Choosing the right stuff

Garage Forecourt Concreting

Preparation Options

Most Garage forecourt concrete is installed as ‘hit and miss’ bays, with this allowing access for detailed finishing. Bays are usually separated by permanent plastic formwork, with steel mesh reinforcement cut to size within the bays. Details and kerbs are usually isolated with a thin permanent separation strip, approximately 10mm wide.

Mesh & Reinforcement
The metal mesh into which we pour the concrete to increase the slab strength.

Shuttering
The frame around the pour area to keep the concrete in place whilst it dries.

Permanent formwork
Permanent shuttering installed to divide the bays that are poured on different days

Types of Lay

Garage forecourt concreting is usually installed, using permanent formwork as a screed rail to lay from. Care is taken to ensure falls and levels are followed to eliminate ponding. forecourts are usually laid to an SR3 level of tolerance. See our page on floor tolerances for more info.

Finishing Considerations

With every Garage Forecourt Concreting project, we recommend a brush finish with trowelled margins. Not only is this attractive but also slip resistant. Joints are sealed with an oil resistant sealant.

Brush Finish
A rough, high grip finish usually used in Car Parks, Outdoor Yards & Garage Forecourts.

Brush Finish
This is the best finish for maximum slip resistance and aesthetics.
