NEW POLISHED CONCRETE FLOORS
The SUPER CONCRETE
SYSTEM
by KLINDEX
The super concrete is a system created and
improved from Klindex that changes a standard concrete floor in a
beautiful, polished and easy-to-clean surface, thanks to its
patented and performing grinding machines and diamond tools
The super concrete
is the surface of the future
The super concrete
is an easy and fast system for concrete surface grinding and
polishing, without the use of wax. Thanks to KLINDEX technical
and development research department, now it is possible to change a
standard concrete floor in a polished, hygienic, damaged-through- use
resistant, easy-to-clean and beautiful surface, like marble or terrazzo.
Factories and firms all over the world use this modern system for any
commercial, industrial and domestic buildings . Due to the high
performance of super concrete, this system of polishing and grinding is
the most preferred system, comparing to the use of wax, resins or paints.
Characteristics and peculiarity of super
concrete system:
- look similar to marble or terrazzo
surface;
- It is up to 8 times more resistant to the damage caused by
usage
- No more sign of elevator lift wheels
- Flat and smooth
surface
- Hygienic job-site
- More economic than traditional
floors
The higher hardness and the easier system, promote the
use of super concrete in warehouses, shops, supermarket, restaurants,
garages, houses, showrooms, wine shops and everywhere you need a durable,
clean and beautiful floor.
The floor becomes hard and strong. This is the
Longest-Lasting Floor Solution Available
There is no comparison with other floor
systems when we talk about the life of a polished concrete floor. It
increases
the strength for old, deteriorating, weak concrete finishes,
with a bigger resistance to abrasion and an increased resistance to
impact.
The Super Concrete System process removes the top part of the
surface of the old concrete floor (including
any patchy, partial, or
whole coatings), and hardens the exposed surface beneath. It converts
porous concrete
into a dense surface
- Highly resistant to
wear.
- Highly resistant to scratches.
- Highly resistant to most
chemical products.
- Long -term lifetime.
Perfect for truck traffic:
- It elimination tire marks caused
by fork trucks, vehicles and industrial hoppers and parts containers.
In other
floor systems, a tire mark is usually there to stay until the
floor is repaired. When a forklift burns out on a coated floor
the
friction caused between its tire and the surface leaves a
mark.
- It decrease overall fork truck tire wear and tear (due to the
smoothness of the floor and the leveled curling
joints). In heavy
industrial facilities, rough and uneven surfaces cause tires to wear out
rather quickly.
Ecologic , environment
friendly
Polished concrete is a LEEDs friendly product. It utilizes the existing concrete surfaces which
avoids the manufacturing and purchasing of additional coverings and
coating materials. Tile, carpet, and linoleum wind up
in landfills when
they are placed. Polished concrete is highly durable, and should a
clean up ever become
necessary, it is completed on the existing slab at
only a fraction of the cost without any significant waste.
- Concrete
is a natural product.
- No odour or migration from chemicals.
- No
solvent that evaporates into air.
- No thickness (as in SLCs) that can
cause Sick Houses .No products that can cause allergies.
- Clean air
:no dust emitted from Super Concrete Floor.
The concrete can breathe that allows water
vapour to evaporate through as there are no coatings that can flake,
peel,
crack or separate and it does not harbour bacteria, mould or
fungi, thank to its high natural PH.
Economic:
It decrease the floor maintenance because
of the less drag on cleaning equipment; making brushes, pads and mops last
longer. Most
floor systems, even ordinary concrete floors, require
aggressive scrubbing in order to maintain a clean environment and
nice
appearance. No more stripping and waxing. With a polished concrete floor
system you don't have to wax or strip
the floor. All
your maintenance labour and material costs for stripping and waxing
can be now eliminated and
added to your bottom line low maintenance
cost
Easy to clean. Just sweep and scrub
Effestive Costs:
Polished concrete is one of the cheapest
existing flooring alternatives. The reduced
costs together with the saved energy, the reduced tire wear, the
maintenance reduction, and especially the long-lasting durability
shows
that polished concrete is a fairly inexpensive, as well as beautiful,
flooring system.
Existing Concrete Floors
- Old coatings must be removed to bare
concrete. And floors must be clean.
- Damages should be repaired.
-
Grind with Metallic Diamond S.
- Stain with BETON STAIN COLOR if you
need to colour the cement floor.
- Impregnation with BETON
HARDNER.
- POLISH with FK Phenolic Diamond.
- SEAL with POLISH
BETON.
- BUFFING with BETON SEALER HS.
New Concrete Floors
- By the addition of coloured aggregates, it
is possible to achieve a very elegant aspect with different
variations.
In addition, you can scatter crushed coloured glass
into the top layer of fresh concrete: the grinding, honing
and
polishing processes will reveal the glass pieces.
- Select
colours and aggregates of concrete.
- Place concrete and let cure for
at least one week before any grinding.
- Grind with Metallic
Diamond.
- Stain with BETON STAIN COLOR. (When staining new concrete it
must normally be cured for at least two
weeks at 20°C. For optimum
results, allow concrete to cure for four weeks).
- Impregnation with
BETON HARDNER.
- POLISHING with FK Phenolic diamonds.
- SEALING with
POLISH BETON.
- BUFFING with BETON SEALER HS.
Comparison with WAX and PAINT COATINGS
Polish or wax coatings are usually used to get
a shiny floor. But the higher the shine, the most it will be
subject to scuff. That
is why they last for a relatively short
period of time. Furthermore heavier coats are more vulnerable to
scratching and
general wear. Therefore such coating must be frequently
stripped before application of new coats.
This is valid for paint
coating based on acrylics, epoxies and urethanes (PU), as these must be
frequently repainted
due to wear. In high traffic areas every 2-5
years.
So even if polish and wax sound cheaper, actually these are
very expensive. Long term, there are no more expensive
form of
floor coatings than polish and wax
