Concrete floor

Concrete floor

Concrete flooring can either be used as the final flooring layer or be covered with flooring material (e.g., carpet, tiles, etc.). A concrete floor with special treatment and finishing is also an option in modern home interiors. Here, we focus on the most common concrete floors – concrete floors with shrinkage joints. These floors are commonly used for basements, garages, warehouses, patios, and utility areas. Such flooring is durable, long-lasting, and easy to clean and maintain.

Backing the joint

To ensure proper sealant size and shape in the joint and to avoid triple adhesion, a backer rod must be used.

Backer Rod PE 450 – round backer rod with closed cell structure. Highly flexible and compressible for easy installation.

Sealing shrinkage joints in concrete floors

For long-lasting sealing of shrinkage joints, a sealant with high elasticity and modulus must be used. Excellent adhesion to most surfaces and no shrinkage during curing are also advantages to look for.

Increasing the wear resistance of concrete floors, making them dust-repellent and resistant to the effect of chemicals

Concrete is a dusty and porous material that needs special treatment to become dust-free and resistant to the effects of water, oil and chemicals (alkalis and acids).

DustProofer 612 – chemical reinforcement and dust-proofing agent that preserves the breathability of concrete.
