How to pour the floor in the garage

Increased requirements are presented in the garage floors, because they experience a large weight load from the car standing on them. Often in the garage there is a repair of the machine, so that lubricants, gasoline, solvents for paints can fall on the floor. Based on severe operating conditions, the floor in the garage is best done concrete.

1
Under the concrete floor, a sand-gravel pillow is made, which will continue to provide horizontally-smooth, without cracks, the surface of the main floor. If concrete is pouring immediately to the ground, then over time it will begin to see and crack. It is to prevent these problems and poured, and then a pillow is talked well. Its thickness must be 15-20 cm.

2
If the garage is in the place where there is the likelihood of raising groundwater, the waterproofing is stacked on gravel. It may be a thick rubberoid, a two-layer polyethylene film or a special building material - hydrokhotloxole.

3
It is always nice to sit in a warm car, but it is not always possible to spend heating in the garage. There is a yield - so that the insulation is laid on the water insulation, for example, extruded polystyrene foam, for waterproofing in the winter period.

4
Without waterproofing and insulation, in principle, you can do it (if the groundwater is far or on insulation decided to save). But without prior reinforcement of concrete floor, the fill is not recommended. Reinforcement is made to enhance the concrete structure and to prevent its cracking. For the reinforcement of the floor in the garage, both metal fittings can be applied and composite.

5
A draft floor is poured into the associated reinforcement grid. It is done with a thickness of at least 15 cm, and concrete is prepared in such proportions (cement / sand):

  • Cement M400 / Sand - 1/3;
  • Cement M500 / Sand - 1/4;
  • Cement M600 / Sand - 1/5.

Under the fill concrete, horizontal beacons are defined so that the floor is perfectly smooth. It is necessarily for some gender bias towards the gate or to the waste grille (if stock) is provided in the garage). A bias in 2% (2 cm for one meter of the surface) is necessary that water leaves the garage if it suddenly falls into it - it can pour the rain or the car becomes snow.

6
After the complete drying of the concrete, it will take 2-3 weeks, the floor can be finally aligned. This is done in the same composition with a solution, but more liquid. The pure screed is placed with a thickness of 2-3 cm. Before its fill, a draft base of vacuuming and is grounded by any construction primer for external work.

7
And blacks and finishing ties are stretched by a special long rule. After the finishing will freeze to the state that it can be moved to it, it must be seized. For this apply wooden or foam grades. They are well grinding the screed along the walls, and the rest of the surface is to be treated with an electrical grinding machine.

If it is planned to put a simple "Lada Kalina" in the garage, but a luxurious "Lexus", then epoxy can be poured on the draft self-leveling floors. They not only look beautiful, but differ in durability and durability.
