Garage of aerated concrete. the main stages of construction

For each car enthusiast, the garage is practically a second home, so many people decide to build it themselves. For the construction of such a structure, first of all, it is necessary to determine the type of the main building material. Most people today give their preference to gazoblokam, since erecting a garage of aerated concrete with their own hands saves you time and money.

Such savings are possible due to the fact that aerated concrete blocks primarily have low weight, which reduces the cost of transportation and unloading. Secondly, the price of the blocks themselves is relatively low, and thirdly, the ease of installation of such building blocks allows anyone, even an inexperienced builder, to build a quality garage in a short time.

The advantages of aerated concrete as the main building material

The main advantages of this type of building blocks include:

• Affordable cost. Aerated concrete today can be called one of the cheapest building materials used for walling;
• Enviable thermal insulation parameters. This cellular material perfectly retains heat. Such properties will allow to preserve excellent microclimatic conditions in the garage. In winter, there will always be an acceptable temperature, and in summer there will be a slight coolness;
• Ease of installation. The construction of garages of aerated concrete is carried out without much difficulty quickly and easily. From the builder is not required to comply with maximum accuracy in order to get a flat and beautiful laying. Geometrical correctness of the clutch can ensure the verified dimensions of the sides;
• Ease of processing. The use of this material allows you to build the structure of any, even the most outstanding planning. This opportunity is provided due to the fact that the material is easily amenable to any kind of machining, among which is cutting of reinforced concrete with diamond circles, and diamond drilling of holes in concrete;
• Steam permeability. Aerated concrete - a material with a cellular structure, which contributes to the evaporation. These parameters provide quick drying of plaster mixes on aerated concrete masonry;

Council To preserve the vapor permeability parameters of the surface, it is necessary to refrain from painting with oil paints.

• Buildings of this type do not need a warming procedure., and accordingly costs are reduced;
• Environmental Safety. The solution for the production of these blocks consists only of natural components, and this suggests that the walls during operation of the building will not emit toxic fumes.

The main stages of construction

The instruction specifying the process of competent construction from this material includes the following steps:

1. A draft design of a garage of aerated concrete;
2. The construction of the foundation of the garage of aerated concrete;
3. Walling;
4. Binding;

Drafting

The process of building a garage for a car begins with the development of a construction project. Having rummaged in the Internet, you can find a lot of various projects, among which there will be both separate constructions and projects of aerated concrete houses with a garage. In addition to standard projects, you can always use the services of design organizations that will make a package of documentation that matches your preferences.

Council Designing should be entrusted to a professional. It is an experienced person in this matter who can make the most accurate calculations and design the building in accordance with your needs and the special features of the building plot. And you, thereby, avoid unnecessary problems.

When choosing a garage project, you should consider the following nuances:

1. Type and quality of soil on the site for construction;
2. Decide on the type of construction, whether it will be a separate building or an extension;
3. Decide on the number of cars that will be in the garage.

Foundation

Foundation под гаражом– это часть конструкции, которая обеспечивает надежность строения и его устойчивость. Несмотря на то, что газобетонные блоки обладают небольшим весом, они все же оказывают давление на почву.

As the foundation for the garage of such a construction material fit:

• Monolithic concrete slab;
• Lightweight foundation strip with a shallow depth.

Minimal shrinkage of aerated concrete exclude cracking of the walls.

Совет. Foundation для гаража из газобетона непременно должен быть гидроизолирован. Наилучшим материалом для гидроизоляции такой поверхности послужит гидростеклоизол.

Walling

To build walls, professionals use specialized glue instead of the usual mortar. This material is more expensive than conventional cement, but it will be much easier to work with it, and when used it will be as flat as possible, without much effort.

Note! When using glue for foam blocks, the joint between piece materials will be only 1 mm, while the cement mortar must have a thickness of 3 mm when laying.

Every two rows of blocks during the construction of walls should be made of a layer of reinforcing material. In order to make it easier to control the location of the reinforcement mesh, its protrusion from the edge of the masonry is allowed.

Binding

After the construction of the walls will be completed, you should proceed to the strapping.

This procedure is subject to the following features:

• If you plan to build a second floor, then you need to make a monolithic reinforced concrete belt;
• If the building is one-story, then the roof should be made of wooden strapping. Before such strapping should coat the walls with mastic and equip the waterproofing layer.

When the piping is finished, you should think about how the attic will be equipped, whether you need a viewing pit in the garage, and how to make the interior of the garage. (See also the article Concreting the floor in the garage: features.)

Finally

The use of aerated concrete blocks as the main building material is a great alternative to the usual materials for construction. Garage of aerated concrete blocks - it is economical, reliable and fast. A video in this article will open for you even more nuances of the construction of this structure.
