (indicate the brand of the product) . By purchasing powdered building mixtures or ready-made solutions of vetonite, you can always be sure that the repair will be of high quality and durable.

To date, putty is the most popular way to finish walls and load-bearing structures. Before the main decoration, the surface is carefully processed, one of these stages is the application of putty. In fact, this is a standard leveling of the base with the help of special building mixtures. According to experts, Vetonit putty rightfully bears the title of the best solution for wall decoration. Compared with other analogues, it has a lot of advantages, distinctive specifications and performance properties.

Applying putty is a very time-consuming process, however, the use of high-quality products makes it possible to simplify the puttying of walls, and also contributes to faster drying of the coating (regardless of the number of layers).

Vetonit Weber is a famous collection consisting of individual putty modifications. The most popular is Vetonit lr putty. Due to its unique composition, it is used for finishing plastered, concrete walls and ceilings, as well as plasterboard partitions.

In most cases, Weber Vetonit putties are used for external wall decoration, as well as a base for painting or wallpapering (for example, Vetonit kr putty). There is also a facade putty designed to level the walls outside buildings (facades).

As noted above, this series presents different types putties, differing from each other in their composition and direct purpose. However, aggregates and binders (oil or otherwise) are an integral part of all putties in this series. That is, there are two complementary components, due to which an unpretentious material structure is obtained in use.

Most of the putty composition is occupied by filler (limestone), while polymer glue acts as a binder.

Solution preparation

To prepare the putty that is optimal in structure and consistency, dilute the dry mixture with water in accordance with the proportions indicated on the package. The result should be a homogeneous mass of medium density.

Before you dilute the putty mixture, you should know that water must be added to the solution in portions, while its temperature should be approximately equal to 20 degrees.

Here are some professional tips to follow:

After the finished putty is a little infused (within 10-15 minutes) and acquires a more uniform texture, it should be thoroughly mixed again with a construction mixer.
After mixing the solution until the putty is applied, no more than 24 hours should pass, otherwise the mixture will lose its properties and harden.
If there is still dry mix left in the package, it is recommended to store it in a cool (but dry) and dark place.

Putty application methods

Leveling the walls with putty is done in two ways:

mechanical spraying (using special equipment);
application putty mixture manually (using spatulas of different sizes).

The latter option is more often applicable for putty polymeric materials. It all depends on the personal preferences and tasks of the person performing construction works. The putty layer should not exceed 5 mm, otherwise there is a long and uneven drying of the coating.

When applying several layers of putty, each subsequent one is applied only after the final hardening of the previous one.

Types of putties and their description

Putty Vetonit is represented by several types. Each product is distinguished by its unique composition and purpose. Thus, the following groups of materials can be distinguished:

VH, V, TT - with such marks, mixtures are produced for sale, which are made on the basis of cement. The materials of this group are great for any type of premises, they can be used in the bathroom, kitchen and bathroom (where there is high humidity).
LR and KR - these markings indicate that putty mixtures are intended for finishing the alignment of walls and ceilings, a coating is obtained that is suitable for subsequent painting or wallpapering. Materials of this group must not be used in rooms with increased level humidity.

Vetonite VH

This type of product is best suited for use in high humidity conditions. Putty Vetonit vh, in addition to its main task of preparing the surface for subsequent painting, performs a protective function - it prevents the appearance of condensate on ceilings and load-bearing structures in rooms with high humidity.

Products are presented in two versions: in white and gray color. The white model of Vetonit vh putty is simply indispensable if the surface is planned to be painted. The second option is used as the primary layer before laying the tiles.

The main feature of this putty mixture is the ability to use on surfaces made of a variety of materials. According to the instructions, finishing putty can be used on plastered, concrete, stone (brick) walls and bases made of expanded clay, foam concrete, gas silicate blocks.

Vetonit LR and LR+

Finishing putty Vetonit is in high demand in the building materials market, it has a unique composition, low cost and is easy to use. The Weber Vetonit lr putty model is designed for finishing dry rooms, therefore, compared to other brand products, it has a more viscous and dense structure. After applying the Vetonit finishing putty, they begin to wallpaper the walls or paint with specialized highly pigmented paints.

It should be noted that this product is not suitable for leveling non-standard, three-dimensional planes, as well as large-sized objects. This is how most finishing compositions work, whose main task is to reduce the sharpness of the transitions between layers of plaster and paint and minimize surface irregularities. The white base putty is best suited for gypsum and chipboard surfaces.

Putty is available in different configurations, most often it can be found in powder version in 25 kg bags. You can also see the finished putty mixture, which does not need to be diluted with water.

There is also a product Vetonit LR+. This is a polymer putty from this collection. Due to its unique composition, it is ideal for finishing ceilings and walls in dry rooms. This is the starting and most popular model. Its distinguishing characteristics are low consumption, fast drying, ease of use and very affordable price. The diluted composition can be applied over smooth or rough surfaces (plasterboard and mineral materials).

On the Internet, you can find many positive reviews about the use of this product, with most buyers appreciating the low consumption of the material and its versatility. Puttying walls and ceilings with Vetonite allows you to prepare the surface for subsequent paint application.

Important! Putty Vetonit lr plus is usually applied by spraying on walls and ceilings made of plasterboard or chipboard. This starting mixture can also be used as an adhesive layer for the installation of GKL.

KR and TT products

Marking KR - means that the putty is finishing. Before its use, a starting solution of VH is first used. Putty Vetonit TT is a universal composition that can be used both as a starter and as a finish coat. In addition, this material is also suitable for finishing facades.

How much material is needed for finishing?

The main criterion when choosing a means for puttying surfaces in living conditions is the cost of production. As for Weber putty, all models of this series have different viscosities. Thus, the version of Weber Vetonit lr putty, as well as individual modifications of Vetonit kr putty, have different consumption.

Before buying a putty mixture, you need to calculate required amount material. To make it clearer, consider the consumption of Vetonit kr putty as an example. When finishing walls, about 1.2 kg of the finished solution is spent per 1 m2 of surface, while seven liters of water are enough to dilute the mixture (this figure may vary, depending on the structure of the material).
