That it has a number of advantages compared, for example, with a dirt floor or tank.

To this foundation last a long time, it is necessary to equip properly and with exact observance of the conventional construction techniques.

Pouring concrete floor takes place in several stages.

In addition, a concrete floor, filled with all the rules, will have several layers, each of which plays an important role in its overall design.

before a concrete floor in the garage, you need to thoroughly prepare.

First of all, you should prepare the necessary materials and tools, but other than that it is imperative to study the technology of work and patience.

For more information on how to make their own concrete floor in his garage is told in the video posted below.

Features concrete base

Any cause in the garage shouldmeet certain quality requirements.

First of all, it must be fireproof and have the ability to prevent moisture formation.

In addition, as in the garage will be kept car, its floor must be resistant to stress and aggressive chemicals.

Also, any owner of the machine wants to make the base of the garage maximum strength and durability.

In order to fulfill the foundation in the garage, you can use a variety of materials and techniques, but the highest quality and meet all the necessary requirements is considered concrete.

In the event that the garage is a sufficiently strong inclination, and in addition are very near the ground water, then pour a concrete floor, most likely, simply will not work.

Such a foundation in the winter season at a low temperature air can bring a lot of problems because of its low temperature.

Therefore waterproofing provided high-quality heating and space have to be made.

Preparation of materials and tools

as fast as possible to make a concrete base in the garage - it is a ready-laid concrete slab.In this case it is necessary to carry out the necessary work only on the ground.

It must be not only to equalize, but also to handle the special tools.

alignment should be thorough and rigorous, as such a plate is placed directly on the ground, and the slightest irregularity can subsequently lead to its displacement.

concrete slab

should be noted that in this case, the waterproofing will be minimal, which means that the room can not be qualitatively protect from moisture.

addition there are serious financial costs of delivery of such plates, as well as its installation.The best option would be self-pour concrete on the ground.

thus be able to perform the entire base of the device, since the thickness of each layer will be governed by the owner of the garage.

In addition, it will be possible to strengthen the floor as much as possible, align and pour concrete on the ground quality mark.

order to fill their own concrete floor in the garage, be sure to need gravel, sand and cement.

addition should be selected good waterproofing, fittings for reinforcement and insulation.

better to have on hand mixer, as to be quite a large amount of work associated with concrete.

solution proportions are selected independently, based on the requirements that must have coverage.

experts recommend - before starting work, to make for yourself and step by step instructions to paint the detail all the actions.

For more information about how to perform a self-pouring the floor in his garage, described in the video, which is available below.

Preparation of the base layer and rough

All work must begin with the preparation of the base.To do this, dig a pit the size of the relevant, remove it from all of the loose soil and create a dense bed of gravel and sand.

bottom of the pit should be the most tightly compacted and conduct a thorough alignment, and then fill it with liquid clay composition.

only then proceed to the formation of cushions, which at the bottom of the prepared hole is filled with gravel and sand.

Substrate Preparation

On top of cushions held another alignment, and only after this is done waterproofing.

The optimal material of the waterproofing base is a special plastic film may be performed.

She needs to cover the entire floor surface.Places joint pieces of foam is necessary to perform a lap and carefully glued together.

In addition, the film must capture and lower parts of the walls on the perimeter of the garage.Ultimately, should have similarity with plastic tubs.

Waterproofing in the garage

If waterproofing base is executed correctly, the concrete surface will not only durable, but also durable.

After you have completely finished the rough waterproofing layer, go to the floor reinforcement.For this

necessary to lay across the surface of the base metal grid and then perform a low formwork.

size and thickness of the formwork depends mainly on the final size of the floor in the garage.

and formwork, reinforcing mesh and firmly attached to the ground and the walls, and in addition checked using level flatness.

Warming and filling

Before you put on top of the base heater, you should perform rough casting floor in the garage.

To this is mixed in the required proportions, and concrete is placed in each well of a metal mesh.

rough alignment layer is done by the rules.

After this little screed grips, remove the wooden slats and the void tight score with cement mortar.

Cover the concrete must be the entire floor area, thus it is necessary to control not only his evenness, but also the lack of voids in the solution.

To do this periodically pierce the fresh mortar ordinary piece of rebar.Drying under rough film layer must be within a few weeks.

It is recommended to regularly watered it with water to prevent cracking and flaking.

Despite the fact that many motorists do not involve device warming ties, though experts recommend to do this work step.

This will help during the winter to protect from the cold and moisture is not only the concrete foundation, but also the entire space of the garage.

For these purposes today, in the store, you can find a variety of different materials for different value.

floor Warming

is best as a material for use styrofoam insulation.Before you put this material on the substrate, it is necessary to cover the roll penofolom.

This material is laid on the draft floor foil shiny side up, and then go to tightly polystyrene blocks and firmly bonded to each other by means of special anchors.

final milestone

The final stage of work on the implementation of the concrete floor in the garage is a device coupler.For this purpose, the floor insulation over once stacked metal mesh, after which the beacons are exposed.

Thus, the floor of the garage will be completely ready for the final pouring concrete.Further, based on the calculated proportion preparing cement slurry.

Sex in the garage are beginning to pour from the opposite wall from the gate.The thickness of the final screed must be at least thirty centimeters.

distributing the solution on the floor surface, just spend leveling on beacons.To the floor of the garage to get the most durable, yet fresh concrete reinforcement periodically pierced.

is recommended to fill the entire floor in one approach.

Once in the garage floor will be completely filled with concrete solution and aligned, it is covered with foil and left to dry and gain strength for a few weeks.

Many experts recommend to carry out a concrete floor in his garage with a slight slope.This will allow water that may form after washing machine, not accumulate indoor garage.

also concrete floor should be covered with special paint.This helps to prevent cement dust during the operation of the garage.
