Depending on the application and the builder's wishes, there are different finishes possible with a mortar floor. Below you will find a description of one of the possible finishes with the corresponding properties. On the page with the overview of all mortar flooring systems, you can also compare the properties of the different finishes in a comparison table.
Powerdec Shower
The basis of this mortar floor is coloured quartz stones, a high-quality epoxy binder , a polyaspartic pore filler and a top coat. The 0.4 mm-2.0 mm gravel grains have a UV-resistant PU colour coating. The coating process takes place at a high temperature for optimum wear resistance of the coloured gravel grains. The specific composition of the granules creates a hard, indestructible floor with a modern, industrial look. A mortar/trowel floor looks like a concrete floor, but is stronger, dust-free and aesthetically more beautiful.
This floor consists of 5 layers : primer – waterproofing layer – mortar – wear-resistant and waterproof pore-filler (2x) – topcoat. The minimum floor construction depth of this system is 6 mm. The choice of primer depends on the type of substrate. To make it easy for you, we have added a document in Downloads below so you can easily see for yourself which primer is the most suitable for you.
The epoxy binder used in this system was developed specially for aesthetic applications to keep discolouration to a minimum. In this respect, it is one of the best in the market.
Powerdec Shower makes use of the highest quality pore filler currently available on the market: UV resistant (so no discolouration), very wear-resistant and gives better protection against prolonged water exposure (with a standard pore filler, white spots can appear after long-term water exposure). The polyaspartic screed is very easy to apply and ensures the floor is easy to keep clean using a vacuum cleaner or water cleaner, or by scrubbing with water and soap-free soap.
On top of the best available pore filler, the Powerdec Shower gets an extra top coat: This transparent matte varnish is slightly anti-slip.
