Wear on concrete floors is mainly caused by the use of machinery and the movement of goods.
If the affected areas do not receive immediate attention, the problems are likely to spread throughout the flooring and affect the entire facility.
This is a particularly sensitive issue in operations involving high-level storage, as the risk of accidents increases.
For this reason, deteriorated patches must always be repaired using non-shrink mortars, which provide extreme rigidity once dry.
Patch deterioration
A cracked hole in a floor is usually repaired by patching it with quick-drying mortar. This is a common repair method for industrial floors.
These patches in the flooring represent areas or spaces where the original material was damaged. Deterioration is related to the service life of the flooring, so it is vital to keep it in the best possible condition.
In the industrial sector, where floor slabs are designed for specific conditions and uses, patches require different attention. They must be prepared and sealed to prevent further damage in the same area.
Causes of deterioration
Deteriorated patches result from a defect caused by a combination of numerous factors. Generally, these can be traced to the following causes:
- Poor workmanship in a previous repair.
- Inappropriate use of the facilities.
- Insufficient or incorrect joint planning.
- Damage spreading to adjacent areas.
- Impacts on the floor caused by an accident.
Dust problems associated with deteriorated patches
When the affected area begins to deteriorate, it becomes a source of dust and a place where dirt accumulates. Dust problems affect the appearance of the floor surface and significantly hinder cleaning and maintenance.
The dust generated as the floor crumbles is not only a nuisance during daily tasks but is also harmful to health.
How patches are repaired
The repair of deteriorated patches varies depending on the severity of the damage and the method used.
Whatever the severity of the damage, repairing deteriorated patches focuses on removing the affected material until its inner layer is exposed.
The affected area is then filled and sealed with an anti-refractory mortar, 100% adaptable to the needs of the flooring.
