Product application 

Tasked with pouring a robust and hardwearing concrete slab for the expansive 55,000 m² warehouse, CLF rose to the challenge with expertise. The floors were coated with Sikafloor®-3 QuartzTop, a one-part, pre-blended mineral dry shake hardener known for its impact resistance, fast application, and easy cleaning. 

Every joint was meticulously treated with Sika® Primer-3 N and Backing Cord, followed by sealing the joint with Sikaflex® Construction+ sealant, guaranteeing durability and longevity. 

Project challenges

In spite of initial obstacles encountered by the Truworths Distribution Centre, such as base floor misalignment of up to 20 mm, the primary contractor swiftly tackled the issue, facilitating uninterrupted advancement. Utilising sophisticated laser technology for adjustments proved instrumental in correcting the base floor misalignment, showcasing a dedication to precision and excellence.
