FM2 concrete floor treatments FM2 or Floor Measurement is highly recognised for its high tolerance and flatness which used to be considered equivalent to gold in several and industrial applications. At Midas Concrete Floor solutions, we take pride in offering exceptional service on FM2 concrete floor treatments.

Benefits of proper floor finishing Increasing Durability and hardness: Applying FM2 on the ground floor gives proper finishing that boosts the longevity of the floor.

Improves Safety: Smooth and even surfaces can significantly reduce accidental risks and also improves operational efficiency.

Easy maintenance: A floor with quality finish allows individuals to clean and maintain the floor easily.

Aesthetics: A quality finish and well furnished floor improves the overall look of the facility and can be attractive to others.

Levelling and Screeding technique is an effective way of achieving the flatness and levelness in precision levelling. In doing so, Laser guided screed commonly use to precise level the concrete, assuring conformity with FM2 standards.

Concrete Placement Mix design: We at Midas Concrete Floor solutions, use a high quality concrete mix with the proper water content ratio ensuring the workability and strength.

Pouring: It can be defined as the process of controlled placement of concrete to prevent segregation and confirm homogeneity.

Curing In order to achieve smooth flatness, proper curing is vital to confirm that the concrete reaches its maximum strength and durability. In doing so, Moisture Retention is a significant way in which companies apply curing compounds or other employing waterretention techniques. It can be wet curing or covering with plastic sheeting that helps to keep the concrete moist during curing.

Formwork & Reinforcement Formwork: It is precisely installed to define the shape of the slab while maintaining the ideal level and flatness.

Reinforcement: Utilization of steel reinforcement through rebar or mesh helps to strengthen the concrete slab and also avoid the chances of cracks.

Power Floating and Troweling Levelling and Screeding technique is an effective way of achieving the flatness and levelness in precision levelling. In doing so, Laser guided screed commonly use to precise level the concrete, assuring conformity with FM2 standards.

Subgrade preparation Compaction: It helps to ensure the subgrade that is compacted to the appropriate density to support the concrete slab.

Moisture barrier: Installation of vapor barrier able to keep water vapor from permeating the slab that can cause curling and cracking.

Levelling: Applying laser- guided technology helps in precision levelling the subgrade and also helps to create a stable concrete platform.

Joint placement and sealing Joints are required to control cracking, but individual should be careful about planning and implementation.

In doing so, Saw Cutting can be recognised as effective technique that helps to create control joints in the slab at predefined points to prevent shrinkage cracking.
