Substrates on all levels of construction are renovated or scrutinized for levelness and quality. Many renovations have previous floor finishes removed and replaced with finishes not compatible with the demolition performed and require some additional remediation. Some substrates placed in operation have received harsh treatment causing aggregate exposure or spalling from weather exposure, chemical attack, and abrasive wear require some remedial attention prior to floor placement. All of these situations can dictate some type of underlayment or topping system that fits a corrective process and economic balance of the renovation available.

Preparation of substrates usually leaves unacceptable profile signature in the concrete substrate for the adhesives and floor finishes. Once the area has been treated for moisture vapor, a cementitious topping is applied from ?” to not over ¼”, depending on the need and severity of the required correction and sensitivity of the floor finish and profile of the substrate. On Track Technologies has also applied the self leveling material to simple level the surface to a finer flatness when moisture protection was not a concern on the project.
