To make reliable, durable floor, prefer concrete. Previously, concrete floors were equipped exclusively in the production, where they occur large loads, or in utility rooms, such as garages, basements. But with the arrival of new technologies, namely floating floors, they began to arrange in homes, because the smooth and dry concrete surface is a good qualitative base for any type of floor covering.

Construction material Concrete is relatively cheap and affordable. Working with it is simple, does not require special training, so many owners prefer to do such floors when erecting the house or repair of the apartment. Before filling the floor, you need to prepare a tool that will be used in the process and learn technology.
Poured concrete floor in several stages:
Production of floor base;
Waterproofing and thermal insulation of future concrete floors;
Floor formwork and reinforcement;
Preparation of concrete solution and fill;
Screed or alignment of concrete coating.

When you take the floor in the apartment, remove the old coating and remove the former screed to the base. It will be necessary to work a perforator, as the thickness of the screed is about five centimeters. Next, it is necessary to remove everything and carefully sounded dust.

In the house, preparatory work is a bit more complicated. Using the level, set zero and transfer the label on the wall around the perimeter. Then we carry out the recess of the soil of centimeters by 25-30, then the surface is aligned and the tamper is rambling, most often homemade. Then a five-centimeter sinking from gravel and ten-centimeter of sand should be made. Each layer will thoroughly tram. After the sand, put a crushed stone, 10 cm thick. It is recommended to use a medium-fractional. This layer needs to be highly tumped and preventing the sharp edges of the rubble. On top of it, there is a slight powder sand.

Next is the waterproofing. As it can be used polyethylene film or rubberoid. Hydroizol must be disseminated throughout the room area. The joints are put on the bracket and are sampled, and the edges are output for the zero mark. Turning thermal insulation on top of the hydroizol. One of the very good materials is a clay. From it makes a hatching and smash it.
5
Floor reinforcement is made if there is a significant load. An iron or plastic lattice is used as fittings. The grille is placed on small stands so that when the fill occurs, the armature together with it represents a single monolith.
6
To make more convenient to make fill in large rooms, put a formwork. To do this, you can apply a sledge or board. For the guide, you can take a pipe or a bar. The formwork is set on the zero mark and is divided into squares in size so that it is convenient to fill in one or twice.
7
The strength and durability of the floor depends on the amount of fillings. The best is to make it in one right. If you have such an opportunity, then order a ready-made concrete at the factory, if not - it will have to be prepared for himself. You will need to prepare sand, cement, water and crushed stone, also need a concrete mixer. In the agitator, fall asleep harvested materials based on the calculation: cement bucket, two sand buckets, water bucket and four buckets of rubbank. Mix the solution thoroughly and fill in the square. Next, the shovel crumple the concrete solution inside the square and compliment it.
8
When fill out several squares, the surface is aligned with the rule. It falls on the guides of the bar and stretches on themselves. Excess concrete fills emptiness - and a smooth surface is obtained. In the flooded places you need to remove the formwork, pour and align emptiness, then pour the floor on. Freshlylated floor should stand three days, it regularly uroat with water so that it does not crack. Then you need to close it with the film until complete readiness.
9
When the floor is completely grabbed, you need to apply a screed. We prepare a solution of liquid cement and apply to the floor. It is recommended to do this from the far wall towards the door. The screed should stand three days, it costs to wet it every day, and after it can be stacked.
As you can see to make a high-quality concrete floor, you need to spend a lot of time and strength, but if you are all done correctly, the surface will last for many years.
