Self-levelling polished concrete – the decorative floor for indoors and outdoors

Rapid Set TRU® Self Levelling polished concrete systems are a high-quality, innovative, self-levelling designer floor, based on special cement technology. Ideal where time is a constraint, high early strength, durability and low shrinkage setting are desired. TRU® maintains workability for up to 20 minutes and is ready for foot traffic after 2 to 3 hours.

TRU® floors can be polished to a high sheen 24 hours after placement and possess the same qualities of a regular polished concrete floor. Final thickness is from 7 mm to 12 mm; we can go up to 35 mm but we recommend building the floor up with a regular self-levelling screed if this thickness is required.

Additional individual effects can be created and floors can be stained to various colours.
