Concrete Floor Installation Toronto, GTA & South Ontario

The process of concrete floor installation can vary depending on the specifics of your property, objectives and other details. 
 

• Site Preparation - the area where the concrete floor will be installed is prepared by removing any existing flooring, debris, or obstacles. The surface is then cleaned and leveled to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth result.

• Subfloor Preparation - if necessary, a subfloor is created by adding a layer of gravel or compacted soil to provide a stable base for the concrete. Any necessary moisture barrier or insulation is also installed at this stage.

• Formwork or Molds - are set up along the perimeter of the area to contain the concrete. This can be done using wooden boards, metal frames, or other materials that will create the desired shape and thickness of the floor.

• Reinforcement - if additional strength is required, steel reinforcement mesh or rebars may be placed within the formwork to reinforce the concrete.

• Mixing and Pouring - the concrete is mixed according to the desired specifications, typically using a combination of cement, aggregates, water, and additives. The mixed concrete is then poured into the prepared area, taking care to distribute it evenly and avoid air pockets.

• Concrete Finishing - once the concrete is poured, it is leveled and smoothed using various tools such as screeds, trowels, and floats. This helps to achieve a flat and even surface and removes any excess water or air from the concrete.

• Curing - after the concrete is finished, it needs to cure to gain strength and durability. This is done by keeping the concrete moist and protected from extreme temperatures for a specified period.

• Sealing and Finishing - once the concrete has cured, it can be sealed to enhance its appearance and protect it from stains and damage. Various sealing options, such as acrylic, epoxy, or polyurethane coatings, can be applied depending on the desired look and level of protection.

• Maintenance - regular maintenance is important to keep the concrete floor in good condition. This may include regular cleaning, resealing, and addressing any cracks or repairs as needed.
   

It's important to note that the exact process may vary depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the project, as well as any specific requirements or customization requested. Skilled concrete contractors will ensure that each step is executed carefully to achieve a high-quality and long-lasting concrete floor.
