West Cumberland Hospital gets the Ardex treatment
Ardex worked with flooring contractors TT Flooring of Workington, who were commissioned to install the floorcoverings for the refurbished West Cumberland Hospital.
As with all hospital environments, the need to install a hard, flat and cost efficient sub-floor was paramount, the specified systems from ARDEX met the brief perfectly.
Proven within a wide variety of buildings, the ARDEX DPM/ARDEX K15 damp proof membrane and levelling system was specified to quickly provide a smooth and level sub-floor, which would enable early installation of floorcoverings capable of withstanding foot and heavy wheel based traffic commonplace within hospitals.
The easy to apply 2 coat damp proof membrane, ARDEX DPM, was applied to the prepared concrete base.
The first coat of ARDEX DPM being red and the second coat green, allowing the user to visually control the thickness and coverage uniformity of each coat.
After curing ARDEX DPM produces a damp proof membrane with high inherent strength and an excellent bond to appropriate substrates, including very damp concrete and screeds.
Following application of ARDEX P 82 primer to the cured ARDEX DPM, the advanced rapid drying self-levelling sub-floor smoothing compound, ARDEX K15 was applied to produce a smooth and level surface ready to receive the floorcovering.
Benefiting from unique ARDEX 'Rapidry Formula' technology, ARDEX K15 rapidly hardened and dried so that it could be walked on after only 2 hours and was ready to receive the final floorcovering within 24 hours.
