LATICRETE SUPERCAP System Exceeded Specifications

The LATICRETE SUPERCAP System was chosen by flooring contractor Division 9 for Microsoft buildings 97 & 96. Our challenges included correcting a substrate rainout issue, providing moisture mitigation with Aquafin SG3 and encapsulating the SG3 with LATICRETE SUPERCAP.

We were also asked to achieve a floor flatness requirement of 50. No Problem! The area consisted of 21,000 square feet of moisture-sensitive computer server rooms, which were scheduled to receive Armstrong static-dissipative tile. The Aquafin reduced the MVER to below 1-lb, and we exceeded the floor flatness requirements.

Once again, the LATICRETE SUPERCAP System exceeded specifications and completed the installation four days earlier than if using competing technologies.

Project Snapshot: Shady Grove Hospital, MD

As Shady Grove Hospital prepared to perform major renovations to a new wing of its medical center, a severe deflection in the underlying concrete slab was noticed. FF numbers were critical since a large part of the renovation was a neonatal unit and the specifications were extremely tight.

East Coast Poured Floors, Inc. was called in to survey and ensure that the day-to-day functions of the hospital would not be interrupted during installation. Utilizing the LATICRETE® SUPERCAP® System, nothing but a hose and five men entered the building throughout that entire time.

East Coast poured an average depth of 2.25 inches to fill this deflection and hit the specification with LATICRETE SUPERCAP FAST, without interrupting any hospital functions whatsoever.
