Last week we met with a homeowner worried about mold and mildew affecting the flooring on their patio. The patio had an outdoor carpet installed, which continually got wet during rainstorms.
I showed them the color selection and explained the benefits of the product. Being a non-porous product that is bonded directly to the concrete, it is impossible for moisture to penetrate the surface. When I explained this, along with the stain, durability and slip resistant properties of the product, they became our most recent clients!
We arrived at 9:30 am on Friday, July 17, 2009. After ripping up the carpet, we had a floor that looked like this:
We got down to business grinding the floor to open up the pores of the concrete. FastFloor penetrates these pores, creating a bond that epoxy could never match
!
Here is the result of the grinding, a beautifully prepared
subfloor!
There was a settling crack visible after we ground off the carpet glue. We treated this with the Rhino Crack Fill Extreme. From a liquid with consistency of milk to a grindable solid in just under ten minutes!
The homeowner also wanted their brick step done, so we used the crack fill to level out the mortar joints.
After this was all done, the terra cotta colored base coat was rolled on and we broadcast in Mojave colored paint chips.
Two hours later, I checked to make sure we had proper coverage, bonding and curing. Sure enough, it was read to go!
So we put on the top coat, giving a nice glossy, durable surface any homeowner would be proud of!
Sorry for the difference in picture color, but that's what happens when one picture is taken with you back to the sun, and the other facing it! The homeowner is thrilled with their new floor, and we were happy to help beautify their home.
