- Rotting residue underneath tiles and poor drainage can cause liquid to penetrate and cause tiles to lift

Preparation Of Floor
- The floor was uneven and unsuitable in its current condition.
- Expansion joints were cracked and open due to years of wear and tear and liquid penetration.
- Cracking tiles
Preparation Of Floor
- The floor was assessed to find where drummy areas were and what areas needed to be cut out and repaired.
- Tile floor/concrete substrate (in certain areas) needed to be jackhammered up and ground back to the substrate to open up capillaries in the concrete for a stronger bond.
Installation
- The floor was then vacuumed to ensure no dust or dirt remained on the surface
- All low points are filled with an epoxy mortar to ensure a level surface.
- The surface is now clean and contaminant free ready for cementitious polyurethane cement installation.
Application
- Polyurethane cement was applied at the required thickness.
- Aggregate was broadcasted throughout the polyurethane to add a non-slip surface rating between R11-R12
Finishing - Top Coat
- Once the floor had been laid additional prep work was necessary on the tiled coving in order to maximise the bond strength of the top coat.
- Areas that needed repairs were given additional attention and filled with epoxy mortar.
- The floor was painted using an anti-microbial epoxy top coat to seal the floor from liquids and chemical attacks.
