Case Studies
Ancaster Seniors Achievement Centre VCT Flooring Installation
Installer: Adlers Main Tile & Carpet Co., LTD
Contractor: STM Construction
Architect: Their + Curran Architects Inc.
The Challenge
- Tight Budget
- Urgent, tight weekend turn around schedule
The Situation
Renovations were underway at the Anacaster Seniors Achievement Centre. Crews installing VCT and rubber flooring could only install over the weekend. With over 12,000 sq. ft. to cover, a rapid-setting self-leveler was required.The Solution
Adlers Main Tile & Carpet Co., LTD, consulted ARDEX for a cost efficient quick resolution. ARDEX Sales Professional Karl Hanley worked with the ARDEX Technical Department to develop a solution to address the high moisture readings and need for a level and flat floor in only one weekend. It was determined that ARDEX K 60™ ARDITEX latex leveling compound would be installed over ARDEX MC RAPID Moisture Control System. When installing ARDEX K 60 over ARDEX MC RAPID that has not been primed or sand broadcasted, the ARDEX K 60 must be installed within 8 hours of application of ARDEX MC RAPID. Because speed was of the essence to get this job done, this was the perfect solution. Adlers Main Tile & Carpet was impressed with the ease of mixing, pouring and placing ARDEX K 60 and has confidence in the, reliability of ARDEX products. The VCT and rubber flooring installers were impressed by how smooth and flat ARDEX K 60 prepared for the final installation.
