How to equip the floors in the garage made of concrete

When you create floors in the garage, you can use a variety of technologies. For example, sometimes used as a basis the finished concrete slab. But, if the garage was built directly on the ground, it is necessary to pour the floors themselves. This procedure requires a major effort and a long time. The owner still cope by following the recommended technology.

1. How to prepare for pouring floors

First, the owner must establish the conditions under which it is possible to reduce the risk of flooding by groundwater. For this purpose, prepared trench. At his expense as possible to avoid raising the floor level is too high. The depth of the excavation should be about 25 cm. Primer then be sealed, and as soon as possible to ensure waterproofing layer. For example, using a conventional so-called clay or water glass, which shrouded bottom of the pit and its wall.

2. How to prepare the fill under the floor podsypku

Now the owner is required to provide podsypku of gravel and sand. Start with gravel. Is filled with a layer whose thickness is up to 15 cm. Gravel itself is different, so you need to start to choose the best option. Practice shows that it is better to use the gravel of the middle fraction.

On top of the layer of gravel sand is deposited. River sand is used to completely fill gravel, and then provide an even and small cushion layer over it. As a result, the sand should rise somewhere at 5 cm above the previously laid layer of gravel. Also all podsypku well rammed and compacted.

3. How to put the waterproofing

Now we need another waterproofing. It is already possible to perform, using the plastic wrap. Although it is not fit every option - it is necessary to use a large film thickness and density. In addition to the films, suitable mastic asphalt, roofing material and any other common waterproofing. The main task - to prevent the formation of a gap between adjacent pieces.

4. How to pour the concrete floor

After completing the preparations, you can start laying the concrete floor. Only you must first be placed on a reinforced mesh bedding. Next, the concrete is poured, the thickness of the interlayer is at least 5 cm. It is better to make it more solid. For complete drying of concrete will be needed for at least 3 weeks. Only after this operation proceed to the garage. Properly filled floor will be no worse than the real concrete slab.
