Concrete Floor

hace 11 años
Is this a concrete overlay over a wood subfloor? I am looking to do a concrete floor on a raise foundation. Some say you just put an overlay on top a reinforced surface, but not super thick, like 3/4". Others have said it needs to be 2" think poured on top of the subfloor to prevent cracks. But that is quite heavy. How was this done?

    We used a light weight self leveling concrete product over a wood structure. It needs to be at least 1.5 inches thick with scores joints or it will crack

    Can you act as a consultant on our CT project? We have a wonderful mason and we need to install this type of concrete floor over 1100 sq ft wood structure. I'm happy to compensate you for the consultation. May I call you? Demo of our existing tile floor will begin soon.

    Sorry we really do not have time to do this. If you have a good GC or sub consultant that should be fine.

    To elaborate on your question: It was actually regular strength concrete that was dusted with the color while it was setting up. Very simple and straight forward. Score joints cut in after it had cured.
