Best Concrete Repair products for Floor Repair

Concrete floors are utilitarian, easy to maintain and can even be hip and modern. Whether in your warehouse, garage, freezer or living room, polyurethane repair products are is the simplest and fastest materials available for concrete repair. FlexSet and Concrete Welder can be used to fix concrete damage large and small.

Standard methods may require digging out, chiseling, keying, priming and sealing but with FlexSet you simply clean up the damaged concrete floor to ensure that there are no loose pieces, mix your materials and apply. Your floor can be back to use in under an hour.

Even if you plan to cover over your concrete floor, it must be smooth and free from damage if you want your surface materials to look good. Concrete damage can cause bumps in your carpet, trouble interlocking hardwood floors and even collect moisture. For a simple and long-lasting repair, use polyurethane repair products.

For small cracks, use Concrete Welder in cartridges and for more extensive concrete repairs, use FlexSet. To get started, here are the tools needed:

FlexSet Kit
  • A push broom or blower
  • Drill
  • Egg-beater style mixer
  • Trowel or Lute
Concrete Welder Cartridge
  • A broom or blower
  • Scraper or straight-edge
First ensure that the damaged area is clean and dry. Sweep or blow out cracks so there is no loose debris. When using FlexSet concrete repair product, carefully pour contents of bottle “a” into provided 5-gallon bucket then add special coated sand. Next, shake thoroughly and pour bottle “b” into sand mixture. Mix with a paddle-mixer, using a drill. When mixture is completely wet, pour FlexSet onto damaged concrete floor and use a trowel or lute to smooth material into cracks. When damage is smooth, toss topping sand by hand over repaired area to create a uniform look and feel. Your concrete floor can be ready for use in about an hour.

Smaller or hairline cracks in your concrete floor can be filled simply using Concrete Welder, available in a cartridge format. Once the crack is clean and free of moisture, open cartridge and squeeze Concrete Welder directly into the crack. Use a scraper or straight-edge to smooth the material out. Wipe up any excess material and allow to dry for 30 minutes. Now the crack is filled and your concrete floor is ready for use.

With the cracks in your concrete floor filled and smooth, your floor will look better and last longer.
