Arrangement of toppings

 

As of today the most popular technology may be considered technology of commercial concrete floors with hardened top coating, so called "topping". Sphere of application of this technology is rather wide: new floors in residential, office, commercial buildings and premises, warehouses and shopping complexes, garages, parking etc.

The main advantages of concrete floors with hardened top coating include:

  • high wear resistance of the surface, absence of dust
  • extended service life in comparison with traditional concrete floor
  • wide range of colours
  • top high-strength layer forms monolith with concrete base
  • floor construction does not require any special conditions
  • low cost of the coating in comparison with polymeric floors
  • the term of works shall be reduced in comparison with other coatings: receiving of ready for service coating during one operational cycle

 

Arrangement of concrete floors with reinforced top layer:

  • arrangement of concrete base of commercial floor
  • introduction of dry or wet hardener onto the surface of fresh concrete and its subsequent embedding with the help of blade machines ("helicopters")
  • step-by-step trimming of hardening mixture by discs and processing of the concrete floor surface with blades of a trowelling machine
  • treatment with acrylic lacquers for blockage of moisture in concrete for its uniform maturing
  • arrangement of movement joints and their filling with sealants.

 

Concrete floors with hardened top coating are long-lasting, they are remarkable for high abrasion resistance index, economically attractive, allow to avoid dust production and to improve significantly service properties of concrete floors without changing the term of works.
