Duracem

DURACEM CONCRETE DESIGN FLOORS

DURACEM IS A FLEXIBLE AND SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE TO A POWERFLOATED CONCRETE FLOOR. THE BIO-BASED BINDER COMBINED WITH A HIGH AMOUNT OF RECYCLED CONTENT RESEMBLING THE LOOK OF A MONOLITHIC CONCRETE FLOOR WITH RESILIENT PROPERTIES.

Duracem is a strong, flexible seamless comfortable floor covering. Duracem can be used as a seamless decorative floor covering in the education sector, medical sector, offices, museums, but is also suitable for domestic surfaces. In short Duracem is a perfect solution for floors where the owners and users have a high demand on comfort, wear and impact resistance and hygiene. Duracem is a seamless solution from wall to wall. It’s a great alternative to hard concrete look finishes.

It is a great alternative to hard concrete-look finishes.

Duracem has a unique look defined by the recycled material that it contains. Duracem has 12 different concrete looks. It is finished with a matt look. Duracem is highly elastic and shows perfect resistance to signs of use.

Duracryl produces floorcoverings based on natural and renewable materials. This has a major advantage on climate change compared with fossil based products. For accountability of the impact of the carbon footprint of each flooring product we are using the definition of “Healthy Materials Lab at Parsons School of Design” in New York, a leading authority on this subject. “Currently, there is no universal threshold for ‘low embodied carbon’ in flooringmaterials. After discussing this research with experts, we have set a rigorous standard that can meet 2030 emission goals. These products, labeled with ‘LEC’, embody below 5kg of CO2 per square meter” All Duracryl products comply with this standard and are referred to as “Climate Positive Flooring”

composition

Duracem is a biopolymer based flooring recycled material being used. The Duracem has a monolithic concrete look by using recycled material. Duracem has a Declare Red List Free label.

application

Duracem is a tough, flexible seamless comfortable floor covering. Duracem can be used as a seamless decorative floor covering in the education sector, medical sector, offices, museums, but is also suitable for domestic surfaces. In short Duracem is a perfect solution for floors where the owners and users have a high demand on comfort, wear and impact resistance and hygiene. Duracem is a seamless solution from wall to wall. It’s a great alternative to hard concrete look finishes.

appearance

Duracem has an unique look which is being determined by the recycled material inside. The Duracem has 12 different concrete looks. It is finished with a matt look. Duracem is tough-elastic and shows a perfect resistance to the signs of use. After cure through Duracem is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, acids, leys, resins, solvents and foodstuff. Duracem is seamless and liquid tight. The majority of the ingredients in Duracem are renewable resources. Duracem is free of plasticizers. Duracem is easy maintainable.

cure through

Duracem is walkable 24 hours after the installation.The complete chemical and mechanical properties will be achieved after 7 days of curing at a minimum temperature of 15°C.

maintenance

Regular removal of dust and if necessary wet cleaning with a neutral cleaning agent. For further instructions see the maintenance instruction guide.

installation

The concrete or screed subfloor has to be primed and levelled with a self levelling smoothing compound to obtain a flat and levelled surface. Uneven surfaces have to be leveled by e.g. diamond grinding prior to the levelling compound. All dust and loose parts have to be fully removed from all surfaces before the product is applied, preferably using a brush and/or industrial vacuum cleaner. Prior to the installation of the Duracem a suitable primer needs to be applied. During the installation the room temperature needs to be at least 62 °F (15,5°C). The floor temperature need to be at least 59 °F (15°C) and minimum 3 °F (3 °C) above the dew point.
