Concreting
Industrial floor
The surface on which tractor equipment, production equipment and raw materials are most often placed. More suitable for premises such as hangars, warehouses, parking lots, factories and car services.
ESTRICH technology floors
An economical solution for living rooms, renovating, garages, rooms where it is not planned to place heavy machinery or equipment. Visually, the ESTRICH floor will be the same as the industrial floor.
Reinforced concrete traces
Reinforced concrete blocks for foundation foot construction.
Ribbon basics
Reinforced concrete structures, which are placed around the entire perimeter of the house under all load-bearing walls. We offer both monolithic and folding tape foundations.
Concreting on your own
Concreting may seem like a simple process, but it is important to prepare well for the job and follow different nuances.
Prepare thoroughly before concreting
Preparatory work is the most important stage of concreting work. It must be acknowledged that the quality of the floor will depend on the quality of the preparation of the floor base. It is important to calculate the required floor load (how heavy the machinery / equipment will be placed on it). On average, the floor needs a 15 cm thick layer of rubble, followed by a 5 cm thick layer of sand, which is important to compact carefully! A layer of thermal insulation and waterproofing must be placed above it, as well as reinforcement mesh. If the space is large, it is necessary to create deformation joints.
Prepare a quality mixture
It is very important to prepare the correct consistency of the concrete. If you have no previous experience in concreting, we recommend ordering a ready-mix from a concrete manufacturer.
Get ready for the weather
When concreting outdoors, it is very important to ensure that the concreted area is not exposed to rain, snow or moisture. Modern technologies allow concreting both in cold weather (by adding anti-freeze additives to the concrete mix) and in hot weather, but excessively cold or hot weather can interfere with the drying of concrete. The most suitable air temperature is in the range of 10-20 degrees.
Carefully level the floor
After laying the concrete, the floor will be uneven. First you need to measure the surface with a laser level, then level the surface using a dedicated device. If not available, the floor can be leveled with plastic guides. It is also possible to use plasterboard profiles. If you want to see the floor shiny and very smooth, it can be sanded. You will find equipment for floor grinding (helicopters) at the most popular construction equipment rental points.
Wait
The concrete floor reaches its maximum rigidity only after 30 days. You can walk on it, but it is advisable not to place heavy machinery or equipment.
