Ardex Americas has introduced the Ardiflo System, which proactively addresses concrete construction issues through a specified finishing method for new concrete — including an integrated system of moisture control and self-leveling underlayment products.
In new construction applications, the Ardiflo System saves time and labor costs by eliminating the traditional steel-trowel step in the finishing process. Using this system, the contractor will only place, consolidate, strike off and refloat or restraighten the surface. These steps would be followed with a layer of self-leveling underlayment. In some cases, the system can be installed using a special epoxy primer designed to replace a curing compound, mitigating any future risks resulting from moisture emissions.
The resulting finish delivers a concrete substrate capable of meeting the most demanding flatness and leveling tolerances, eliminating unplanned leveling and delays.
The Ardex Ardiflo System offers equipment ranging from traditional mixing barrels to standard, medium and high-capacity pumping systems. Each system is uniquely designed to match capabilities with the project parameters. Additionally, each system is available for rent or purchase with a broad range of training and support options.
