Renovating Worn Concrete Floors with decoCONTOP
Replacing an old concrete floor is often expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive. Fortunately, if the existing concrete is still structurally sound, resurfacing with a high-performance cementitious topping is a much faster and more economical solution.
decoCONTOP is a premium, one-component, low-shrinkage cementitious resurfacing mortar designed to restore worn or damaged concrete floors. It can be applied from feather edge up to 10 mm (1 cm) in a single application. For thicker toppings, well-graded aggregates can be incorporated into the mix to reduce material consumption while maintaining excellent performance.
Proper Surface Preparation
The durability of any bonded topping depends on the preparation of the existing concrete.
Before applying decoCONTOP:
- Remove all loose or weak concrete and contaminants.
- Bring the substrate to a Saturated Surface Dry (SSD) condition. The concrete should be fully saturated, but no ponding or standing water should remain on the surface.
- Apply a bonding primer consisting of decoBOND mixed with cement.
- Install decoCONTOP while the primer is still tacky to achieve maximum bond strength.
Proper surface preparation is essential for obtaining a durable, long-lasting bond between the existing concrete and the new topping.
Easy Application
Despite its low water-to-cement ratio, decoCONTOP offers excellent flowability and workability. The mortar spreads easily with a hand trowel, allowing contractors to produce a dense, smooth, and flat surface with minimal effort.
Its low-shrinkage formulation minimizes the risk of cracking while providing a durable and attractive finish.
Fast Return to Service
One of the major advantages of decoCONTOP is its rapid strength development.
- Walkable after approximately 4 hours
- Ready for polishing after just 2 days
This significantly reduces downtime, making it an excellent choice for commercial, industrial, and residential renovation projects.
The Ideal Concrete Resurfacing Solution
Whether renovating warehouse floors, factories, retail spaces, garages, or residential concrete slabs, decoCONTOP provides an efficient way to give old concrete a completely new life.
Instead of demolishing and replacing an existing floor, contractors can restore the surface with a durable, low-shrinkage cementitious topping that is easy to apply, develops strength rapidly, and creates a smooth, high-quality finish.
decoCONTOP is the perfect solution for fast, durable, and economical concrete floor renovation and resurfacing.
