7200 SMOOTHES OVER A ROUGH SITUATION
Duane Reade has decided they are going to get bigger. They have set their sights on six unoccupied stores in a Long Island strip mall. (Amityville, NY) The walls connecting the stores have been torn down, resulting in gaping trenches where they once stood. New concrete was poured to fill those trenches, and has converted six individual substrates into one monstrous concrete slab. Also, each of the six stores had a different type of floor covering on it, resulting in various types of adhesive residue and patching compounds still bound to the substrate. Additionally, there were waves and inconsistencies in the original slab.
So with Vinyl Composition Tile as the floor covering to be applied to say this slab needed to be drastically improved was an understatement. Fortunately, Tom at DCF Inc. had a 55 pound answer to a potentially complex problem in a bag of Drytek 7200 self leveling cement. Tom decided that 3/8 of an inch of the Drytek 7200 would provide the flawless, almost glass like surface needed to apply this particular type of floor covering. Other trades, such as, electricians, plumbers, etc. working in the immediate area were in awe at the flowability, texture, working characteristics and overall appearance of the Drytek 7200. "It looks like you can skate on it, that's how smooth it looks" said one electrician.
