TECHNICAL DETAILS
INSTALLATIONThe installation of DUROTOP is carried out simultaneously with the laying of the new concrete surface, which assures the Perfect binding between the concrete and the dry shake hardener. Material consumption highly depends on the color. For further information refer to our Design guide. MANUAL SPREADING (DRY–TO–WET) The fresh, step resistant concrete should be prepolished USING A SPREADER MACHINE (DRY–TO–WET) After levelling the surface with a Laser Screed, DUROTOP should be spread directly on to the fresh concrete in one or two layers. SLURRY APPLICATION (WET–TO–WET) For slurry application, only DUROTOP PLUS version can be used. DUROTOP PLUS should be blended with water on the jobsite (4 liters/sack) and be spread on the step resistant floor after pre-polishing process. MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS Manual spreading: 4-6 kg/m2 2-3mm DUROTOP FLOOR FINISHING PROCESS This part of the DUROTOP installation process is done by either hand trowels and/or by double disc power trowel machines until the surface becomes smooth, hard and shiny. The quality of the floor can only be ensured, if the installation instructions are followed properly. (Please read our detailed Installation guide.) | CURING – AFTER CAREDUROTOP floors need to be protected against quick evaporation that may result in cracking. DUROCURING and DUROSEAL are curing agents that can be used for this purpose. JOINTSTo make saw cuts, we suggest to use DUROCUT blades. Until a final close of saw cuts, DUROPLAST PVC joint profile strips will protect the edges of saw cuts. DUROFLEX PU joint sealant and DUROFOAM rolls are for permanent joint filling. FIRST TIME USE AND MAINTENANCEBefore the use of the new floor can begin, the following drying periods and precautions must be obeyed: PACKAGINGIn bags of 25 kg on 1200 kg capacity pallets. STORAGEThe shelf life of DUROTOP is 12 months, when stored in dry and non-frost, cool conditions. Warning! . |
