CONCRETE CURING & Moisture Mitigation prior to Resilient Floorcoverings
MARKHAM provide a end-to-end Design, Supply & Install with Performance Warranty.
FLOOR-TECT® SYSTEM complies to AS1884:2021
This system provides both curing for concrete & controlling "moisture in concrete" under resilient flooring
The FLOOR-TECT® SYSTEM is a two step system of internal moisture control plus a surface primer. This system combines AQURON 2000 and FLOOREVERDRI primer to provide a fully AS1884:2021 compliant system where required.
After FLOOREVERDRI Primer is a applied, a 3mm layer of FLC is required to provide “absorbency” for Adhesives to cure.
- FLOOR-TECT® SYSTEM includes Design, Supply, Installation, quality assurance, and performance Warranty.
- FLOOR-TECT® SYSTEM is project specific & a multi-product system
- FLOOR-TECT® SYSTEM is not a supply only of products, it is an end-to-end service.

Performance Based Warranty
Years of experience in curing, sealing, moisture control and protecting new concrete has proven there is a better way. No need to rely on time-consuming processes, multi-trade installations, and escalating costs at the wrong end of the project. Rather, completely effective and quality treatments from day one, to ensure an optimum slab, a warranted result, a long-lasting performance and a finish you can trust to install floor coverings on.
MARKHAM floor treatments have been trusted and proven in the field for over 25 years – a track record you can BE SURE of.BE SURE – One company, one warranty, one installer for curing, sealing and moisture barrier.
- Cost effective. Ensuring the right process from day one results in huge decreases in program time and back end costs.
NOTE: After FLOOREVERDRI Primer is a applied, a 3mm layer of FLC is required to provide “absorbency” for Adhesives to cure.

CONCRETE CURING & MOISTURE CONTROL.
FLOOR-TECT® complies to AS1884:2021 process.
FLOOR-TECT® is a systematic approach to concrete slab curing and moisture control.
Combining the benefits of MARKHAM’s colloidal silica hydrogel treatments with advanced knowledge of concrete and construction, this is a holistic approach to curing your slab, sealing your slab and enhancing your slab, compiled into a single readily specifiable package.

CONCRETE FLOOR SLABS dry very slowly!
CONCRETE FLOOR SLABS dry very slowly!
As international “rule of thumb” concrete dries at the rate of 25mm per month.
This is not only from the time of pour, but from the time the concrete was last wet!
e.g. if it has been exposed to rainy weather during construction.
This means the concrete may still have a high moisture content at the time of installing floor coverings. This in turn can lead to delamination, bubbling, or failure of the adhesive.
MARKHAM’s solution for this challenge is to block the porosity of the concrete, immobilising the moisture. It is important to understand that the moisture is not removed, but it cannot move about and cause issues under the flooring.

RELATIVE HUMIDITY in CONTROLLED inside concrete. NOT removed
MARKHAM catalytic silica hydrogel treatments control moisture inside the concrete porosity. They do not remove moisture. Therefore, the treated
concrete will have a measurable Relative Humidity (RH), regardless of the type of moisture test used.
Hydrogel moisture control is guaranteed regardless of measurable % RH in the concrete providing the MARKHAM FLOORING INSTALLATION GUIDE “5
Rules & 8 Precautions” are followed.
