  • @robinhood4911
    @robinhood4911 20 часов назад

    I am not a specialist in making concrete floors, so my comments may be wrong. In my opinion, the people who poured the concrete did their job well, but I don't think that the others responsible for the effect of this work did it well. As it was noticed, the concrete contained more water than it should, which means the quality of the concrete is poorer. There is a reinforcing wire grid placed on the floor insulation and as you can see, it touches the insulation (there is no distance between them). In this case, the wire reinforcement will only be glued to the lower side of the concrete, and it should be "embedded" in the concrete at a certain height, therefore "spacers" should be placed under the wire grid so that the concrete flows under the reinforcement. In this version, this reinforcement is worthless and only increases the construction cost (time of laying the reinforcement and its purchase cost). In my opinion, the person laying the wire reinforcement should put spacers in the appropriate amount. Currently, there are concretes with added glass fibers and in such cases metal reinforcement is apparently unnecessary. There should be a small barrier between the floor and the walls (e.g. 2 thicknesses of felt) to prevent the concrete from cracking uncontrollably (concrete shrinks and cracks naturally, although the newest types of concrete, maybe, but I'm not sure, don't have this problem). After the concrete has dried (when it is sufficiently hard), the concrete is cut (about 1/3 of its depth) with a saw so that the cracks are in these cuts. Of course, these cuts are later filled with appropriate material. The distance between these cuts should be 4.5 m to 6 m (14 to 20 feet apart). The concrete foundations we see in the video should also have space for cracks (if we want to have control over their sealing), but that's a different topic. All objects emerging from concrete (pipes, manholes...) should be separated from the concrete with plastic foil so that they do not stick to the concrete. After the concrete dries, these gaps are glued using e.g. silicone to seal these places and prevent the passage of gases from the ground to the interior of the house (e.g. radon).

    "Just a Thought" I would imagine that the lesson to be learned here is to start rolling the pattern on the side where the first concrete was poured, thereby rolling with the drying pattern, not against it. If rolled this way, it's doubtful the weights would have been necessary, and the impressed patterns would be more consistent throughout the slab. YOUR THOUGHTS? "Live, Love, Learn" . . .

    You say "that could be the finished floor". Really?! It can be the finished floor? I have exactly this scenario. A center drain in the basement was relocated during a complete pipe replacement. The floor still has that dip in the center and lots of rough spots, irregularities and seams from different concrete pours. It's over a hundred years old, had tiles and carpet etc, before. I need to level the floor as well as make it one homogenous surface. This drainpipe excavation was an unplanned necessity and I don't have the budget to lay a floor. So this product is a self leveler and actually provides a durable , smooth finished surface? And It's ok if we paint or epoxy afterwards?
