Familiarity with how to execute the Mineral View
In architecture and building construction, what is most visible to the public, both for the residents of the building and for those who only see it from the outside, is the facade of a building, so facade construction in this field is of great importance. Therefore, in order to have a good view, we need to know how to do it and pay attention to a series of points in doing it.
Mineral view
Mineral facade is actually a decorative coating that is used not only on the exterior of the building, but also on the interior.
Today, this method of facade construction is used as a practical and popular method in building construction due to its special advantages over other building facades, which also has its own fans, and also with the advancement of technology, it can replace It is suitable for traditional materials such as stone, brick, paint, etc., which is very affordable.
This method can be applied on any smooth surface and there is no limit to the implementation of the mineral view.
Methods of performing mineral views in a project
In general, two methods are used to implement the mineral view:
Mineral spraying: In this method, a gun is used to apply mineral on the desired surface. This method is suitable for uneven surfaces in addition to smooth surfaces. The working method here is that the mineral material is poured into the gun tank and the material is applied to the desired surface by applying pressure. The speed of doing work in this method is very high.
Troweled mineral: the way to implement the mineral look in this method is that first, we take the prepared mineral materials out of the packaging and pour them into a suitable container and mix them thoroughly to create a uniform material, and after preparing from above We put a layer on the work at the lowest point on the desired surface. In this method, unlike the spraying method, the work can only be done on smooth surfaces. The advantage of this method is that it is simple and does not require special equipment, but it takes a long time to dry
The method will be more than the spraying method.
Mineral execution method
1- by steel trowel (mineral trowel) 2- By means of a gun (mineral spray).
Mineral implementation general condition
1- The surface to be executed must be completely level and uniform
2- The surface to be applied must be dry and free of damp and moisture, as well as dust and grease
3- The surface to be applied should be covered with a suitable primer (primer).
4- It is recommended to apply the mineral during the day and away from direct sunlight and at a temperature of +5.
Method
1- Transfer the mineral on your level (from plastic to bucket).
2- Add 1 to 1.5 liters of drinking water for each 25 kg container
3- Mix the ingredients well so that it becomes completely uniform and workable
4- From the highest point of the building to the bottom by means of a stainless steel trowel, spread a thin layer of 3 to 4 mm thickness to the work surface uniformly and smoothly. used a waterproof layer.
Benefits
1- The mineral surface is very smooth and similar to natural stones
2- In the mineral application method with a trowel, the life of the mineral is much longer than the spraying method
The final drying time is 1 to 2 days depending on weather conditions.
Mineral spraying method
Using a mineral gun, we spray the micro type (fine grain) on the facade surface. This type of implementation is usually used on uneven surfaces where it is not possible to work with a trowel, such as columns and crowns of buildings, sharp corners, tools around doors and windows, and corners. Up to 40 cm and with a nozzle diameter of 5% and a pressure of 5 to 10 atmospheres in the direction of the horizontal axis with the work surface.
Note: In the method of applying mineral spray, the work surface is rougher than the method of applying mineral trowel, the final drying time is 24 hours.
Mineral warehousing conditions
- The product should be in the bucket with the lid completely closed. - Store in a dry place away from sunlight and frost - The suitable storage temperature should be +5 to +35 degrees
