What is hard concrete - and what is UHPC hard concrete flooring systems

Flooring systems

Hard concrete


Hard concrete is generally described by its manufacturers as a cementitious, highly durable and wear-resistant floor covering. It is laid in a bond to the substructure. An average layer thickness of 25 mm can be given.
The wear resistance has its limits where the floor is no longer grindable. In many countries, grinding of floor coverings is standard practice.

The characteristics of hard concrete are
- Highly resilient
- Scratch and wear resistant
- Liquid-tight
- Indestructible floor covering
- Design and showroom flooring

Areas of application
- Warehouses used by vehicles with rubber tyres
- Access ramps used by rubber-tyred vehicles
- Exhibition and show room flooring





 

 

UHPC hard concrete


UHPC high performance concrete or as we call it UHPC TopLayer is a mixture of special UHPC binder systems and ceramic aggregates. The average layer thickness can be specified as 15 - 50 mm. As UHPC TopLayer is designed to withstand the highest loads, it is almost impossible to grind the surface. UHPC TopLayer can be processed in the same way as hard concrete.



The characteristics of hard concrete are
- Extremely resilient
- Very high wear resistance
- Water and frost resistant
- Very high corrosion resistance
- Very high compressive and flexural strength
- Extremely temperature resistant


Areas of application
- Warehouses used by heavy vehicles and tracked vehicles
- Roads and storage yards for heavy load storage

- Flooring for ore mines, steelworks, foundries, cold stores, military areas and parking areas for heavy vehicles
