Setcrete,
the leading manufacturer of high-performance floor preparation products, has
launched Setcrete Exterior, an advanced, water-mix floor levelling compound for
outdoor areas such as balconies, patios, garages and walkways.
When set
and cured, Setcrete Exterior is unaffected by rain or frost.
Used to
smooth and level rough, worn or mechanically-damaged concrete or sand/cement
screeds, Setcrete
Exterior is particularly suited for preparing surfaces prior to the
installation of artificial grass, creating a smooth base for the installation
of resin pathways, and over patio areas before laying porcelain tiles;
currently popular for creating a continuous ‘outside-inside’ flooring solution
for areas connected by bi-fold or sliding doors. It can also be left uncovered
and used as an exterior standalone wearing surface.
Due to its
moisture tolerant properties, Setcrete Exterior can be used internally over
damp, uneven concrete and sand/cement screeds prior to the application of
Setcrete Rapid Set DPM.
It is
suitable for use in light to medium duty applications and is ‘walk on hard’
from two hours after application. Setcrete Exterior is supplied in 20 kg paper
lined sacks.
Commenting
on the product, Setcrete Brand Manager Peter Wilson said: “Setcrete Exterior is
perfect for achieving a smooth, level subfloor surface to optimise the
aesthetic appearance of a final floor finish, which is especially important for
decorative coverings, and for added safety by ensuring the external subfloor is
uniformly flat.
"Importantly,
its weather-resistance and high strength characteristics enable it to deliver
long-term performance in unforgiving and changeable exterior
environments."
