Joint maintenance and the need to repair joint edge spalls, deterioration, cracking, or larger filler separation voids is inevitable over time in even the most durably constructed concrete floors. Whatever the root cause of the deterioration, whether it’s simply wear and tear, failure to properly fill joints at the time of construction or other improper construction methods, Metzger/McGuire is eager to assist you with advice and solutions for all your concrete floor repair and maintenance needs.
The concrete floor is the worksurface upon which an entire building’s operations rely upon to ensure a productive and safe workplace. At Metzger/McGuire, we don’t take for granted the importance of well-built, durable concrete floor. Floor joints are an important – and vulnerable – part of a concrete floor system. Maintaining floor joints to prevent spalling and joint edge damage is critical to ensure the long term durability and serviceability of your building’s most important asset.
Just as there is no singular joint repair and maintenance issue, there is also not always a one-size-fits-all repair solution. Whether you’re dealing with joint filler separation, joint filler collapse, or slab edge curling, it’s also important to consider the scale, severity and the underlying cause of the issue to help you choose the right solution and product.
Metzger/McGuire stands ready to be your expert partner in determining cost-effective, long term solutions for all your floor joint repairs. We can help you take the guesswork and trial-and-error process out of floor repair equation by reviewing your floor problems and your operational needs to determine the best long term solutions to ensure your material handling operation runs at maximum efficiency.
No matter the specific challenge you’re facing with your concrete flooring, we have the joint repair solutions you need to repair your floor once and repair it right. Our products are specifically designed to provide durable repairs of a whole host of concrete floor issues, from minor joint edge repair to major joint edge rebuilding/re-nosing to under slab stabilization of concrete panels.
If you’re experiencing issues with joint filler separation-a common issue when joint fillers are installed early in the concrete floor’s curing stage-there are several semi-rigid joint filler solutions to consider:
In situations where you’re facing deeper/wider voids as a result of serious joint spalling from long term lack of maintenance, often times a joint may need to be “rebuilt” or “re-nosed” using a rigid structural epoxy mortar system. Options include Armor-Hard and Armor-Hard Extreme, a pair of early setting structural epoxy systems unequaled in their industry-leading durability. More rigid semi-rigid fillers, such as our MM-80 or Spal-Pro 2000, can also be suitable depending on the scope and scale of the repairs and the demands of your operation.
The important thing to remember is that you don’t have to shoulder the burden of guessing or agonizing over the right solution for your concrete floor joint repair concern.
