Beating the Odds for Successful Concrete Flooring Installations

Failure of flooring materials is usually due to a combination of factors rather than a single, simple cause that led to below expectation performance. For example, construction on a less than high quality concrete slab on grade, combined with the absence of a vapor retarder, with residual concrete wear and contamination, followed by inadequate surface preparation, and finally poor coating selection applied during inclement ambient conditions that is turned over early to severe service is a recipe for disaster.

For example, construction on a less than high quality concrete slab on grade, combined with the absence of a vapor retarder, with residual concrete wear and contamination, followed by inadequate surface preparation, and finally poor coating selection applied during inclement ambient conditions that is turned over early to severe service is a recipe for disaster. Any of these (and other) issues can be a simple cause but it is more typically the combination of these marginally unfavorable factors that compound together to produce the failure. This presentation will describe these factors, and how to determine when the odds are not in your favor.
