Planning a renovation, finishing a new apartment or house involves not only the proper selection of materials to give the interior character, which will be visible at first glance. Of course, what kind of paint or wallpaper we use is of great importance. But other details are no less important, including the preparation of the substrate and the speed with which we will be able to complete the work. To properly present the wallpaper or expose the paint color, the substrate should be even and smooth. For this, a smoothness is essential. But which one to choose, so that the work can be completed in a short time and with the highest quality?
Polymer smoothing to the apartment
Currently on the market of ready-made smooths, polymeric ones are the most popular. And for good reason. First of all, they have better adhesion to the substrate, and exhibit much greater flexibility. The question is, which polymeric smoothing agent to choose?
A recommendable product is certainly ATLAS GTA, which is a mass based on resin binders, mineral fillers and modifying additives. It is resistant to damage, and above all it is very well applied. It can be used for smoothing walls and ceilings indoors, filling the entire surface of gypsum-cardboard panels and grouting them (with the use of a reinforcing tape). Thanks to the use of wet smoothing, GTA smoothing can be used in rooms where we live at the same time, because it does not generate dust.
ATLAS GTA - smoothing easy to apply
What makes the Atlas product enjoy such good reviews from those who use it? There are at least several reasons. Appreciated is the optimal consistency of the smooth, which allows it to be easily applied with an aggregate, trowel or roller. Speaking of roller - no other smoothing agent is worked with this tool so quickly and easily. Even an untrained hand can cope with it. Above all, GTA mass adheres well to the tool, does not splash, does not fall off and can be spread in an even layer. Applying the smoothing compound with a roller with a layer of 1 mm will certainly avoid execution errors and improve possible correction. The work will be facilitated by the specially designed packaging of the product. It is about an oval bucket. It is straight from it that the smooth can be applied to the surface with a roller, which significantly facilitates and speeds up the whole process. As a whole, GTA smooth can be applied in layers up to 3 mm thick.
Application of successive layers of smooth - "wet on dry" and "wet on wet".
Theapplication of successive layers of smoothing can be carried out using two methods - "wet on dry" and "wet on wet". Especially the second one is very popular. The reason? It reduces working time and minimizes the risk of blistering. Once completely dry, you can proceed to the actual smoothing of the surface - either manually or mechanically. If you opt for traditional dry sanding, the amount of dust generated is minimal. Why? The properties of GTA make it heavy and fall quickly. "Wet" sanding is also not problematic. - is most recommended in inhabited spaces. We will not have to carry all the stuff out of such a place and avoid clouds of annoying dust, because with this method it is practically not created. In addition, GTA smooth is so white that it can be covered with any paint without any problems.
Smoothing over concrete, plaster and plasterboard
ATLAS GTA can be applied to concrete surfaces, cement plaster, cement-lime plaster and gypsum plasterboard. The plaster can be used in residential, commercial and service construction, as well as public, educational, office and healthcare facilities.
