INSTALLATION

The installation of DUROSTONE 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 pre-polished to ensure that DUROSTONE hardener should be spread evenly onto the surface in two to three layers. The spreading process can be carried out by either a manual spreading cart or by a shovel.

USING A SPREADER MACHINE (DRY–TO–WET)

After levelling the surface with a Laser Screed, DUROSTONE should be spread directly on to the fresh concrete in one or two layers.

SLURRY APPLICATION (WET–TO–WET)

For slurry application, only DUROSTONE PLUS version can be used. DUROSTONE 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
Machine spreading: 4-8 kg/m2    2-4mm
Slurry application: 10-14 kg/m2    5-7mm

DUROSTONE FLOOR FINISHING PROCESS

This part of the DUROSTONE  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 CARE

DUROSTONE 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.

JOINTS

To make saw cuts, we suggest to use DUROCUT blades. Until a final close of saw cuts, DUROPLAST PVC joint profi le strips will protect the edges of saw cuts. DUROFLEX PU joint sealant and DUROFOAM rolls are for permanent joint filling.

FIRST TIME USE AND MAINTENANCE

Before the use of the new floor can begin, the following drying periods and precautions must be obeyed:
Pedestrian traffic: 2 days.
Light traffic: 7 days.
Intended normal traffic: 28 days.
For cleaning purposes, use only Ph neutral detergents. (Please, refer to our Maintenance guide.) In case of colored floors maintenance is very important. We suggest to treat the fl oor with LIQUIDUR product. When polished, it gives a permanently shiny surface.

PACKAGING

In bags of 25 kg on 1200 kg capacity pallets.

STORAGE

The shelf life of DUROSTONE is 12 months, when stored in dry and non-frost, cool conditions.

Warning!
This product description is based on laboratory tests and on the results of our own experiences. Material consumption and installation process can be influenced by additional circumstances of the application process as well. The contractor responsible for the application should verify our prepositions by a preliminary test and ensure that the conditions of the installation are ideal. We do not take any responsibility for any damage caused by defective installation. For security measures, please ask us for the product safety data sheet.
