Hello everyone,

Our architect recommended installing a screed with a slope toward the garage door.

At the back, 9 cm (3.5 inches), and at the front, 6 cm (2.5 inches) of screed. So 3 cm (1 inch) over approximately 6.50 m (21 feet), which is about a 0.5% slope.

Would this be noticeable, for example, if you celebrate a birthday in the garage with beer tables set up?

Thanks.

I don’t think so… and definitely not after the fifth beer… :-)

You won’t notice that.
Unfortunately, neither will the water with such a low slope ;-)

Hello "Silent010".

The response from "bortel" couldn’t have been more accurate!
I also wonder why such a thick cement screed is being used. At 90mm (3.5 inches) thickness, it becomes almost impossible to properly compact it manually during installation.
If it is meant to be a bonded screed, this thickness doesn’t make sense and is furthermore problematic because it is too thick for a bonded screed.
It will randomly crack on the surface.

Best regards, KlaRa
