I am a developer trying to feed information to my
subdivision's builder. I'm trying to convince this
production builder that using
concrete as an interior finish material doesn't have to
be a problem. The builder is having trouble with the
product being used on
the interior floors, which are concrete colored with
Davis pigments.These slabs were poured on top of at
least 6 inches of
packed stone with poly sheeting just under the slab as
a moisture barrier. He is using Gulfcoast MCU 101,
which is
delaminating on heel strikes, etc. Another area builder
recommends Buckeye's Cirene. We're trying to stay away
from
VOC-containing products. I'm looking for advice on
acrylic co-polymer type products like Cirene (16%
solids) vs. an epoxy
clear sealer vs. a penetrating sealer topped with a wax
or polish. Any help is appreciated in explaining the
benefits of each type
of sealing system.
Thanks,
Zann
