Concrete floor in the garage. Process description

When we plan to make the floor in the garage, we are wondering which of the many known options for their arrangement we choose. In order to determine the option, we have to weigh all the pros and cons with respect to each type of coverage. Often, many choose their choice of what is done in the garage floor of concrete. More details about this - in this article.

In order to perform a concrete floor in the garage, you must first thoroughly prepare the base. This process needs to be given special attention. There are two types of base - this is an old coating and a primer. Each type has a unique approach.

• To equip the concrete floor in the garage on the old cover, you need to prepare it properly. Fix all cracks, if any, with a mixture of sand and cement. Sites that are not subject to repair, you need to completely dismantle, then pour it all over again. Differences in height should be removed with a special milling machine, and only then proceed to pour the floor.
• When the foundation is carried out on the ground, before starting the pouring, it is necessary to carefully compact the soil so that there is not even the slightest drawdown then. After that, you need to make a sand pillow and also it is well tampered with. The thickness of the pillow itself depends on many factors: the level of vadose, the degree of freezing, and what is the basis.

Also, one should not forget about the protection of the concrete floor from moisture, for this you need to use all possible waterproofing materials on bitumen base, a membrane of polymer or ordinary polyethylene film.

When arranging the floors of concrete on a large area, formwork is used, and it can also be used as a guide, but then it must coincide with the relief of all deformation seams.

Pouring of concrete floor In the garage is impossible without laying the fixtures. For this purpose, a special wire with a diameter of 5 mm is used, and the size of the cells of the reinforcement is 150 * 150 mm. If the coating is subjected to a very high mechanical load, the thickness of the concrete floor in the garage should be greater. Then it is necessary to create a reinforcing cage of reinforcement with a wire diameter of 0.8-1.6 cm, or from a reinforcing mesh. This is an important point. Concrete floor in the garage begins to be flooded only after all the preparatory Works: ramming the soil, laying waterproofing, preparing the formwork and mounting the reinforcing cage. The filling can be done either manually or with an auto concrete mixer. If he can drive up to the place of execution of the pouring works, then the concrete is unloaded directly from it to the prepared base. If you can not drive up, or the pouring is carried out at some elevation, then in this case it is necessary to use a concrete pump. After the filling is completed, it is necessary to treat the concrete floor in the garage with a device such as a screed. To do this, set the guides to the zero mark and level the concrete mixture along the guides.

After the execution of concreting, we wait for complete drying, and the floor is ready.
