Beating the Odds for Successful Concrete Flooring Installations

Beating the Odds for Successful Concrete Flooring Installations
Available for download

Failure of flooring materials is usually due to a combination of factors rather than a single, simple cause that led to below expectation performance. For example, construction on a less than high quality concrete slab on grade, combined with the absence of a vapor retarder, with residual concrete wear and contamination, followed by inadequate surface preparation, and finally poor coating selection applied during inclement ambient conditions that is turned over early to severe service is a recipe for disaster.

For example, construction on a less than high quality concrete slab on grade, combined with the absence of a vapor retarder, with residual concrete wear and contamination, followed by inadequate surface preparation, and finally poor coating selection applied during inclement ambient conditions that is turned over early to severe service is a recipe for disaster. Any of these (and other) issues can be a simple cause but it is more typically the combination of these marginally unfavorable factors that compound together to produce the failure. This presentation will describe these factors, and how to determine when the odds are not in your favor.

Coatings and Concrete: Understanding the Substrate

Product Number: 41215-919-SG
Author: Brian O’Farrell

$20.00

Before coating concrete, you must first know what the substrate is that you are working on. Since all concrete floors are not the same there is no one, size fits all system. In fact, many buildings will have several different types of concrete floors. Add to that the different mix designs, placement techniques and environmental conditions and you end up with a menagerie of concrete floors exhibiting a wide variety of properties.

Concrete Maintenance

Product Number: 41212-677-SG
Author: Fred Goodwin, Frank Apicella
Publication Date: 2012
$20.00

Concrete is one of the most durable construction materials available, but all too frequently we ignore its maintenance. Many of the techniques called "coating", "protection", and corrosion mitigation are, maintenance of concrete. The life span of concrete structures can be significantly extended by pro-actively addressing deterioration and durability issues through keeping water and other deleterious materials out of concrete after it has properly cured
