Description
This bulletin provides a design and construction outline for those considering the use of concrete toppings for the first time.
Replacing an existing floor is often difficult to achieve in a cost-effective way and toppings can be a viable alternative. However, if the existing structural slab is unsound or alteration of existing floor levels is not possible, removal and replacement of the existing slab may be the only alternative.
There is an increasing use of concrete as a decorative finish. Concrete toppings are an effective method of achieving this.
