CONCRETE
RESTORATION
Concrete is a long lasting, sustainable flooring option if properly maintained. however, neglecteD AND DAMAGED concrete flooring Is CommonPlace, ESPECIALLY IN INDUSTRIAL SETTINGS. fortunately, OUR CONCRETE RESTORATION TEAM IS able to restore CONCRETE FLOORING BACK to IT’S SUSTAINABLE nature. Each unique circumstance requireS a varying REPAIR solution, but generALLY is narrowED down into three main categories : Self levelling & overlayment, Dustproofing & Sealing, ANd Crack & Joint Repair/Filling.
Self-levelling & Overlayments
Self-leveLling concrete is a unique type of cementitious mixture designed to flow easily and settle onto a level surface without the need for extensive manual levelling. It is often used to create smooth, flat surfaces for flooring, particularly in situations where traditional concrete pouring and levelling methods may be impractical or time-consuming. Self-levelling generally reFERS to underLayments, meaning it’s not a “finished” floor. THIS LEADS TO OUR NEXT TOPIC AT HAND; OVERLAYMENTS.
A concrete overlay, (also known as a concrete topping), is a thin layer of concrete or a specialized concrete mixture applied over an existing concrete surface. It’s used to improve the appearance, durability, and functionality of the original concrete. Overlays can be decorative; providing a new surface that mimics the look of materials like stone, tile, or brick. they are also functional; adding strength, protection, or repair to the existing concrete. They are commonly used in both indoor and outdoor applications, such as driveways, patios, sidewalks, and interior floors.
Dustproofing & Sealing
Dustproofing concrete involves treating the surface of concrete to minimize the accumulation & GENERATION of dust. This is typically achieved by applying a sealant or coating that penetrates the concrete surface and forms a protective barrier. The sealant can be a liquid membrane or a chemical solution that fills in the pores of the concrete, preventing dust particles from becoming airborne. Dustproofing concrete is commonly done in industrial settings, warehouses, garages, and other high-traffic areas where dust can be a nuisance or a health hazard.
Joint Repair & Filling
Concrete joint repair and filling involve the process of fixing or filling in joints in concrete surfaces that have become damaged, cracked, or deteriorated over time. This repair work is essential for maintaining the structural integrity and appearance of concrete surfaces. Proper joint repair & filling are crucial for preventing water infiltration, reducing the risk of further deterioration, and maintaining the structural integrity of concrete surfaces over time.
