Spartacote Fast Fix is a fast-setting, two-component hybrid urethane repair material with an ultra-low viscosity to allow for deep penetration into concrete and compressive strengths of over 4200 psi, according to the company.
Bill Mabeus, vice president of sales for Fishman Flooring Solutions, has been involved in evaluating and preparing thousands of slabs for flooring installations during his more than 30 years in the flooring industry. He recently shared with Floor Trends his unique perspectives on why the proper preparation of surfaces is so important to architects, designers, specifiers, building owners and end users.
Subfloor preparation is one of the most important parts of any installation. As the saying goes: “What’s on top of the floor is only as good as what’s beneath it.”
With the increasing prevalence of floating luxury vinyl floors and larger, thinner ceramic tile, the need for a flat subfloor is becoming that much greater.
Flooring, by its very nature, is one of the last elements of a construction project to be addressed. As a result, budget dollars and time are often both in short supply when the flooring installation process is about to begin.
Mullican Flooring, a leading U.S. hardwood flooring producer, has introduced three new adhesives to the hardwood flooring market – one of which also doubles as a subfloor protection system and carries a lifetime moisture warranty.
