Step 1: The perfect eurocrete canditate
The perfect eurocrete candidate is typically spalling and or cracking; more simply, it is starting to deteriorate. eurocrete candidates are not limited to floors, nor concrete; and can include walls and ceilings, decks, roof tops, I-beams, bridge decks, and the list goes on.
Preparation of a surface area or structure starts with removing any loose or ineffective bits and giving the old floor one last scrub down to remove any grease, grime, or otherwise inhibiting chemicals.
Step 2: Mixing
As indicated in our product description page, product preparation requires mixing of two parts, powders and liquids. On all but the very smallest jobs, a mixing station is set-up where a machine mixer is operated by one of our skilled professionals. Mixing stations can be set up anywhere, although as close to the project as possible is preferred, and produce a minimal amount of dust.
Step 3: Laying eurocrete with our Skree-Box
Laying eurocrete-HF flooring with the use of our Skree-Box insures consistent depth in a much quicker fashion. With the use of both the Skree-Box and later the Power-trowel, hand-trowelling can be kept to a minimum.
Step 4: Hand Trowel
Hand trowelling is used to fill in and smooth over minor gaps the Skree-Box leaves behind, along drains, and later when applying a cove detail.
Step 5: Power-Trowelling
The Power-Trowel contributes to that extra element of quality that we guarantee in all our work. Power-Trowelling eliminates any slight imperfections in the leveling of the floor that may result in pooling later on; especially in floors that require sloping towards a drain.
Step 6: Broadcasting Grit
Broadcasting grit onto our smooth eurocrete floor is what adds the anit-slip characteristic. While not necessary for all eurocrete applications, the demand in the industrial processing industry made broadcasting grit and anti-slip floors a popular choice.
Step 7: Coving (optional)
Coving is an optional addition that helps to seal the wall to the floor. However, under CFIA regulations, it is required that a 45-degree triangular detail is applied along the perimeter of the floor.
