Pigmented Colour Screed

Pigmented Cement Screed is formulated in a fine texture to give a seamless mottled floor finish. Pigmented Cement Screed adheres to raw cement floor screeds, rendering a smooth or rustic texture depending on the application procedure. The earthy swirled appearance of the Pigmented Cement Screed, enhances floors where a dynamic ambience is sought after, such as homes, offices, game lodges, and entertainment areas. Pigmented Cement Screed is suitable for interior use.

COLOUR RANGE : 41 Colours

PACKAGING: 25kg Powder plus 5 litres Liquid.

RECOMMENDED AREAS FOR USE : Interior surfaces only. The system is suitable for application directly onto correctly prepared concrete and wood floated cement screeds. Pigmented Cement Screed can be applied to tiled floors correctly prepared with the specified primer coats.

IMPORTANT: No guarantees are offered for this system unless an approved applicator is used.

Pigmented Cement Screed is a complex, specialist product that requires application by trained applicators. Please ask your supplier to recommend applicator.

NOT RECOMMENDED: Not suitable for external use, or on shower floors or any wet areas

Polyurethane U-Screed

COMPOSITION: Water dispersed polyurethane resin system combined with graded silica aggregates.

• Suitable alternative to expensive acid resistant tiles

• Low odor during application

Quartz Carpet

Stone carpet, also known as resin-bound gravel or aggregate flooring, is a type of flooring system that combines small stones or aggregates with a clear resin binder. It creates a smooth and durable surface with the appearance of natural stone.

Here are some key features and information about stone carpet:

1. Materials: Stone carpet typically consists of small stones or aggregates such as quartz, marble, or granite, mixed with a clear polyurethane resin binder. The stones can vary in size, ranging from 1-6 millimeters in diameter.

2. Installation: Stone carpet is installed by mixing the stones and resin binder together and then spreading the mixture over a prepared base, such as concrete or asphalt. It is troweled or screeded to achieve a level and uniform surface. The curing time for the resin binder depends on the specific product used.

3. Appearance: Stone carpet provides a natural and decorative look, resembling a pebble or gravel pathway. It is available in a wide range of colors and stone types, allowing for customization to suit different aesthetic preferences and design schemes.

4. Durability: The combination of stones and resin binder creates a durable and hard-wearing surface. Stone carpet is resistant to cracking, UV degradation, and can withstand heavy foot traffic. It is also permeable, allowing water to drain through, which reduces the risk of pooling or puddling.

5. Maintenance: Stone carpet is relatively low-maintenance. Regular sweeping or vacuuming can help remove debris and maintain its appearance. Occasional power washing or gentle cleaning with mild detergents may be necessary to remove stains or dirt buildup.

6. Applications: Stone carpet is commonly used in both indoor and outdoor settings. It is suitable for residential, commercial, and public spaces. Some popular applications include driveways, patios, walkways, pool surrounds, retail spaces, and showrooms.

7. Benefits: Stone carpet offers several advantages. It provides a visually appealing surface, improves the aesthetic value of an area, and can complement various architectural styles. It is also slip-resistant, making it a safe flooring option. Additionally, stone carpet is considered eco-friendly due to its permeability, allowing rainwater to soak into the ground and preventing runoff.

Grinding & Polishing

1. Grinding the Floor

• Purpose: This initial stage is to smooth out rough surfaces, remove imperfections, and expose the aggregate within the concrete. It also prepares the floor for polishing.

• Tools Used: Diamond grinding machines are commonly used, with different grit levels depending on the floor’s current condition. Coarser grits are used for deep grinding, while finer grits are used as you move to a smoother finish.

• Benefits: Removes old coatings, stains, and minor cracks, making the surface more even and reducing the need for repairs.

2. Polishing the Floor

• Purpose: This phase brings out the shine in the concrete and enhances the color, either natural or stained, of the floor.

• Process: Once the floor is ground to the desired smoothness, a densifier can be applied to harden the surface. Then, the floor is polished using progressively finer diamond pads.

• Final Finish Options: Floors can be polished to various finishes, from matte to high gloss, depending on the look desired.

3. Sealing or Protecting the Floor

• After polishing, some floor treatments include applying a sealant for additional protection against stains and moisture, especially in high-traffic areas.

Benefits of Grinding and Polishing Concrete Floors

• Durability: Polished concrete is highly resistant to wear and tear.

• Easy Maintenance: Smooth, sealed surfaces are easier to clean.

• Aesthetic Appeal: The glossy finish can enhance natural light and provide a modern, sophisticated look.

• Cost-Effective: Compared to installing new flooring, this process is often more economical.

Grinding and polishing is popular for retail spaces, warehouses, garages, and residential interiors looking for a low-maintenance, polished aesthetic.
