WHAT IS CONCRETE FLOORING SERVICE ON JIJI?

Concrete flooring service on Jiji is the process of applying a layer of concrete flooring on open ground to serve as a foundation for building structures.

Concrete Terrazzo Slabs are made up of high-quality cement, fine aggregates, admixtures, and water. A quick hardening hard paste is applied on the sleeper base using either rotary machine or vibratory screed machines depending on available technology in Nigeria. After some minutes one layer of the terrazzo slabs is laid down while another layer of fresh concrete is being awaited for. The surface is then finished with manual screeding using a finishing trowel to obtain the required smoothness depending on usage requirement.

The terrazzo slabs are designed with different colors on their surface that are packed in color-coded bags before delivery at site. Before the terrazzo slabs are laid on the surface, it has to be cleaned of any sands and clay material within reach of machine blades so as not to scratch or mar its attractive look, since one of its main qualities consists in color uniformity throughout the whole slab flooring area.

CONCLUSION

The Concreters are individuals or construction companies that offer this type of service on either contract or on daily basis, the contractors are usually engaged by clients during building construction projects. After some time, if some defects appear on the surface of the concrete slabs due for example excessive weight pressure from vehicles parking above them, cracks will start spreading all over the place even though they can be repaired using a patching compound specially designed for use under any circumstances. Finally, there is a need to restore/renovate existing concrete floors before they become totally unusable.

It is important to note that the installation of concrete flooring service on Jiji may be carried out under wet conditions. This means, there is no need for a drying period after the application before using the slab(s).All types of vehicles can then use it immediately without delay or additional costs involved.

The clients/end users usually body corporate (Corporation), Government agencies, and individuals who can afford this type of payment mode hence they prefer hiring contractors to do the job rather than doing it themselves. Maintenance of concrete floors on daily basis depends on usage either by pedestrians or heavy-duty vehicles. The more effort you put in maintaining your concrete floors on a daily/weekly basis, the longer they will last you before having them re-laid again.
