The concrete layer must not be less than 5 cm thick; in this case, adhesion points will need to be used.

They will be properly executed in the locations indicated on the plans, on the compacted surface, which must be dry and clean.


Before the start of the work, a general cleaning will be carried out on the floors or structural slabs where the polished concrete will be applied, and the surface will be properly scraped and moistened to prevent the substrate from drawing moisture from the concrete. In addition, perimeter separation joints will be available by placing a compressible element in the perimeter (2 cm thick expanded polystyrene).

Recommendations during the pouring and spreading of concrete:

  • It is necessary to pour the concrete as close to its final position as possible

  • If the pavement has a slope, start pouring concrete from the lower part.

  • Fresh concrete will be poured over the already hardened one to prevent segregation.

  • For thicknesses greater than 15 cm, needle vibrators will be used, in addition to vibrating screeds.

  • The concreting will be carried out in longitudinal strips, 5 meters wide, in order to allow for initial hardening of the completed strip before pouring the next one.
