Flowing concrete floors
Looking for a power floated floor? Flowing concrete gives you the flat finish without the power floating. It saves a considerable amount of time on site, and the floor is ready for carpet, tiles and other coverings.
Flat, without the float
Flowing concrete is placed and finished flat without compacting or power floating. At a renovated farmhouse in Ruddington we laid 104 m² of Agilia Horizontal flowing concrete to take carpet and tiled floor coverings, and it needed no power floating at all. The shine on a newly finished floor is the curing agent, applied immediately after finishing — and the one we use does not need removing before floor coverings are bonded to it.
Where it suits
- Extensions, conversions and renovations
- Floors going under carpet, tiles or other coverings
- Jobs where days of power floating would hold up the programme
- Awkward areas that are hard to reach with a float
Questions we get asked
Is it the same as a power floated floor?
It does the same job — a flat finish ready for floor coverings — without the power floating, which saves a considerable amount of time on site. If your specification calls for power floating, send it and we will talk you through the alternative.
Why is the surface shiny?
That is the curing agent, applied immediately after finishing. The one we use does not need removing before floor coverings are bonded to it.
Can carpet and tiles go straight on it?
That is what it is laid for. At Ruddington the flowing concrete was finished flat to take carpet and tiled floor coverings.
