Fordson Concrete Uses Spex•Crete™ 70 Lightweight Floor Leveler for Apartment Restoration

Spex•Crete™ Commercial Underlayments Supplies Fordson Concrete its Lightweight Self Leveler for Apartment Restoration Project in Cleveland, OH.

WESTLAKE, OHIO, UNITED STATES, March 23, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Spex•Crete™ Commercial Underlayments announced that it provided its Spex•Crete™ 70 Lightweight Self-Leveling Underlayment and its Water Based Bonding Agent to Fordson Concrete for an apartment restoration project. The apartment had received some damage and needed to be brought up about 3/4". The project had a quick-turn around window and needed a lightweight self leveler, so the Fordson Concrete team called Spex•Crete™ Commercial Underlayments for the Spex•Crete™ 70 Lightweight Self-Leveling Underlayment ideal for restoration projects.

After preparing the floor, the Fordson Team applied the Spex•Crete™ Water Based Bonding Agent to the plywood substrate. The Spex•Crete™ Water Based Bonding Agent is VOC compliant, comes ready to use without site dilution required, and allows overlays to be applied as soon as dry to the touch (~1 hour) or delayed for up to 7 days to account for any jobsite delays. The Fordson Concrete team was prepared for the project and had everything staged and ready to go once the primer was dry to the touch.

The Forson Concrete team barrel mixed the Spex•Crete™ 70, a super lightweight self leveler that only adds ~4.5 pounds deadload per square foot at 3/4" depth. Even though it is super lightweight, it boasts an impressive 4,000 psi compressive strength! It is also shrinkage compensated, which makes it an ideal lightweight self leveling underlayment for floor restoration projects.

Once the Spex•Crete™ 70 was mixed, the Fordson Concrete Team used a gauge rake to ensure the proper depth of 3/4" was achieved. The coverage was spot on thanks to the precise measurements taken by Doug Ford when he was bidding the job and the yield of the Spex•Crete™ 70. The project was completed efficiently without any challenges.

The lightweight factor of the Spex•Crete™ 70 made it an ideal choice for this particular project because it was advantageous from an architectural/engineering deadload perspective. The Spex•Crete™ 70 is about 30% lighter than traditional gypsum levelers and it still provides an impressive 4,000 psi compressive strength with a smooth level finish. It is an easy to use leveler with quick and easy cleanup. Using Spex•Crete™ lightweight flooring solution products, the installation crew at Fordson Concrete completed this apartment restoration project in Cleveland professionally and efficiently from start to finish.
