Concrete screed floor in an apartment - do to the mind, without resorting to masters

Installing concrete screed floor apartment in an important stage of construction works. In this article we describe in detail how to qualitatively carry out similar work in order not to spend on them a lot of time and money. The key to success in the construction business - good materials and competent guide.

Alignment of lighthouses - step by step guide

To the floor quality is not in doubt, and the installation process was swift as possible, it is necessary to hold the balance of lighthouses. Their nomination is held vialaser levelWhich is more modern and high-analogue as compared to aqueous tool. And so, how do you set the beacons using a laser level?

Step 1. Having first long iron armature 30-35 cm. When confidence in the strength of small base, the length should be increased. Fitting hammer into the ground so that they are positioned firmly on it.

Step 2. Set the center of the room rate.

Step 3. The first level of iron rods hammer at a distance 25 cm. from the wall. They need to dive into the ground to the beam level.

Step 4. Drive in the rest of the fixture in the same way - at a distance 55-65 cm. apart. Care should be taken so that the metal structure does not bend under the weight of its own weight and the load rules.

Experienced builders are not advised: use an overly long rule, as they equate coverage is much more problematic - alignment process is delayed.

Step 5. Attach long pieces of rods inserted into the ground to the tendons and fasten them by electric welding. This process does not require a lot of precision, as the top layer will make sure the floor covering.

Step 6. Conduct monitoring of the situation of the iron elements, as required, change the position in space.

Production of concrete mix

Can be prepared manually or mechanically. For the manual method will need smooth surfaces, containers and equipment for mixing. Minimum volume of the container 2.5 to 2.5 meters.

1. In the center of the container, pour the sand, cement and gravel in the ratio 1 to 2 to 4, In such proportions to obtain a solution desired consistency.
2. Mix all the ingredients of the mixture.
3. Make a small mound in the center of the mixture inside it do the groove.
4. In this recess pour liquid mix parallel solution components.
5. Once the mixture has absorbed all the water, add a little more liquid.

The application of concrete mortar

For the application will have the required permissions and trowel. Best of all, if the capacity in which you finished concrete mixture will be in the same room where you want to make a screed floor. In this case the mixer is not critical, as it usually has wheels by which can move to the desired premises.

• Move the mixture onto the floor with a shovel, scatter it between beacons. Should start from the wall, it is desirable to scatter more or less uniformly.
• Using a trowel, spend an easy editing: align grooves, fold the excess mortar to the other side of the lighthouse. The mixture should not throw very boldly, as it must be ensured that the reinforcing grid is not dropped during the laying of the material.
• Now it is necessary to hold the alignment of the base. To do this, drag a tool in the party, with the slide rule from side to side.

The rule should be as harder. You need to pull a big enough push. If incorrectly calculate the strength, the more likely it pognotsya in the center. Because of this, between the lighthouses will be a trough which is considered an essential defect. Do not be lazy to clean contaminants from the beacons.

• In the same way is screed in all the required rooms. It is worth remembering that it is sometimes necessary to throw up the concrete mix at the places where the seats are more subtle than all over the floor.

In carrying out work on the floor filling is nothing complicated, important to use our instructions. Start works best on the farthest wall and move toward the exit of the room.
