"I would like to thank you for your direction and advice in regard to the removal of pressure sensitive adhesive. The "Supa Sander" attachment you supplied worked a treat & has also proven very successful for many other applications. I recommend this to any other floor layer interested in saving time, money & labour fatigue."

Glen Sinclair

"I am extremely happy with the performance of the "Supa Sander" diamond plate. It has proven to be highly cost effective on countless projects. I have used it to level out concrete floors before laying vinyl planks & for removing acrylic adhesives from concrete slabs. A very handy tool that saves time & money."

"Thank you Andrew and Sam for your prompt service. I recieved the diamond wheels and plugs today at lunchtime, not even 48 hours after ordering them. We can't even get things down from Perth that quickly! So thanks again for your advice and service."

Dave Taylor

"I have been a floor layer for 33 years and have just purchased a "Supa Sander".

It has become the most valuable tool to me for light to medium preparation work. It makes my work a lot easier and I will never go back to using sanding discs."

Install and complete 200m2 of vinyl four days after concrete pour

DENSI-PROOF MOISTURE-FIX COMES UP “TRUMPS”

Joe Dovile, Director of TRUMP Floorcoverings (one of Australia’s leading National flooring contractors) had to install and complete 200m2 of vinyl for Priceline Pharmacy Oakleigh (Vic) within 4 days, on concrete that had just been poured, with a moisture content of 8% and 95% Relative Humidity. TRUMP have been large users of Protect Crete products for many years, involving tens of thousands m2 of successful installations without any failure and approached the Protect Crete team for advice and suggested product and installation procedure to allow this fast track process to proceed with minimum risk to the client.

Protect Crete’s Terry Lucas says although we don’t normally recommend this short lead time, not so much for the failure of our product to moisture proof the concrete, but there are other issues involved such as low surface hardness etc of the concrete at this age, which can cause surface shear at the floor covering and concrete interface if subjected to early and premature point loading.

The concrete was spray applied with Densi-Proof as soon as it was hard enough to walk on, which achieves a chemical conversion deep in the concrete matrix, which allows for floor prep (in this case Ardex Feather Finish) to be installed and perform correctly the following day with Vinyl installation proceeding that same day. “The proofs in the pudding” Terry and Joe inspect the floor after more than 13 months down the track and the floor is in perfect condition which is also a credit to TRUMPs installers Vito and Jason Dovile.

Joe and the client are delighted with the result, however, Terry says we pushed the envelope to the limit in all the various facets involved and suggests very strongly that this time period shouldn’t be taken as the norm and Protect Crete should be contacted for further information on these types of time critical situations.
