Bayramiks plaster is a decorative composite marble coating based on acrylic copolymers and water emulsion, as well as granite and marble chips. The material can be used during the finishing of the external finish, as well as internal work.
It is universality that makes this plaster so popular among consumers. It is chosen by customers for a variety of reasons, among them a high degree of resistance to abrasion should be highlighted, therefore, after drying, the surface can be subjected to wet cleaning.
Why choose Bayramix
The decorative coating, after drying, is perfectly washable, which means it is ideal for finishing small architectural forms and facades. Among the first, fences and parapets can be distinguished. Quite often, this mixture is used as a decorative material for the interior decoration of rooms. It can be public buildings, namely:
- halls;
- restaurants
- corridors;
- halls;
- toilets;
- the kitchen.
The main advantage of the composition is the possibility of applying it to almost any surface, such as:
- drywall;
- reinforced concrete panels;
- walls made of light or cellular concrete;
- panels of fiberboard, plywood, chipboard and wood;
- walls with well-preserved enamel, water-based paint or acrylic composition.
Positive reviews
Bayramix plaster has many positive features, among which consumers distinguish:
- durability;
- variety of colors and textures;
- environmental cleanliness;
- resistance to treatment with chloramine solution.
Additional benefits include excellent mechanical strength. It is also important to note a fairly high level of manufacturability, which is expressed in good adhesion, as well as in low losses during application. Bayramix plaster is quite resistant to the effects of high humidity, alkalis, ultraviolet radiation and temperature fluctuations.
According to consumers, the composition is quite easy to apply, and there is no need to carry out tedious preparatory work. Due to the fact that the mixture, after drying, is resistant to treatment with a 10% solution of chloramine, this plaster can be used for wall decoration in medical institutions.
Specifications
Bayramiks plaster is lightfast to ultra-violet, and also fireproof. Polymerization time can last up to 24 hours. This period is sometimes stretched to 48 hours. Durability is estimated by the manufacturer as 25 years. Adhesion to concrete surface is 15 MPa.
Use temperature ranges from -50 to +80 ° C. Bayramiks plaster, the consumption of which is 3 kg / m 2 , does not contain harmful substances. It is resistant to detergents, and the size of the chips can vary from 700 to 1400 microns. In addition to the technical characteristics, you may also be interested in the fact that the application should be carried out using a spatula and a steel grater.
Surface preparation
Like any other finishing material, the described plaster requires the application on a prepared base. It should be dry, clean, smooth and without pronounced defects, among them cracks and chips should be distinguished. The solution should be applied evenly, so it is important to ensure that the base is uniform in composition.
Decorative Bayramiks plaster, photos of which are presented in the article, can be applied on a metal base. Before this, it must be cleaned of corrosion, if any, and coated with an alkyd or epoxy compound. In the process of preparing a surface on which there is an old paint of unknown chemical composition, putty material with drying oil should be used. In order to subsequently exclude the emergence of colored spots, the surface is treated with a solution of copper sulfate, as well as an alkyd composition, it can be PF-115. This mixture will serve as an isolate.
Features of preparation
“Bayramiks” - plaster, the reviews of which you could read above, should be applied to a pre-primed surface. After the layer has dried, start plastering. The primer will give uniformity to the surface and reduce the risk of stains on the plastered wall.
It is important to consider some limitations before starting work. For example, the surface moisture level should not be higher than 10%. The minimum temperature should be +5 ° C, while the maximum should not exceed +30 ° C. Puttying should not begin in wet, rainy weather.
Preparation of tools and materials
Mineral Bayramiks plaster can be applied after preparing a set of tools and materials, among them:
- stainless construction grater;
- metal trowel;
- hammer drill;
- masking tape;
- capacity;
- flat paint brush;
- ladder;
- extension cord;
- cotton protective gloves.
When preparing a paint brush, you should prefer one that has a long handle. The hammer can be replaced with an electric drill, which is complemented by a mixer nozzle. You should also take care of the presence of spotlights with a tripod. In addition, you must have a plastic film in stock. To prepare the solution, you should stock up with a large capacity, its volume should be equal to about 25 liters.
Solution preparation
Before you apply Bayramix decorative plaster, you need to prepare the composition. The contents of the packaging with the mixture should be placed in containers adding about 1.5 liters of water. The mixture mixes well. For this purpose, it is best to use a drill with a nozzle. After setting the tool at low speeds, the solution must be mixed for 15 minutes or more. The resulting mixture should be stored in a closed container.
Technology of work
If you chose “Bayramiks” decorative plaster as a finish, then it should be applied to a previously prepared surface. All work that is accompanied by the formation of dust must be completed. In order to achieve a good result, work must be carried out in sufficient light. In order to exclude accidents, the rules for handling electrical appliances must be observed. They must be unplugged from outlets. Only after the plaster has dried, can the appliances be turned on.
Plaster is applied with a metal construction grater. The master should make translational movements, directing the tool from the bottom up. The composition in the right amount is applied to the surface of the grater with a construction trowel. The application of the mixture on the surface should be carried out in an even layer, its thickness should not be impressive and depends on the fraction of the mixture. The decorative Bayramiks plaster, as practice shows, is consumed in the amount of 3.5-4 kg / m 2 . This applies to large fractions. If we are talking about a composition with an average fraction of the elements, then the consumption will be reduced to 1.8-2 kg / m 2 .
Grouting, or rather, adjustment, should be carried out no earlier than half an hour after applying the base layer. “Bayramiks” - plaster, photos of which are presented in the article, should be applied at a certain temperature. +5 ° C will be sufficient for the polymerization of the layer. Under such conditions, the drying time will last from 24 hours to 48 hours.
Wizard Recommendations
Sometimes after applying plaster, color spots appear on the surface. The main reason for this phenomenon is non-compliance with the uniform thickness of the layer. Stains can be removed by re-applying another layer of material. The second layer is applied after the base coat has dried.
After applying Bayramix plaster, you may notice that yellow spots appeared on the wall. This indicates the effect of the base components on the material at the polymerization stage. In order to avoid this phenomenon, it is necessary to conduct more thorough surface preparation. If the application is planned to be carried out on the facade of a building, then it is rational to check the reliability of storm and engineering drainage systems. In order to make the surface perfect, it is necessary to apply one layer of plaster on it.
How to avoid mistakes
The technology of applying Bayramix plaster is not too complicated, one of the most critical stages of work is surface preparation. The final result will depend on how correctly these works were carried out. Application is carried out on a flat surface, which does not have too visible defects. After the walls are leveled, they can be covered with a primer, for this it is recommended to use the ASTAR mixture. However, the composition is pre-painted in the same color as Bayramix.
The described plaster is a finished material for decoration, which does not require preparation. The only thing you have to do is to dilute Bayramiks in a certain volume of water to make application more convenient. The volume of liquid will depend on the fluidity of the plaster, but usually it does not exceed 1 liter per 20 kg of the finished mixture.
Plaster leveling is carried out with a metal spatula. Application should be accompanied by checking the evenness of the layer thickness, it should not be more than 1.5 crumbs. As soon as the plaster is applied to the wall, it should be left for half an hour to dry. Drying time can vary up or down and depends not only on temperature, but also on air humidity.
As soon as the layer dries, you can begin to re-smooth the surface. This should be done with an exceptionally clean tool, so as not to damage the applied plaster. After the surface has completely dried, it should be covered with a protective layer of varnish. For this, BS-18 is excellent, with a total drying time of 12 hours.
Conclusion
The Bayramiks plaster is made using a binder, which is not cement or gypsum, but a polymer binder. This acrylic is a fairly strong synthetic resin. It is environmentally friendly, and you can use the mixture with its addition for external and internal work.
Marble plaster is filled with chips of various shapes, sizes and colors. Having familiarized yourself with the assortment of described stucco mixtures, you can understand that the company produces a line of marble plasters, among them you can find compositions with spherical granules of marble, as well as mixtures based on materials that mimic the color and texture of sandstone.
Marble plaster can be used in almost any environment, it should include surfaces that are constantly subjected to intensive abrasion during operation. They can be washed and wiped with a solution of bleach. If we compare these plasters with gypsum compositions, then the first are more durable and reliable.
