Do-it-yourself floating reinforced screed

Every person who in his life, when he has built something, knows perfectly well, understands all the charms, and the joys of construction, or repair. Construction takes a huge amount of effort and money.

Many people, in order to avoid such events, hire a team of professional builders, and they fulfill the task assigned to them in due time. But it is a pleasure for people who have enough money, because services are not cheap. How to be a simple person who could not save for a construction site, or repair. Everything is simple, build, and repair on your own, without any help.

The author, having built his country house with the help of builders, decides to do the interior decoration on his own. Before starting work on finishing the premises, he carefully studies all the stages and all the nuances of this work.

First you need to fill the floors on the second floor, since the builders coped with the first. He consulted at one of the forums with the builders registered on this resource. And he came to the conclusion that it is necessary to fill the floor with a reinforcing screed.

This type of flooring is very good for its performance characteristics, such as increased hardness obtained through the use of reinforcing component.

Before starting work on pouring the floor plane, a layer of waterproofing should be applied to the concrete surface of the floor. Then follows a layer of insulation, on a poralonny basis. It is necessary to make a cold bridge from the external wall, it is just done by putting a plate of polystyrene, or a similar insulation, from the wall at least 1 meter. Next, the reinforcing mesh is laid, so that everything works out fine, you need to put small pieces of plywood or material similar to it under the reinforcement to raise it from the floor and then it turns out, as it were, in the middle of the solution. And already on top of all this cake, a cement screed is made.

And so now let's take a closer look at how he carried out these works on filling and reinforcing the floor, which he needed for this.

Materials: cement, insulation, reinforcing mesh.
Instruments: knife, rules, putty knife, shovel, hacksaw.

And so, the first thing is waterproofing.

Next makes a bridge of cold.

Then the insulation is laid.

The reinforcing mesh is laid.



And then the surface is filled.






That’s all the pouring is completed, and one more tip from the author, while the cement is gaining strength, it is advisable to moisten it with water.

The flooring is finished, he is very pleased with his work and the money saved for the family budget.
The author recommends everyone to do more things do it yourself, pose, learn and create.

And it caught my eye ... And who can tell me why there is mounting foam there? ... Especially if polystyrene with a “quarter” ???
And why then cut it and seal it with foil tape ???
.... But where it is needed - it is not there! He thought of bricking the heating pipe with concrete !!!!

.... In general - this visual aid can be called "How to make a screed incorrectly by ditching expensive materials!"
But not! ... I didn’t look well ... It was meant that the author of this action for some reason (why? !!!!) put extruded polystyrene from the outer wall. What did it give him, I did not understand !!! (The basement must be insulated from the outside, not the floor inside! He wants to shift the dew point deep into the building ???). The screed will freeze from the outer wall, not from the bottom. And it will freeze, because, as I described above, the author did not do the damper !!! And it can crack - it’s warmed up from the room, it abuts against a cold wall without any laying. Further, deep into the room, the author accidentally managed to do it right - the raised edges of the “insulation, on a roll-by-roll basis” play the role of a damper ... (in fact, foil-foamed polyethylene)
Speaking of fittings. No need to put plywood! It would have been swallowed up in concrete and would have been lower yet.
"increased hardness obtained through the use of a reinforcing component." ...: wink:
Do you really think that concrete is getting harder due to the fact that reinforcement mesh has been poured into it? ....: wink:
Reinforcement increases structural strength, but not hardness !!! Concrete, as the material is very hard, is practically not compressible. But it stretches very easily when stretched. Therefore, metal is needed - it easily tolerates attempts to stretch and protects concrete from cracks. And that is why the fittings should be down. . When the concrete slab sags, its top “strives to shrink, and the bottom - to stretch. Many neglect this and put it in the middle where it“ does not work. ”The slab will crack anyway. The fittings simply will not let it crumble after that ...
"From the outer wall you definitely need to make a bridge of cold,"
I liked this "pearl" !!! : wink:
A "cold bridge" is when there is something with HIGH thermal conductivity through which the "cold" passes (in fact, the heat leaves).
Here, on the contrary, the "bridge of anti-cold": winked:
In conclusion, I will tell those who do, and do not understand what they are doing)))). This gasket is very indirectly related to heat. This is a damper! The screed is subject to thermal expansion and if it has nowhere to "play", it will crack. In large areas, such "cold bridges" are made not only near the walls, but also in the middle, from thin elastic material.
