Increte flooring design in Nigeria has come a long way since it was used to cover pavements and multi-story parking garages.
Increte flooring can now be found in a wide range of properties in Nigeria and has even become a bit of an interior design trend. Concrete is a very versatile flooring option in the construction industry such that infrastructure spending on increte flooring design has been a major driver of this growth as well as private sector investment in both residential and non-residential construction activities.
The conventional floor interlocking design or German floor design and normal wall plastering is fast phasing out and gradually being replaced with the Increte flooring technology. Construction business experts now take advantage of the unique aesthetic of concrete/Increte floor design to give buildings the latest modern look that suites your class and fancy.
The Increte flooring design adds beauty and aesthetics to your hotel, residence, office floors and walls, thereby, making your building stand out from other properties within your vicinity.
Speaking on this development, construction expert and building site developer, Mr. Olufemi Odunayo said Increte designs are modernised pattern of house flooring technology that shapes the outlook of a house.
He noted that, the Increte floor technology is a recent technological innovation in the construction business sector, which is now fast replacing interlocking, German flooring amongst others.
Odunayo however highlighted some of the materials needed for the construction of Increte flooring design.
Color Hardener: Permacolour Colour Hardener consists of a special blend of sand, cement, oxides and additives that have been formulated to produce an easy-to-use product that helps to harden the concrete surface.
This product is suitable for use in textured concrete with permacolour texturing mats and permacolour release agent and is equally effective for flat trowelled concrete surfaces.
Colored concrete produced with Permacolor Color Hardener is the most cost-effective way to colour concrete as you only color what you see, not all the concrete depth you don’t see. The color is stronger, and the concrete surface strength increases as well.
Antique Release Agent is a very fine colored powder which is ormulated for use in concrete texture stamping.
It enhances results by preventing transfer of the wet paste when removing the tools to create beautifully antiquated and impressed concrete surfaces.
Sealer Polished Concrete Sealer SealGreen Polished Concrete Sealer is a siliconate, water-based, penetrating, fast-reactive, odorless, environmentally friendly sealer developed to seal a wide variety of polished concrete efficiently.
Provides long-lasting protection without altering the concrete surface’s natural appearance, or creating a surface film that may become slippery or peel with hot tire pickup.
Troweling – Increte floor materials
Troweling results in a hard, smooth, dense surface and should be done immediately after the float. Troweling can be done by hand or by machine. The finisher must float, trowel and area before pushing his kneeboards, if done by hand.
A Fresno is a steel trowel fixed to the handle of a bull-float. Putting a long handle on the trowel makes it possible for finishers to trowel the concrete without going out onto the dice.
Concrete float bull float
A concrete float is an instrument that is used to finish a concrete floor by making it smooth. A float is used after leveling of the surface using a screed. As well as removing surface imperfections, floating compacts the concrete as preparation for further steps.
Concrete Edger
If pouring a concrete slab or base, you’ll want to use a concrete edger to build smooth and straight edges that will help you finish the cement in a professional look.
With a little practice, within a few minutes you’ll get the hang of using the tool and be able to create professional-looking edges on your concrete slab or base.
Concrete Acid Stain
Concrete Acid Stain is a water-based liquid containing minerals and acids. The acid stain is absorbed through the pores of the concrete, constraining the chemical reaction between the muriatic acid and the lime present on the surface. This permanently changes the appearance of the concrete once the acid has been stained.
Profitability
This is a business that yields multi-million Naira profit after service.
