When it comes to flooring in wet areas a major consideration for aged care facilities is eliminating slip and trip hazards. The subfloor preparation in such applications has the following additional requirements:-
* Firstly a moisture membrane must be installed, one that is compatible with vinyl coverings.
* Secondly the smoothing compounds need to capable of creating ramps and applied down to a feather edge, thereby minimising step downs from showers to adjoining areas.
ARDEX have a number of systems using a range of rapid hardening and rapid drying cements, waterproof coatings and smoothing compounds. These systems provide a smooth flat porous finish for the installation of vinyl coverings. In addition, they are quick to install with the total process allowing vinyl to be installed in less than 2 days.
