Screed floor

I would not talk about a new house or apartment, and, say, a cottage or farmhouse, or a private house.


When I bought himself a private house in the Crimea, I ran into this problem as the wood floors.

Even in times of shovels put wood floors only to be warmer than now in our time, there are heated floors and all kinds of insulation, which we have, I'll tell you later.

But over time, wood floors prognvayut what happened, and it was necessary somehow to urgently change or make a screed. Screed - this is what you see, say, in a new apartment, when it comes to her look.

She is on top of concrete floors, and, say, in the bathroom she zelivaetsya surface of insulating material. But let's proceed ... First came all the old boards, half of which are made to break and pass on the street. Well, break it is not worth, I did it quickly). It turned out that the foundation of the house there is little he actually stands on the bare ground. Take the remainder of the construction site neighbors (or your) pieces of brick and stone (in Crimea are using shell) and go to sleep on the floor vacated by about half as much as you want to raise the floor to leave 10.5 inches at the screed. Stamps everything carefully, just strolling by nastilanym residues brick and rubble. Next, prepare the solution for most ties. I personally use just screened out the sand and cement.

Typically, the ratio of two to one. That is, for example one bucket of cement and two buckets of sand. Cement is also necessary to choose correctly. How do I tell you the following story. To prepare the solution we need to own cement, sand, old or old bath tub for mixing mortar, and possibly crushed. Screed is mainly done to equalize the sexes, and insulation of the building. How to cook the mixture for the tie, I'll detail next time. The finished mixture is evenly distributed over the surface of our future sex.

You must then leveled our work of art. Grab a piece of flat wood about a meter long and done the following. Fill the 1-meter 2kvadratnyh floor mortar and leveled a piece of wood well, or something more comfortable.

And so long as our entire floor will be poured. Then wait at least a day and you can either continue to insulate the floor or leave it as is, so far. When all dried up to verify exactly if we all did. For this level we take and apply in different parts of the floor. If all is well can be a little bit to warm it, but if there are irregularities, remove them.

Here I spoke briefly as I did, and if you vozniklk any questions as it all done independently. Write to me.
