The construction of any building is not limited only to the construction of walls and roofing. One of the important elements is the concrete blind area around the house, which is considered mandatory.
By “encircling” the concrete foundation, it ensures the durability of the structure. Its main function is to protect the surrounding land and the foundation itself from ground and external waters. Thanks to it, moisture will not seep inside, producing a destructive effect.

How a concrete blind area is formed: features of work
To create a blind area, different materials are used - concrete mixture, stones, tiles and even clay. Among all, concrete is considered the most inexpensive and easy-to-work raw material, capable of providing excellent performance properties in the future.
For work, a mixture of cement, sand and water in a certain proportion is initially prepared, or ready-made concrete is ordered in advance. Before pouring, formwork made of boards or sheet metal is installed. The elements are attached using nails or threaded connections, creating a collapsible structure of the required size.
The protective concrete perimeter is laid on a compacted sand base. The density coefficient of such a “cushion” is 0.98, which means the width of the sand layer is at least 10 cm. Filling is carried out with a thickness of at least 5 centimeters, the created surface must certainly be flat. For this purpose, an ironing procedure is performed. The process itself consists of sprinkling 5-7 millimeters of fresh concrete with cement powder and further compacting it using a trowel. This procedure is recommended to be carried out 1-2 hours after pouring concrete.
The concrete blind area is separated from the building by special joints, and separation joints must be made every 5-6 meters. For this purpose, boards treated with an antiseptic with a thickness of up to 2 centimeters are used, which must be installed on the edge.
Surface decoration is also allowed. This could be stone, pebbles or paving slabs.
The key features that experts usually take into account include the following:
As a rule, the blind area is drawn up after all construction and finishing work has been completed.
