Some of the benefits this system has over
conventional floors are: |
|
◊ |
Compressive strength of floor increases by upto
60% resulting in higher structural strength &
therefore durability. |
 |
|
◊
|
Tensile strength increases by @ 70%. |
|
◊
|
Cement consumption is reduced to the extent of
40%, as no cement is required separately for
finishing the surface. |
|
◊
|
Abrasion resistance of the floor increases by @
60% resulting in less wear & tear of the floor
surface. |
|
◊
|
Permeability is reduced as a result of which
liquids falling on the floor have less detrimental
effect on the concrete. |
|
◊
|
Impact strength is increased. |
|
◊
|
Shrinkage of concrete is reduced & the floor warps
less. |
|
◊
|
Numbers of joints are reduced as this method
allows long strip floor as against conventional
checkered method. |
|
◊
|
Floors can be put to use much earlier because of
lesser curing time. |
|
◊
|
Water/cement ratio is reduced by @ 18%. |
