TRAINING

Material can be applied both on old (already covered floors) and on new.

New floors should be prepared in accordance with the building code. The system of warm floors is allowed. Leveling screed required! Before starting to decorate, the screed should dry out completely, according to the manufacturer's technical recommendations.

After the preparatory work, the surface must be primed with a special impregnation of deep penetration - PRIMER NORMAL. Primer better in 2 layers. Interlaminar drying time: 2-4 hours; Full drying time: 24 hours.

DECOR

The Venetian floor system consists of two integral components:

MARMORINO FLOOR is a dry mixture of medium grain (MEDIUM) and fine grain (FINE). Supplied in buckets of 20 kg.

AQA is a special liquid mixture - thinner. Supplied in canisters of 9 liters.

Before applying the decorative plaster MARMORINO FLOOR MEDIUM, the surface must be covered with a special construction mesh (cell 5x5 mm). This will prevent the formation of microcracks in the future. The first layer should be applied in a white base color, covering the entire surface, so that the construction grid is not visible. It should be applied with the classic Venetian technique, leaving light tides that imitate marble veins. Drying time after application: 12-24 hours. If after applying the first layer, the grid could not be covered, then a second layer can be applied.

The second and third layers are applied with fine grain material - MARMORINO FLOOR FINE. Prepare the mixture and add in it a colorant of the chosen color and mix thoroughly until a mass of uniform color is obtained. After mixing it is necessary to immediately apply the material. It should be applied with the same technique as a classic Venetian - in a thin layer, covering the surface, leaving no nodules or scratches. Interlaminar drying time 4-6 hours. Full drying 24-48 hours.

After the decor is completely dry, the surface should be sanded using sandpaper such as K380, in a circular motion or using a special grinding machine (on large areas). This procedure will give the surface a perfectly smooth and polished appearance, as well as show a texture depth resembling natural marble. After sanding, remove any dust from the surface.

PROTECTION

The last stage is a protective varnish coating. Here you should know that several protective coatings are provided for this coating, namely:

FLOOR POLYURETHANE VARNISH is a water-based polyurethane clear varnish, odorless and toxic volatile substances. The varnish is diluted with water and applied with a special velor roller for varnishes. There are 2 types: matte (MATT) and semi-gloss (60%) - SATINE. Varnish is the main protective material for the floors of the series MARMORINO FLOOR. It is applied with a roller strictly in 2 layers !!! Interlaminar drying time 8-12 hours. Full drying time 24-48 hours.

FLOOR SEMIGLOSSY WAX - a protective semi-gloss varnish on a wax basis. It has high water-repellent properties, therefore it is intended as an ADDITIONAL protective coating when using decor in areas of direct interaction with water (showers, basins, for finishing sinks and countertops in bathrooms and kitchens). Apply varnish with a roller in 1-2 layers. Interlaminar drying time: 4 hours. Drying time 24 hours.

Time of full drying of a decorative covering: 7 days. During this period, the varnish will undergo a full crystallization cycle and compact the surface to maximum strength.

For more detailed advice or a master class on application, we recommend contacting our technical experts or using the services of our stores.

Please note that floors or walls decorated with MARMORINO FLOOR must last at least 24 days, prior to their primary cleaning. Since during this period, the material undergoes a full cycle of the carbonization process, as a result of which it gains maximum strength.

The material is two-component, comes in a dry form and is diluted only with a special liquid compound AQA. As a waterproofing base is used only a special primer-primer Normal.
