"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."

"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."

"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."

Forest Lodge Nursing Home Success Story

 


Ken Arnott, owner of Kenbar Floors who recently completed approximately 7,000m2 of flooring installation at the Forest Lodge Nursing Home, built by Aged Care Developments, said “I am delighted with the finished job and the way the synergy of all suppliers, concreter, builder and owner helped achieve a cost efficient, fast track, trouble free, safe, very functional and aesthetically stunning result for the client and all concerned. When we started, the initial 3000m2 of concrete had been poured and the building process was at lock up stage. We were confronted with high moisture readings (6.5%) in the concrete, as is common with so many projects these days and flooring contractors are faced with dealing with concrete slabs that the moisture readings are in excess of the 5.5%, 70 RH as recommended by the Australian Standards. These high readings mainly occur because of the fast track lock up building process, which doesn’t allow enough time or air flow movement to sufficiently dry the concrete to meet the required moisture content levels for correct floor covering installation, at no risk of costly failure to the Installer, builder of Client. We opted to use the Protect Crete Moisture-Fix & Densi-Proof products because of the cost efficiency, VOC free, user safe, simple no mixing one coat application and early access benefits, as well as the total performance warranty aspects of the product.

 

We installed Polyflor vinyl in all of the main areas and also used the Polyflor range of floor levelling cement and adhesive range of products as well. Polyflor offer a total warranty covering the whole system from the top of the concrete substrate to and including their vinyl as a guaranteed system including the Protect Crete products. This is excellent for the Installer and client as there isn’t room for any demarcation problems should an issue occur.”

 

After discussions with the Builder and Concreter (Rypcard Concreting) and Terry Lucas from Protect Crete, it was decided to apply Protect Crete Densi-Proof at the time of pour. Terry explained “This allows a superior cure medium, densifier and permanent moisture barrier that allows for coatings and floor coverings to be installed without any moisture issues after 14 days after pouring of concrete. This also saves costs, as there are no preparation costs and virtually eliminates any plastic cracking in the slab. They have proceeded with this process and every one was absolutely delighted with the concrete surface finish and the amount of time and cost savings with this process.

Every one is delighted with the whole project, an excellent on time result.
