[quote][i]Originally posted by MatG[/i] Adam this may be of help. It's a copy of a post I made on aoc some time ago. Although there are not any finished pictures I have fitted a rubber stud tile floor to my garage. I have had my car on axle stands and jacks for periods of time and the floor takes it no problem. [QUOTE]I was meant to do this a year and half ago, but it got finished, then got filled with a car for a while then junk and I never got finished pictures (dumb ass!). However as I need to get the garage empty for next weekend, this may give me some motivation (fact chance!). So this is the process of the my garage floor: The garage floor after 50 years of dirt, oil, paint, whatever on it: [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4465.jpg[/IMG] The back passage to the garden, basically paving slabs on a mixture of sand, cement, soil, and god knows what. This area was done purely for me to test a couple of products in extreme temperature and moisture content area: [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4470.jpg[/IMG] This then needed to be scarified, and sanded to get rid of the years of residue: [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4472.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4473.jpg[/IMG] Once Sanded, it needs a good clean just to make sure all the oil, grease and residues that could cause the floor finish to not adhere to the floor: [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4475.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4476.jpg[/IMG] The back passage had large holes that needed to be filled before any work could commence, for this I used Rapid repair mortar. Its very hard and sticks like shit to a blanket ;) : [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4474.jpg[/IMG] Once dried the entire area is vacuumed several times to ensure all dust is removed: [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4478.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4479.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4477.jpg[/IMG] Once we were happy the floor was clean, we damp proofed the floors, garage floors of this age will not have any kind of DPM under them, and the paving slabs dont have them full stop. I use an epoxy resin compound that will block 99.7% moisture: [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4482.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4484.jpg[/IMG] Two coats are applied making sure that not even a pin hole is left: [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4483.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4485.jpg[/IMG] Once its cured, a primer is applied to ensure further coverings will adhere to the rubberised surface: [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4486.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4487.jpg[/IMG] Once cured, its ready for the base coat of cement screed, in this case a very heavy duty screed cement at a minimum of 8mm thickness, as the weight of a car will be sitting on it: [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4488.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg1/matgAOC/The%20Garage/DSCF4489.jpg[/IMG] This is as far as I got picture wise, I will clear the garage out and show you the finished flooring fitted. :)[/QUOTE] If you need any info at all give me a shout, this is what I do for a living ;) [Edited on 24-10-2010 by MatG] [/quote]
