Self-leveling topping that’s ready for traffic in 2-3 hours
Self-leveling topping that’s ready for traffic in 2-3 hours
TRU PC is a high-performance, self-leveling concrete topping that creates the elegant look of polished concrete—but works differently than traditional polishing. Instead of grinding your existing concrete slab, TRU PC is applied as a fresh layer over damaged, uneven, or unsuitable substrates. This polymer-modified cement flows easily and levels itself naturally when mixed with water, creating a smooth surface ready for polishing or use as an underlayment for other flooring types.
Here’s what makes TRU PC different: it’s engineered for speed and versatility. Traditional concrete needs 28 days to cure before polishing. TRU PC is ready for foot traffic in 2-3 hours and coatings in 12 hours. Got an old warehouse floor that’s too damaged for traditional polishing? TRU PC gives you a fresh surface. Need a perfectly level base for tile or epoxy? TRU PC handles that too. Available in natural and gray colors, it can be ground and polished to expose aggregate, creating a sleek, high-end floor suitable for schools, airports, warehouses, retail stores, and restaurants. Once applied, TRU PC can be polished like traditional concrete or used as an underlayment for epoxy systems.
Key Benefits: • Self-leveling topping vs. grinding existing concrete • Foot traffic in 2-3 hours, not 28 days • Works as polished floor OR underlayment system
First, we assess the existing substrate to ensure it’s suitable for TRU PC application. The surface must be clean, stable, and free of contaminants. We inspect for any structural issues and determine whether we’re working with new concrete, resurfacing an existing floor, or creating an underlayment for other flooring types. The area is thoroughly cleaned and any necessary repairs are completed before application.
The polymer-modified cement is mixed with water according to specifications, creating a thinner, more fluid texture than traditional concrete. We pour and spread the material, which naturally levels itself to create an even surface. The minimum thickness is 3/8 inches, or 1/2 inch for floors subjected to high-load, rubber-wheeled traffic. The self-leveling properties eliminate the need for extensive troweling or manual leveling.
After the TRU PC has cured sufficiently (foot traffic in 2-3 hours, full strength develops over time), the surface can be ground and polished to expose the natural aggregate. This creates the high-quality, smooth finish suitable for commercial spaces. Diamond abrasives progressively refine the surface to the desired level of sheen – from matte to high-gloss. The final result is a durable, easy-to-maintain floor that enhances any space.
TRU PC ground and polished to expose aggregate, delivering a high-quality, smooth finish with a glossy, reflective appearance. Perfect for commercial and industrial spaces where aesthetics meet durability. The exposed aggregate creates a terrazzo-like effect. Best for: Schools, airports, retail stores, restaurants, lobbies
An excellent solution for resurfacing existing concrete floors that need a fresh, durable finish. TRU PC covers imperfections in the old surface and creates a smooth, uniform base that can be left as-is or polished. Faster than removing and replacing old concrete. Best for: Warehouses with worn floors, outdated retail spaces
TRU PC provides a solid, reliable foundation for other flooring systems including tile, wood, carpet, vinyl, or epoxy coatings. The self-leveling properties ensure a perfectly flat surface for flooring installation, eliminating issues from uneven substrates. Best for: Multi-use spaces, areas requiring specific floor coverings
TRU PC is engineered specifically for high-traffic commercial applications. Schools benefit from the durable, easy-to-maintain surface that stands up to constant foot traffic and wheeled carts. Airports need flooring that handles millions of footsteps – TRU PC delivers with low shrinkage and fast setting that minimizes disruption. Warehouses appreciate the quick turnaround – foot traffic in 2-3 hours means minimal downtime.
For floors subjected to high-load, rubber-wheeled traffic, TRU PC can be applied at 1/2 inch thickness for additional strength. The fast-curing formula means operations can resume quickly. The polished finish resists wear and doesn’t generate dust like untreated concrete. Compatible with wood, ceramic tile, and other non-flexible substrates underneath.
