This is 20k sqft of leveler at a 1/2" average to flatten and smooth the floor to leave it at an 1/8" in 10'. This makes every trade that comes after, jobs easier, therefore faster, and overall cheaper. Start to finish 4 days, 1200 bags 4-6 guys.
This is how we pour Ardex V1200 self leveling cements.
We are on the 9th floor of the Veterans Affairs Hospital up by OHSU, 12k sqft at 1/2" average. We will be moving down to the 2nd floor for some more leveling after we finish up on Monday. Have a great week.
A little floating dock repair at Columbia River yacht club. This is a interesting job, they are floating concrete docks with an inner core of Styrofoam and 1.5" of conc encapsulating it. They salted the docks back when, they had someone come in and refresh them a couple years ago which sealed in any trapped moiture from salt migration and the result is as shown, it ate the concrete till it was a powder, signs of efflorescence in layers throughout. We took off the bad then treated the remaining conc to stop the cancer from spreading and used Ardex Artifix with sand to help consolidate,CP to rebuild and CD, to finish it off, then sealed with sinak SG to prevent any further attacks from the environment.
Check out this and other case studies at ardexamericas.com. We are happy to be a part of the case study club and it couldn’t be a better product to showcase- 25 years in the making.

This is a photo dump of this last month's jobs. I really need to keep up with the business page. We ha e some kennels for a vet hospital in tigard. Then a boiler room with elastomeric epoxy at PSU, followed by a couple restrooms at USPS downtown with seamless cove, a garage for a good contractor we work with, some SDM micro topping in southpark seafood downtown, a grind and seal for a new speakeasy on 23rd, then a moisture mitigation job with 1/2" cap to level out the place, and urethane cement at the Justice Center 10th for kitchen. Just a few of the highlights that represent some of the diversity of applications we specialize in.
If there is a project you're needing specialized coatings, fixes, or just consulting for the best practices and material we can help. Where others say it can't be done, chances are we've done it, fixed it, and specified it. With over one hundred years of combined experience working in the field we've seen alot, we're just a phone call or email away.
This is the final finish of the deep V1200 pour that went from 0-5" deep where the rock is. We came back in after a few days of drying and ground it all smooth and topped it with 3 tight coats of Ardex SDM then sealed with Concrete guard for a fantastic hidden mancave bunker floor.

Our latest adventure. Knife River training facility in Albany, Oregon. This is where they train all the guys on concrete trucks, pump trucks, grading, mix design and so on. They had a very badly cracked slab throughout and needed a quick fix since rip out and replace wasn't an option with it being a newly finished building. After being referred to them from my distributor Jeff Brookman at Mason Supply here in Portland I had an onsite walk and came up with a solution for them. Ardex K523 with a grind and seal to give it that seamless terrazzo look while treating all the cracks and joints so they would have an easy to clean visually pleasing floor.
Laying down some Duraflex Polycrete SLB, 3/16" overall thick Urethane cement floor made for the abuse I'm sure it will get at Professional Auto Transports new Portland maintenance shop. Busy week, we will finish this 6500 feet up on Thursday and head down to Albany to install 7k sqft of Ardex K523 and polish it up at Knife Rivers new training facility. It should be an eye catcher pics will follow.
A quick Duraflex SLB 2 day system turnaround- left pic is ground and joints filled with epoxy. Second pic- SL put down with V-notch squeegee and spiked roller with quartz broadcast. Topcoat applied second day…
A recent grind and seal that was done to freshen up this space that we originally did 3 or 4 years ago. During the original build out they went with a quick and cheap waterbased acrylic, it did its job and protected the floor but the owner wanted it to be shiny and smooth. We went in over a weekend since it's an occupied space that rents film equipment to TV shows and movies shot here in Portland to do a quick grind to remove the old and put down the new waterbased epoxy with a urethane topcoat. Client is thrilled, as are we to keep a good relationship happy. Thanks Koerner Camera.
A recent application of Ardex V1200 we are doing at the New Urban High school. Wavy floors need to be flattened out for the intricate marmoleum tile design. Thank you to Zavala group and Rubenstiens for keeping us busy busy.
I know I usually do a fast paced pour video, here is real time. We placed 30 bags of V1200 at a 1/4" over 700 sqft.
It's been awhile since I've posted our work and I'll be trying to catch up and showcase some of our recent projects. This was a Urethane Cement install using Polycrete SL from Duraflex for Oregon State Universities new Facilities headquarters in Corvalis. It's going to be a nice L**e shop.

MMA application
Ardex MC Rapid applied to Whiteaker Middle School in Kiezer Oregon was the choice for a quick 4 day turnaround due to a moisture issue with the previous wood gym floor, after removal of the existing wood floor we found tar paper that had adhered to the concrete slab. It took a little extra effort but we removed all the paper and then scarified and shotblasted the remaining tar from the slab to achieve a clean profiled surface for the moisture mitigation epoxy to adhere to. It is now ready for the new wood floor to have many years of use without a thought of moisture issues.
Flying through the prep for an Ardex K523 pour tomorrow, and a polish, stay tuned I will be filming the pour and polish from start to finish for some visual teaching aids on how we do it.
C.R.T. has successfully completed phase 2 of 3 at Garmin. This is a Dur-A-Flex E.S.D. (Electrostatic dissapative) resin floor. Though this current pandemic is among us, C.R.T. is taking recommended steps in compliance with CDC and state guidelines to keep our workers and jobsite safe. Also we have another crew applying Ardex CD at a second site to fix some rainout and wavy parking garage slabs.
Don't hesitate to call and schedule your floor project. We can do a site assessment and work with your team to come up with a safe and comprehensive solution to keep your job on schedule and safe.

One of last weeks jobs was an ESD epoxy floor in Garmins module assembly and clean clean room.
There was a very thick (1/2") of a previous epoxy down that needed to be removed first. Then we had to level areas that where problematic before. The building has gone through constant expansion so alot of new slabs have been poured that needed to be scarified then leveled. Next we did moisture control system followed by a new color matched ESD floor from Dur-A-Flex . This was phase one at a little over 3000 sqft and it turned out awesome.
Started this morning off meeting a happy client that wants to add an entire arena worth of our small 3k sqft test area of Ardex SDM. They absolutely fell in love with it they said and are complimented every event on how well the floor looks to what it did. That's great news for a college. Then it was off to our warehouse for furthering education and training of our newer guys and a insightful refresh for us older ones. Thanks to Dylan Snyder and Trevor Evan's from Dur-A-Flex for the MMA familiarization meet. Always a good time and so beneficial having that team around.
ARDEX & DUR-A-FLEX cant think of a better day. One common denominator on our successful installations is preparation, if you'd like to have the best outcomes possible call Matthew Shrater and use what we use. I'm not sure why I cannot tag anyone but for further info please dont hesitate to pm me or drop a message below. Thanks for looking at the page.
Thank you to all that have liked the page, I have been slacking but the recent activity has got me reinvigorated. For other posts of the same look at my personal page Chris Nath. But I will make more of an effort on my page. I appreciate every like and will return the gratitude.
Albany Timber Ridge Elementary school, done with Polycrete MDB and Finished with Armor Top custom color and custom finish texture. This comprised of a kitchen complex and 15 bathrooms. For more info please contact us at 503-650-6755 ask for Chris, or Spencer.
A few jobs from the past week. Of course some Ardex Self leveling polishable k523 a little over 20k sqft, and then 2 commercial kitchens one we finished with Polycrete quartz broadcast, and one we just started that will be polycrete and a custom color UC topcoat. We only use the best products available for clients, because like them we have a vested interest in it lasting a lifetime.
Polycrete MDB for the win, we had 2 days to remove and apply a 1/4" UC with cove and Poly topcoat for the Justice Center here in Portland. Job complete with almost a full day to spare.
Loading dock repair, we had a 1"+ high steel transition strip lodged in multiple attempts at fixes and coatings to get it somewhat bearable for pallet Jack's and forklifts, after many complaints some by yours truly I had go take matters into my own hands and make it plush. I took out the steel strip, scarified down about a half inch and then used the Smith hand scarifier (video in comments) along with the hand shaver to give it a nice ramp. Then I used Duraflex HF to give it a nice smooth but very durable finish.
Does this sound familiar? Something that your warehouse needs? This process also works for cracks and joints with lipage, this repair will last decades.
Schedule an appointment and we can assess what your warehouse needs to give it decades more life, along with your equipment.
A quick tip to those that use the Hippo and change mixing blades out as often as I do, throw a washer in between the connection, this will give it an easy break point, not having one almost creates a heat weld and it takes some work to get them to break apart.
If your in need of self leveling concrete or wondered how we do it, this is a brief video of what we do. The tools of professionalism and these are just a few of the tools that are needed to just apply the product safely and efficiently. Please do some Research when looking for a coatings contractor, the right knowledge and equipment dashed with efficiency will always lead to a successful and on time completion of installation.

Ardex K523 for🍎
A few projects from this last week to this week, first is for PGE this was an old warehouse space turned to office space with a drain in the middle falling 3" we filled using Ardex V1200 and rock going from 3"-1/4".
Second spot was recently poured steps and walkway that had some finishing issue such as delam and drainage puddling each step has an inset light under the toe kick. We ground and shot blasted the weak and to prepare for Ardex CP to fill the duckponds the CD to base coat, with CD -Fine and a little black colorant to give it a charcoal color, sealed with CG.
Moisture mitigation and leveling 2 key products in a fast turnaround project, to not only stop a current or future moisture problem but also to level the floor so that now the walls go up faster and easier the doors are set level, cabinets dont have to be shimmed, and no added charge for floor prep.
