Garage from slag blocks with their own hands

Build garages from the slagoblock began in the 70s of the last century and so far this technology remains relevant. Because it allows you to build a good "house" for the car for short time and with small material costs.

Construction material

The slagoblock is made of ash and slag by pressing concrete. It is less common that there are no expensive components in the form of a bunch of bricks, sand or gravel discrave. In order to increase the thermal conductivity, a part of the ceramzite, perlite or polystyrene is present in the building material.
According to the structure of the porous slag blocks, they resemble bricks in shape, only with holes inside, their weight is not large, and the dimensions are large, in the aggregate, these qualities make the slagoblock almost an ideal building material. Slagoblocks are two options:

1. Hollow, their weight fluctuates in the range of 15-21 kg.
2. Full-time whose weight reaches 27 kg.

For construction, the domain slag blaft is most often used, consisting of particles-granules than these particles are more, the easier for the material and below its thermal conductivity.
Many people, knowing what price category of the slag block, in absentia, consider this material not reliable, but it is not. The garages from the slagoblock are durable, are not affected and they will serve at least half a century for sure.

Pros and cons of garage from slag blocks

This type of construction of the garage has a number of both the advantages and disadvantages:
The advantages include:

1. Low value of the material.
2. Small cement consumption when laying material.
3. Easy laying and the rate of construction of an object.
4. Uncomplicated foundation thanks to the light weight of the slag block.
5. Wide scope of application.

The disadvantages include:

1. Low sound insulation.
2. Comparatively low strength.
3. The inclusion of toxic substances.

Pluses still turns out more, but to decide, of course, the builder.
It costs one slag from 25 to 45 p., Thanks to the porous structure, cement is consumed less than for example, when brickwork. And if you will produce the construction of a garage from the slag block with your own hands, then with the save also about 20 rubles per 1 piece. So that such a garage will get very budget.

Start of construction

Usually the construction of garages from the slag block begins with watching photos of finished designs, then the project preparation, estimates, purchases and construction sites.
Before the start of construction, you need to do the following:

1. View the area where the construction of the garage will be held, learn about the composition of the soil, as far as it is freezing in the winter, and where underground waters are passing.
2. Determine at what distance communications, water and light pass.
3. Observe the draft garage from the slag block.
4. Make calculate materials.

To assess the scale of construction, you need to make a project. Many inexperienced builders of this word are frightened by imagining themselves the drawings. In fact, it is enough to sketch everything you plan to build. The project will very much accelerate the construction process.
What should be in the project:

1. Purpose of construction: Determine whether the car will only be stored in the garage, or it can be repaired in the same place.
2. Garage sizes.
3. Availability of observation pit or cellar.
4. The number of consumables.

A well-thought-out project will allow not to miss all the important points and nuances in construction.
Now it is necessary to decide how much the slag block for the construction of the garage. The block in the standard has dimensions of 30x19x19 cm. 13 slag blocks are placed in a square meter. Now you need to calculate the area of \u200b\u200bthe garage, take away the size of the gate, and multiply the area of \u200b\u200bthe structure by 13, and the number of slag block will be obtained for the garage.

Foundation for garage

After you received permission to build a garage, you can start work:

1. Make marking on the soil with rope and pegs.
2. Drop the trench for the foundation (width 40 cm, depth 1 m).
3. Cross the walls so that they are smooth.
4. Remove the ground from the bottom of the trench so that it is not loose.
5. Plot with layers trench: layer of sand, sand layer with bits of bricks or stone. Each layer must be 15 cm at 15 cm and well tumped, the last layer must be 10 cm from the ground.
6. So that the foundation is more durable, it is recommended to pour it with a mortar with cement.
7. Make a break, in order not to accumulate melt water and after the rain.

Construction socle, gates and walls

To build a base, it is necessary to establish a formwork, 10 cm wide. If the place under the garage is not perfectly even, then you need to find the highest point and add 10 cm to it, it is from this distance to mark the horizon. Next, it is necessary to give waterproofing, it will suit two layers of rubberoid. Thus, the walls will not absorb moisture from the ground.
Before eating the walls, you need to put the gate, so they will be better fixed with masonry. So that there is additional strength, to the frame you need to privitate a rod 12 cm in diameter, then they will damn behind the seams of masonry. Before installing the gate, they need to be painted in two layers. They are installed strictly vertically using a level. Fixed with wooden disclosures.
Special rules, how to build the walls of the garage from the slag block, no. Everything is performed by the same principles as in brickwork. You can put the slag block into the shell, in the stone - in one and a half or two stones. As practice shows, if we put a slag block in 1stone, then such a garage freely maintains the temperature in -20 degrees and the impulses of the wind 18 m / s.
Do not forget to make a forced ventilation wall as a garage should be well ventilated to avoid carbon monoxide flocked there was fumes from the oil adhered to the snow wheels.
As for the insulation of the walls, the event is not compulsory, but desirable. Humidity in a warmed garage will be elevated, and possibly in the cold time will mow the walls. Why then generally warm the garage? The answer is simple - so that there are no sudden temperature drops in the garage, which it extremely negatively affects the condition of the car. Yes, and repair in a warm garage is more comfortable than in the cold. It can be insulated with a foam or fiberglass, from above, you can attach polyethylene, which will protect from dirt, and last time to put GLC.

Construction of overlapping and roof

To build a flood, you need to buy 2-meter beams, a height of 120 mm, and 250 mm wide greater than the room itself. And then perform such actions:

1. Put the beams in a step of 80 cm so that they repeat the slope of the longest wall, across the garage.
2. Brux whose thickness is 40 mm, it is more dense from below.
3. Next to BRUSEV to lay a rubberoid.
4. From above Ruberoid put slag or clayzit.
5. Make sure that in front and rear roof speakers 20 cm. It will be a kind of visors that protect the walls from the rain.
6. From above, slag must be done 20 mm tie.
7. You can protect the roof from the moisture content with the help of a ruble. Before applying the screed, you need to handle the primer.

Construction of scene, floors

The garage floor is built alongside the base. The concrete screed must be in thickness from 10 cm.

1. Soil clear and align, if there are big irregularities, then it is falling asleep with small rubble or sand. Well suited for these purposes concrete brand 200.
2. The concrete mixture is poured continuously and layers. When meeting beacons, you need to carefully get around them and concrete to lay between them.
3. When concrete grabbed, the floor must be lost.
4. A similar method makes a break, 50 cm wide. The concrete layer in this case can be about 5 cm. In order for melt water and after the rain flows, the scene is made with a slope.

The garage finish is simple. It is possible to separate the walls with cement mortar, then plaster and cheer. And you can also tinker.
Here is a garage and ready, it remains only to put all things inside it in places, determine the place for the tools and cute heart of things. If you still doubt whether we can cope with the construction of a garage from slag blocks, you can see a video that demonstrates all the construction technology.
