With Silikal You Can Expect More From A Self Leveling Floor.

To Silikal, a self leveling floor is an easy matter to put down, as all those technical people of theirs who do this know their business extremely well. However, for others in the business, not so much. See most companies will wash down the floor, dry it some, and then put on dissolved sulfamic acid, which they put down with a spray bottle, and that’s when they really start to work with a hard brittle scrub brush. The goal of all this is to make available an adequate texture to ensure bond of their product. Once that’s done, then they have to thoroughly hose that off with a high pressure hose. At that time, it’s the right moment to put on a salt removing liquid in order to stop the possible corrosion of the cement. At last the concrete should be tested. Once the floor is thoroughly dried, that’s when they put on the self leveling floor, rolling it out with a special spreader. Once solidification has taken place the concrete may be stained, and finally once it is completely dried and set, that’s when they put on a protective sealant.

Seems like a heck of a lot of time, effort, and worse yet time down for any business that is receiving that self leveling floor, don’t you think? That’s where the Silikal’s self leveling floors are utterly different. You see the Silikal self leveling floors can be put down and work of any type can resume in one hour! That’s it!
