SWANLEY SHOPPING CENTRE

When the storage area on first floor at the shopping centre required a new floor topping, the client called in the specialist flooring division of Cemplas Waterproofing and Concrete Repairs Ltd to provide in excess of 300m2 of a new floor surface.

Due to time constraints with the client wanting the store room operational in as short a time as possible, Cemplas decided on using Ronascreed Self Smoothing Topping from Ronacrete Ltd as this could be pumped direct to the store room, and would take early foot traffic.

Prior to installation a ‘Vonarx’ planning machine was use to provide a clean keyed surface which was followed by sealing and priming the floor. Once the floor was prepared and primed floor, datums and levels were taken, and Ronascreed Self Smoothing Topping was pumped in one operation. Self smoothing pumpable screeds and toppings are supplied as a free flowing cement based dry powder which requires a known quantity of clean water to produce a self-smoothing mix ready to pump or pour on to a prepared, sealed and primed surface.
