Key Facts

With the THERMOPAL floor renovation system, the laborious treatment of individual cracks can be omitted and the load bearing capacity of old floors can be re-established. It additionally contributes towards the stabilization of the substrate.

 

Areas of application

  • Wearing surface in living areas
  • Garages & workshops
  • Industrial floors
  • Interiors and exteriors
  • For building component transitions
  • For substrate preparation prior to subsequent wearing layers and floor finishes

System advantages

  • Time saving renovation
  • Low build-up depth
  • Substrate stabilizing
  • Waterproofs against penetrating moisture
  • Crack-bridging

1 Substrate preperation

  1. Remove poorly bonded components via diamond grinding or shot blasting. Vacuum the substrate to produce a dust-free surface.
  2. Firstly place the self-adhesive insulating edging strip RD-SK50 at wall/floor junctions and at building components rising through the floor. Where the wall/floor junction is missing, firstly produce the waterproofing layer.

2 Rolling out and laying

  1. Cut ASO-RSG to the required length. Lay the reinforcing membrane onto the prepared substrate with the printed side uppermost. Keep a distance of ca. 3 cm from building components rising through the floor.
  2. Overlap membrane edges by at least ca. 20 mm.

3 Coating and bedding in

  1. Coat the area with ASODUR-SG3-thix. The coating can be evenly applied using a rubber squeegee and nylon roller. Subsequently back-roll the area and even out.
  2. Evenly broadcast the freshly applied coat of ASODUR-SG3-thix to excess with kiln dried 0.5 – 1.0 mm quartz sand.

4 Installation of the wearing layer

  1. Thoroughly remove the excess quartz sand after ca. 12 hours by sweeping and vacuuming. Subsequently overcoat the areas with the mineral-based industrial flooring ASOCRET-HFF.
  2. Immediately after laying, de-aerate the fresh levelling compound with a spiked roller. For additional surface protection, we recommend overcoating the cured surface with ASODUR-V360W in the desired colour.
