Ensuring a Smooth Surface for Coating
Before applying a floor coating to a concrete surface, it's essential to repair any defects, such as cracks, divots, or trenches. In this project, TREFLITE™ epoxy mortar is used to fill a trench area in the concrete, creating a level surface for the subsequent coating. This process ensures that the floor is smooth and free of imperfections, which would otherwise become more noticeable once the coating is applied.
Step-by-Step Guide to Concrete Floor Repair
- Assess the Floor
Examine the entire floor area for cracks, holes, or trenches. These imperfections must be addressed before any coating is applied. - Choose the Right Product
TREFLITE™ epoxy mortar is chosen for its ability to fill in trench areas and other imperfections. This epoxy is applied thickly and quickly, providing a solid base for the next steps. - Apply the Epoxy Mortar
Apply the TREFLITE™ mortar evenly over the damaged areas, ensuring it is level with the surrounding concrete. The mortar should be applied thick enough to fill all gaps and create a smooth, even surface. - Wait for the Mortar to Cure
Depending on the type of epoxy used, curing time can vary. TREFLITE™ offers rapid set options, allowing for faster completion of the repair and enabling the floor coating to be applied soon after.
