The most terrible dream dresser, tiler or rather - it is uneven strainer on the floor. It is this problem greatly complicates the lining and contributes to a rather large glue consumption. The benefit of these days there was quite easy to use the material - Self-leveling floor filler. Special skills for its manufacture have no need to - we need only follow the instructions. But to calculate the necessary amount of material is already complicated. Today we offer you a handy calculator for calculating the dry mortar for self-leveling floor, which will help without the mess and most accurately determine the number of bags.

Calculator for dry mortar for self-leveling floor
What you need to know to work with a calculator
Working with the program, you can go two ways. The first and most simple - it is if the total area the floor is already calculated, and the second - when these calculations to be done. Let us step by step, what is the sequence of actions in each case.
Variant № 1 - area known
In this case, the first field of the online calculator should be noted the "calculation to produce a pre-calculated Living area». Thereafter below using the "slider" to set room area. Now exposed planned thickness screed (In a place where it will be minimum) and maximum differential subfloor. Of course it may not be, but often if strainer was done by non-professionals, it can make even the 5-10 cm.
Surely, before work handyman determine what firm the mixture will be used. So he knows and expenditure declared by the manufacturer (it is written on the packaging). It is necessary to enter the next field. Well, after will enter the weight of the bag and click on "calculate the amount of dry mix." Everything is quite simple. Result will be listed based on the five percent stock.
Variant № 2 - calculating the size
In this case, in the first box set the mark on the field "to make the calculation on linear parameters of a rectangular room." In this case, there are several additional fields below to be filled. It:
- The length and width of the room;
- The presence or absence of recesses which increase a room (e.g. tambour);
- The length and width of the recess if it (they) is;
- The presence or absence of pillars and peaks and their sizes.
Further fields filling occurs identically to the first embodiment.
Tolerances and tips
Own any tolerances do not need to program already incorporated the addition of 5% of the material. The most important thing when working with the program - precise measurements and making it the correct parameters. That it will not make a mistake when buying a quantity of the mixture. Lack or excess - it is always unpleasant. So better to follow the advice and carry out all actions as necessary. A reward will be the perfect even across the floor surface.
