Tip 1: How to make floor waterproofing
Implementation of waterproofing the floor can bedescribed as an important construction process that helps to solve the problem of protecting surfaces from moisture. Before starting the design of the work, it is necessary to clarify some points.
How to choose concrete
Waterproofing of the floor on a concrete basegood quality from M150 or higher must be performed using penetrating formulations. The substance must penetrate the structure of the concrete as deep as possible. A good option is 40 cm. At this depth, a qualitative penetrating waterproofing goes inside. Activities to create waterproofing should be carried out in accordance with the rules of the Technological Regulations. To apply the waterproofing compound to the surface, you can use any convenient tool. The composition should be distributed over the surface in the form of a uniform layer - for this you can use a grout, that is a half-rub, or a roller. Finishing work can be carried out not earlier than three weeks after the insulation. Sometimes the quality of concrete is not particularly good. If the product itself is loose and with multiple cracks, the floor waterproofing will be required by the monolithic pouring method. Use should be made of a special hydraulic composition. Characteristics of water resistance - from W12 to W20. To give the concrete product of the required quality, special additives must be introduced in them. With their help, you can significantly increase water resistance.Work performance features
When carrying out waterproofing, it is necessary to take into accountthickness of the concrete floor. It should be done no less than 10-12 cm. It is necessary to carry out reinforcement and vibration. The joints of the floor and wall constructions must be carefully treated. Failure to do this will result in the emergence of areas where moisture will leak. Perfectly suitable for hydroprotection of joints of a hydrostructure or a hydraulic cord. Places where communication inputs are provided are sealed with special sealing compounds. Both pipes and electricians must never come into contact with moisture under any circumstances. The penetrating insulation for the floor can be replaced with an injection one. As working materials are a variety of gels, polymers, resins. But such events are related to those that are carried out with the help of special equipment. It is almost impossible to carry out waterproofing of this kind on its own.Tip 2: How to make a waterproofing in the house
How to make a waterproofing in the house - a question, abovewhich need to be thought of even before construction begins. The humidity level in the building can rise due to the fact that the external walls are in contact with moisture. This leads to destruction of the masonry and an increase in humidity in the room, which almost always causes the appearance of microorganisms.
Instructions
1
Waterproofing will make the house protected, allowavoid penetration of moisture inside the building. Waterproofing the house can include a list of tasks, including work to protect the roof from moisture. This is really an important point, because moisture can enter the room through poorly laid roofing material.
2
If we talk not about private houses, but about apartments,then they often waterproofed the bathroom. This is a room whose walls are constantly affected by moisture. To finish the bathroom is best to use liquid materials.
3
Before you make a waterproofing in the house, you needto assess the scope of the work and understand whether you will cope. Perhaps you need the help of professionals, especially if you have to do a lot of work.
4
If the house is built on the ground, where the groundwater lies close to the surface, a waterproofing of the foundation is necessary. Be sure to consider the type of foundation.
5
Waterproofing can be vertical andhorizontal. The vertical is performed most often, it is very effective, its installation is quite easy. The use of horizontal is based on the use of special solutions, for example, a concrete solution with the addition of liquid glass.
6
In houses, except for the works listed above, waterproofing of the floor or waterproofing of walls is often required. Especially this applies to the protection of the basement from moisture.
7
Waterproofing the foundation is carried out in severalstages. If you chose vertical insulation, then make it in three layers. The easiest way is to mix bitumen and kerosene in a certain proportion.
8
For the first layer, the proportion is 25 to 75%,for the second - 50 to 50%, the third - 75 to 25%. Kerosene can be replaced with gasoline, this is the simplest method and the cheapest. Of course, if possible, it is better to use modern materials, then the waterproofing will be better.
9
Waterproofing can be done on a dry orwet surface. For the bathroom is well suited for waterproofing penetrating action. The walls are covered with a compound that penetrates the wall, clogging the capillaries with crystals. It is worth noting that the walls do not cease to "breathe", this is a very important point.
10
Bath waterproofing can be performed withuse of materials on bitumen basis. Widely used cement-polymer mastics. In addition, you can use self-adhesive and fusible glass fabrics. Self-adhesive fiberglass is especially convenient in installation.
11
Before you make a waterproofing at home, buy the material. Any waterproofing requires preliminary preparation of the surface. Align the walls in such a way that there is not a large difference in height.
12
Oaklaychnaya waterproofing - the fastest wayprotect the room. Waterproofing of the floor can also be made with adhesive materials. After you lay the roll material, you can walk on the floor without fear of damaging it.
13
Oily waterproofing can be made asoutside, and inside the building. Bitumen mastic is applied in several layers, it reliably protects the premises from penetration of capillary moisture. You can choose bitumen-rubber or bitumen-polymer mastics. They are resistant to external influences and perfectly adhere to the surface.
Tip 3: How to equip the garage
Garage is needed not only to protect against rain and wind - it can be a convenient parking lot for a car and a warm workshop. To create the optimal conditions in the garage, you need to improve its space.
You will need
- - heat-insulating materials;
- - waterproofing materials;
- - electrotechnical equipment;
- - Heater.
Instructions
1
Choose the optimal conditionsGarage must be dry, warm and light. There are several types of garages: metal, wooden, brick. In metal structures, the machine overheats in the summer, and in the cold season it forms condensation and it rusts. Choose for your car a brick garage - it is easiest to provide the necessary conditions. To maintain the permissible humidity (50 - 70%) and the optimum temperature +5 degrees, do the following: waterproofing the floor and roof, insulation, installation of ventilation and lighting.
2
Protect against moisture.construction of the roof, this protection was made, conduct a waterproofing floor. For this, it is necessary to pour hot bitumen of each of the 3 layers of roofing material, stacked on top of each other. Do waterproofing in the form of a closed shell, laying around the perimeter of the garage. In order not to create moisture on the walls, make an additional vertical waterproofing of walls with the same lubricating method. On the prepared surfaces, do the finishing work.
3
Make lightingFor a comfortable stay ingarage is not enough daylight. Fit the general lighting of the entire space and the local - in the work areas. To ensure ventilation, install an asbestos-cement exhaust pipe with a diameter of at least 150 mm. To exhaust fumes and vapors of gasoline are well removed their premises, the lower end of this tube is located closer to the floor. Provide forced supply and exhaust ventilation by mounting an electrical exhaust system.
4
Heating garage Garage heating can be carried outin different ways: water or air type, if the garage is attached to the house or using heat guns, infrared emitters or other devices. Use a simple method - heat a small room with a fan heater equipped with a liquid heat exchanger. This device will provide air circulation and the necessary humidity.
5
Make the insulation To preserve the optimalconditions, carry out the warming of the garage with classical materials: fiberglass, polymer or mineral wool. They are easy to install and have high fire resistance.
6
Install in the garage swing doors or curtains. On the metal products from the inside, condensation forms, creating unnecessary moisture, so to save heat choose a swing gate. Run them on a metal frame and cover with a lining. If it is important for you to save space, stop at modern options: lifting, folding or folding types.
