SCREEDCRETE - INTERIOR
TRADITIONAL INSITU POLISHED TERRAZZO, FOR INTERNAL FLOORS
Introduction
We are able to offer our specially formulated, polished “Screedcrete” mixture in several exciting colours, for application to fabricate beautiful seamless and hard wearing floors. Screedcrete is supplied premixed and packed in 40kg bags.
In brief:
Our new polished “Screedcrete” mix designs are offered in a diverse colour range, encompassing 12 standard colours. (Special colours can be made to order). The thickness of application ranges from a minimum of 16mm, 19/25mm or up to 30mm in thickness. The preparation involves firmly screwing right angled aluminium or brass angle with a height of 16/19/25/30mm to a hard 6 weeks cured, sightly rough concrete base, in 1m x 1m or maximum 1.2m x 1.2m square panels. These need to coincide directly above any substrate saw cut joints and should be placed around any columns in a diamond shape. Once the aluminium strips are firmly screwed to the floor at ± 600mm intervals, the panels are filled using our Screedcrete and trowelled level to the top of the aluminium or brass strip. The area must then be allowed to cure by covering it with plastic and keeping it wet for 4-5 days. On about the 3rd or 4th day, polishing takes place, using a range of floor grinding abrasive pads attached to a Terrazzo or marble floor grinder. (All grinding pads and machines available from Union Tiles).
“Sample Panel.”
A small sample panel must be undertaken of the new batch supplied and is to be placed, cured, ground, and polished and sealed, for the client’s approval! This sample must be done before all the mixture is placed using the product batch ordered and supplied. The supplied batch may differ from the original sample, due to natural raw material variations and batch differences which are to be expected. Hence the necessity for the client’s approval, before proceeding!
DIFFERENT COLOURS CAN BE USED WITH IN THE DIVING ALUMINIUM SECTIONS
