SL Floor Hardener is a specially formulated mixture of Portland cement, selected and screened natural raw materials and light, fast, organic pigments. The Africote Floor Hardener is applied by ‘Dry Shake’ method over semi-dry screed and hardens to a rustic and more marbled finish. SL Floor Hardener colours the top layer of a screed. This creates a hard-wearing skin, that is smooth to the touch once cured and sealed. It provides a seamless floor finish. The screed does, however, require expansion joints, as with any concrete screed. Sealing of the floor with Africote Twin Pack Polyurethane sealer, will enhance the colour of the floor and aid in floor maintenance and assist in preventing possible stains.
