Make sure before hand that the area is structurally sound, especially when the intervention is due on areas which, while operating, may be affected by rising damp phenomena.
Area’s existing conditions will determine the choice of the required treatment between:
In this way dust, dirt, grease, oil, old adhesive or paint, laitance, rust, mildew and other foreign materials will be removed.
For areas of more than 5 - 10 mm, dips and inconsistencies must be filled with GROVE RAPIDO.
Substrate with Existing Cracks Preparation
Before laying DECORLITE possible area pre-existing cracks must be sealed, the treatment to be performed depending on the type of crack.
A crack is considered to be stabilized when it is formed during screed casting and does not cause continuous opening and closing movements.
The treatment is carried out by enlarging the crack with a diamond disc, carefully sucking dust and casting inside, until saturation, NORPHEN FONDO SL, previously thickened with 3-4% by weight of silica.
B. Moving Cracks (Figure 1)
By “moving crack” we mean a crack which tends to constantly open and close with notable amplitude.
The treatment is carried out by inserting 8-10 mm diameter steel rod crop ends inside slits made by a diamond wheel at right angles to the crack, spaced about 50 cm from each other. Slits depth is to be of approximately 2-3 cm and the width shall be suitable for the diameter of the employed rods. After having sucked the dust from the slit, pour NORPHEN FONDO SL thickened with 3% by weight of silica, then insert the rod and cover it with NORPHEN FONDO SL thickened with 5-6% by weight of SILICA.
