Concrete floors with hardened top layer

Repair of industrial concrete floors in the warehouse

Concrete floors with a hardened top layer are characterized by increased wear resistance, resistance to mechanical stress and long service life. The addition of hardening compounds makes the surface less susceptible to dust, cracks and abrasion, which makes these floors an optimal solution for industrial and storage facilities

Features of concrete floors with reinforced top layer

Concrete floors with a hardened top layer are used in high load areas such as warehouses, workshops, parking lots and commercial areas. This solution combines the strength of the concrete with the protective properties of the hardening layer.

Key benefits:

high wear and impact resistance
dust-free and easy to clean
resistant to moisture, oils and aggressive chemicals
protection against cracking and abrasion
possibility of localized repair without dismantling the coating

Concrete flooring with hardened top coat involves pouring concrete and then rubbing the dry mix (topping) over the fresh substrate. This provides a dense, smooth and durable surface designed to withstand harsh conditions.

We perform a full cycle of works: from preparation of the base to commissioning of the floor - taking into account the actual loads and specifics of the object.

Input data for the CP

We require the following information to prepare a quotation for hardened concrete floors:

Photos and videos of the area of the work being done;
Information on the current floor covering in the work area and the need to remove it;
Approximate area of work;
Facility Address.

This data will help us provide you with the most accurate and efficient estimate of the cost and timing of the work.
