There is a number of requirements for flooring of garages. Flooring should be able to withstand heavy weight and vibration loads, falling heavy special tools. In addition, it should not deteriorate under the influence of chemicals, ultraviolet radiation, changing temperature regimes.
Today the construction market offers a wide range of garage floorings. You can pour a solid and durable, but very cold concrete base in the garage or choose available, but not wear-resistant wooden floors.
Many people prefer resilient rubber flooring, the main disadvantage of which is a difficult installation process. Among expensive options are the installation of acid-resistant ceramic tiles or porcelain stoneware.
However, experts say that the best solution is to order a poured floor. This is safe, high-strength and durable, and most importantly - fire-resistant coating.
What is a polymer floor for the garage
Polymer-based poured floor is a liquid mortar (usually two-component) that is applied to pre-treated base. It is a surface finish, it has no joints and corners, easy to clean, repairable.
To increase wear resistance, as well as to protect such a floor from the effects of aggressive environments and mechanical damage, a special varnish is applied.
Advantages of polymer coating:
- high strength;
- resistance to vibration loads;
- hydro- and heat-insulating properties;
- fire safety;
- resistance to temperature changes and exposure to chemicals;
- hygienic, easy maintenance;
- operational reliability;
- long service life (at least 20 years);
- quick installation;
- attractive appearance.
Depending on the chemical composition, you can choose cement-acrylic, methyl methacrylate, epoxy-based, polyurethane. The highest price for polymer floor for garage has elastomeric polyurethane-based finish coating.
Floor pouring technology in garage
One of the easiest ways to install a poured flooring is application of a mortar, which hardens, on a cement base. To do this, the rough floor should be cleaned of dirt, cracks should be sealed, and the surface should be leveled. The compensation gap should be closed along the perimeter. The next step is to apply primer to the prepared base.
The polymer mortar itself should be stirred immediately before pouring. This is a mandatory requirement. Pouring should be done in sectors, spreading the special mixture with a roller. After about 10 hours it is necessary to additionally apply a protective compound to the surface.
The quality of rough base for finishing floor in the garage, as well as compliance with the application technology, directly influence the reliability and service life of the flooring. Therefore, it is better to entrust the pouring of polymer-based mixture to professionals.
You can buy polymer floor coating and order installation at Hauptmann. It is easy to send an application through a special form on the official website, by phone or by e-mail. The cost of consumables, together with the floor pouring in garage is calculated separately for each project.
