The ASCC Presents:
Where Floor Covering Meets
Sustainable World of Concrete
Was it the concrete? Was it the adhesive? Or was it the "Sustainable" mix design?
Floor failures are costing our industry millions. Architects are specifying green concrete, GCs are pushing schedules, and Flooring Contractors are left holding the bag when the adhesive doesn't bond or the polish looks "muddy."
Join Bill Clyne from FST Concrete for a Town-Hall Style Session at the ASCC.
Are You Experiencing These Nightmares?
• The "Never-Drying" Slab: You’ve waited 60 days, but the RH is still through the roof. (Common with Type 1L Cement)
• The Adhesive "Skin-Over": The glue looks right, but it never bites into the slab. (The Slag density effect)
• The Failed Bond Test: The concrete is strong, the prep was right, but the floor is popping up.
• The Ghosting Polish: Your diamonds are glazing over and the shine is inconsistent.
The Agenda: Connecting the Dots
We are bringing all parties to the table—Contractors, Manufacturers, and Architects—to bridge the gap between "Green" mandates and "Real-World" performance.
• The SCM Culprits: A deep dive into how Slag, Fly Ash, and PLC (1L) change the chemical DNA of your floor.
• The Testing Trap: Why your current ASTM tests might be lying to you when sustainable admixtures are present.
• The Manufacturer Gap: Why installation instructions are 10 years behind the new concrete science.
• The Solution: New protocols for placement, protection, and prep to ensure success.
The ASCC Presents:
Where Floor Covering Meets
Sustainable Concrete
WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR HORROR STORIES.
This isn't just a presentation—it’s a clinic. Bill will be taking "Case Studies" from the floor. Bring your toughest failure questions, and let’s identify if the "Sustainable" properties were the hidden cause of your project's downfall.
Who Needs to Be There:
• General Contractors: Stop the schedule delays caused by wet slabs.
• Flooring & Polish Contractors: Protect your profit and your reputation.
• Architects & Pre-Con: Learn what to specify so your "Green" building doesn't have a "Gray" floor failure.
• Manufacturers: Update your specs for the modern mix design.
