Pouring the Concrete Floor

Concrete contractor Shawn Doyle is on hand to review the techniques used in pouring the concrete floor of the garage. A laser levels is used to ensure an accurate level and several power and hand tools are used to smooth the floor. Lastly, a control joint is installed to allow for expansion and contraction of the floor.

" Bob now it is that if -- thought it was great contractor aren't as good -- that's the big job you got here. Death and not a do it yourself as a used to doing maybe a little six by eight foot four. At first dinner some night that this is 26 by AD and right now he's -- the first fifty feet -- it right correct OK. Any tricks."

" This -- steps to take because of concrete. We're stuck and it spread out what do you do when Matt do you go like this one section at a time yes football like up -- like seventy. The -- control join in at that time. Oxford health and her head and continued to the next step. It was an airport relatives -- what a perfect -- crowd that make sure that the water. -- Off. -- And -- job. So this. Shot as the screen just a two by a forest out of steel aren't exactly yelled -- it's now. What is it you're there anyway do you start in the middle that street are figured out of -- pat."

" This is not finished for quite right yeah. Music guide on how wide apart we have both with."

" Yeah shot now how do you make sure that the slab is all uniform leave and it flat okay yup that's what's written yet. That judgment on the -- the lakes are right. This off instrument except for the sill plate which just finished floor idea factory right that time for the Lloyd yeah ha ha. As well as it's a steady beat it means is right on right exactly yeah okay that I can take this. Particular graves back out of this area right yeah. Reported that the ladies are. There are solid -- and I got all that -- elevation in the salvation not a thing and then you'll be able discrete from that exactly."

" Now the little car machine that. John if you if you qualify as. The shot what is the -- Float do that the up our street won't do for -- basically is to seal on the surface or anymore creep up on the top. Please him agreement the type you can bring up the Portland the -- the fact sorts I think creamy for me to finish OK yet."

" OK now why do you need to snap a line at this point if you already off. Crack crack it folds like airports 26 by this area right without find out about -- cracking. -- trying to ports or weak point in this sort controlled cracking OK to a central joint particularly more charges what what all right. And it's this white thing. But it is likely and it's called that strip here. We snapped a line appointed a point pretty sure this goes in -- yes. Get it up. And you just think what is it that's exactly and that's been. I think about a -- that's. Okay then our next step Bob is to pull off the -- the top scale the top back. Okay at least that peace and yeah this -- push it got a lot of bad. They get close without -- brought it to sort what we have all the finished wall height but that will provide -- into -- things. Exactly."

" So the reinforcing wire is doing to -- overlap it and then you bend. The extra pieces like that now shot I've never seen it used in sheets like this usually comes in rolls right. Correct all what you buy and -- ice sheets because it's something I -- myself the other I don't worry about a big roll roll it back up on me yet. I believe it's safe but you're also stars and only goes yet now tell me about this this piece of metal that you've got -- this -- that this is a metal loft. He way this is where the porous. Ending. Construction joint dude who won't we -- form the other piece advance. When that too but back again not. I'm not worried about expansion opening I'm worried about deflection yeah what -- going higher -- some earth and that not exactly. That makes a lot of sense."

Determining Moisture Content in Concrete Floors

Bob talks with homeowner Howard Brickman about drying out of the new addition. Concrete can pose problems for the wood-floor installation business. Brickman's consulting business created a device that measures the relative humidity of the interior of the concrete and predicts what will happen after the concrete is covered with a floor covering. The whole exterior structure of the addition, except for the roof, is made of concrete. It's critical that the concrete that makes up the floor is dried before the wood floor is installed. This is especially true in Southern climates where there is a high amount of humidity.

Sealing a Concrete Floor to Make it Waterproof

Bob talks with Howard Brickman of Brickman Consulting about waterproofing the concrete basement floor. Brickman is putting water down on the floor to make the floor more absorbent for the sealant he will be applying later. To seal the concrete, Brickman will use Bone Dry, a sodium silicate with enzymes, to penetrate and seal up any spaces in the concrete to prevent water intrusion.

Color Staining a Concrete Floor

Tom Moorad joins Bob to show how his proprietary technique and product for color staining concrete is applied. He explains that the concrete slab should first be etched then treated with a mineral acid -- not muriatic acid, as that is too strong and will degrade the acrylic stain that goes on the surface. This is called "shocking the substrate". Moorad then applies the stain with a hand pump, making drip patterns over a small area and using a squeegee or skimmer to move the material across the surface. The key is to avoid pooling or puddles and to be sure that it sinks into the surface. The stain dries very quickly and will be covered with two other colors to complement the dark metallic look of the Porcelanosa tile inside. Moorad applies a final clear coat sealant once the colors have been set. Homeowners Jim Minardi and Teresa Fogelini tell Bob about the other selections they have made for floors, including a light oyster color for the pool deck, which will reflect light and stay cooler. The bedroom adjacent to the lanai area will have Bellawood hardwood Brazilian walnut.

Integrating Radiant Heat in a Concrete Floor

The PEX tubing is set in the concrete and will circulate hot water used to heat the addition. Jason McKinnon of Viega North America reviews the features of PEX tubing. PEX is electronically cross-linked polyethylene tubing that is made to be stronger and resistant to high temperatures and pressures. The PEX tubing was placed in the concrete slab. The concrete acts a low-temperature radiator for the tubing. High temperature water will be pumped through the coils and heat will dissipate into the slab. A heated slab acts as a radiant heat source for the home. Tim Cutler of TJ's Plumbing & Heating reviews how the tubing was placed within the slab. In a radiant-heat application, the tubing is evenly spread out across the floor. With radiant heat, the air is not heated, only the floor. The heat is modulated according to outside weather conditions so a precise amount of heat is sent through the coils to warm the building's interior to the desired temperature. A heat/loss analysis done on the home indicates that the tubing should have nine-inch spacing for five circuits. During manufacturing, the tubing has 10,000 volts sent through it which cause the molecules to cross-link. This makes the tubing virtually indestructible. An oxygen barrier is sprayed on it to protect the boiler and the heating system from oxygen infiltration, which causes cast iron boilers to deteriorate. A foam stapler pushes plastic clips with prongs into the foam decking to secure the tubing in place.
