If topping concrete is placed on the existing slab then it is given rough finish for laying of flooring.
Thin concrete floor topping.
Surecrete s micro topping is a single component thin concrete overlay that is a self bonding cement based for interior concrete surfaces.
The type of finishing required for the topping concrete depends on many factors such as place usage and surface requirement.
Micro topping was designed to yield an exceptionally smooth tight troweled finish that can provide a new blank canvas for decorative concrete floors.
The treated surface can cure in a day and usually can be walked on within 36 to 42 hours of being applied.
Base slab surfaces should be saturated surface dry with no standing water anywhere.
Because micro toppings are so thin they are not self leveling.
It s wise to check the relative humidity of the concrete beforehand.
They also dry very quickly so the final texture is limited to how the micro topping is applied over the concrete floor.
The old surface is prepared so that the new concrete will adhere then the new cement is added.
The topping concrete should be spread compacted screeded and bull floated as for a concrete floor.
It is too thin to use as a flooring just by itself.
There aren t many reasons to have only a 1 inch thick concrete surface.
