LATICRETE® SUPERCAP® Pump Truck System

The LATICRETE® SUPERCAP® System is a time-saving, cost-effective method in finishing new concrete or capping existing slabs. This proven LEAN Construction tool provides benefits right from the start of concrete placement in division 3 and flows through division 9.

The System combines LEED contributing, GREENGUARD certified, low alkali, self-levelling cement-based technology with a computer-controlled mobile blending unit (the pump truck).

Worth knowing:

• LATICRETE SUPERCAP pump trucks can pour enough self-levelling underlayment to cover up to 4500m2 of floor per day. That’s 12 basketball courts!
• Patented trucks blend the LATICRETE SUPERCAP self-levelling underlayment (SLU) onsite and then pump it out at a rapid rate – faster than anything else on the market.
• After the SLU is laid, it sets for a perfectly flat and smooth finish within 4 hours. Workers can be on the floor the next day without issues.
• The SUPERCAP system is so versatile it can be used for all kinds of projects, including high-rise buildings, retail stores, hospitals, and more. 
• LATICRETE SUPERCAP System will pump self-levelling materials up to 70 floors from street level to deliver a perfectly flat floor faster, safer, and greener.
• The system uses a certified low VOC, low alkali, self-levelling cement-based technology with a computer-controlled mobile blending unit (the pump truck). 

This revolutionary system benefits the entire project from design to completion by providing predictable results that can shave weeks off a project schedule while delivering a perfectly flat floor for following trades to build out on.

Installation of Large Format Tile & Stone

 

Twenty to twenty-five years ago choosing tile was simple. Floor tiles were typically 200x200mm and wall tiles were 100x100mm. There were a couple dozen options for colour on the floor and several options for wall tile colour. The old saying, “you can have any colour you want as long as it’s white” was not far from the truth. With the tremendous advances in technology and materials, the average tile installation is no longer average.

For many years the tile manufacturing trend was to create a wider variety of textures and colours for stone, but more recently there has been a trend to manufacture and install larger and larger tile.

Large format tile was considered to be 300x300mm and was on the cutting edge of technology. Now tile is available from 10x10mm glass mosaic to 1220x1220mm porcelain and larger.

Some advantages of having large format tile installed include:

1. Narrow grout joints – rectified, large format tile allows for thinner grout joint widths.
2. Easier maintenance – it is typically much easier to clean the face of tile than it is to clean grout.
3. Room size perception – the perception is that large tile makes the room in which it is installed appear larger.

Amongst others, five of the main considerations with large format ceramic and stone tile are:

• Floor Flatness
• Lippage
• Thin-Set Adhesive Coverage
• Movement Joint Requirement
• Curing/Protection
