The above instructions are general, and do not take in to account specific situations and other variables such as temperatures and environmental circumstances. Specific product coverage’s can vary depending on a number of different variables. Please contact the tech department if you require additional mixing or application assistance.

Preparing a slab with Radiant heat for the CTi System

Radiant heat flooring is a situation you may encounter if you live in a colder climate.  Radiant heating is the process of embedding tubing in a concrete surface (i.e. interior floors for room heating and exterior slabs to melt snow and ice) and then having hot water or electric heating transmit through this tubing to warm the concrete slab.

 

The challenge posed by radiant heat flooring is that of not harming the tubing during the preparation stages.  Since the floor has tubing running approximately 2” down throughout the floor, you cannot cut the floor for tension relief.

 

Preparation of a radiant heat floor must be mechanical.  Use of acid on a radiant heat slab may cause damage to the tubing.  Crack repair procedures can be utilized by forming a small “V” channel in the slab along the crack line and injecting the Fast Crack 1431.  Once the mechanical preparation and crack repair is done, the installation of the CTI System can proceed as normal.

 

Once the CTI System has been installed, it is recommended that the radiant heat unit not be used for a minimum of 30 days.  This allows the CTI System to cure and so the rapid heating of the concrete caused by the radiant heating doesn’t damage the surface.

Saving Time...AND Your Greatest Asset

CTi has brought on a new product that is designed to save your Dealership on its two most important assets; time and your physical well being.  Presenting The Speed Trowel, this new piece of equipment is designed for use on applying the skim coat in the Hallmark System.  Instead of being on your knees, you're applying the skim coat standing up and saving your back. In addition, the time you'll spend installing the skim coat will be cut in half.  The 22" Speed Trowel is designed to be used with the CTi 112 Spraymark Modifier.  With the nano-technology of the 112, it is no longer necessary to hand trowel the skim coat in order to obtain its adhesion.

Coverage of the Rapid Armor When Using the Reflective Flooring Additive

Coverage for Rapid Armor when Using the Reflective Flooring Additive

When using the Reflective Flooring Additive, the Rapid Armor is normally applied with a thicker millage in order to attain the desired effect.  Due to this, you will need to plan for coverage of roughly 60 to 65 square feet per gallon.  Coverage of the Rapid Armor, when not using the Reflective Flooring Additive is still 80 to 100 square feet per gallon.

CTI's Spraymark Application

The CTi Spraymark System

The CTI Spraymark system is very similar in appearance to the Hallmark system. There are however, a few differences that make the Spraymark system considerably more economical and less labor intensive.

The two main differences between the Hallmark and Spraymark systems is the Spraymark is applied without the application of a skim coat. In other words, the entire job is simply sprayed 100% over the bare prepped concrete, and then highlighted and sealed. In order to eliminate the skim coat a new more advanced modifier was formulated for the Spraymark system . The 112 modifier utilizes nano technology in order to provide better adhesion without the skim coat. The mix ratio’s for the 112 modifer are the same as the regular 110 and 111 modifiers, and they are interchangeable. 112 Modifier can be used for all other CTI applications.

Applications best suited for the Spraymark system are those that require little if any concrete repairs and few serious cracks. Cracks are addressed by simply sponging grout directly into the crack before spraying.

Generally, the Spraymark system does not incorporate any patterns due to the lack of a skim coat. However, patterns can be taped out on the bare concrete prior to spraying. The Spraymark system requires about 1/3 less material and about ½ the labor of the hallmark application and can therefore be sold at a lower price. The Spraymark system offers a 1 year warranty similar to the Designers series. It is a cost effective alternative.
