Overview: The Vacuum Dewatering Flooring (VDF) method by Masterfloors offers a cost-effective solution for achieving high-quality concrete floors. By removing excess water through a vacuum process immediately after placement and vibration, it optimizes the water-cement ratio, resulting in durable and smooth finished surfaces. This technique is widely used in India and has been perfected by Masterfloors over time.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Compressive Strength: VDF increases compressive strength by 40-70%, especially at the surface layer, ensuring long-lasting durability.
• Improved Wear Resistance: The method enhances the wear resistance of the concrete floor, making it suitable for high traffic areas.
• Reduced Shrinkage: VDF reduces concrete shrinkage, minimizing the risk of cracks and structural issues.
• Faster Strength Gain: Concrete treated with vacuum dewatering gains strength faster, enabling earlier utilization of the floor.
• Zero Surface Permeability: Under laboratory conditions, surface permeability is reduced to zero, enhancing resistance to liquids and contaminants.
• Lower Porosity: VDF reduces porosity by 20%, resulting in denser and more durable concrete.
• Efficient Construction: With a wide 4-meter strip construction capability, VDF offers efficient and quick floor laying.

Features:

• Customized Thickness: The thickness of the concrete floor can be tailored according to project requirements.
• VDF Method: Vacuum Dewatering is the core process, removing excess water from concrete after placement and vibration.
• Surface Vibrator: Concrete is vibrated using a surface vibrator on guide channels, ensuring even and efficient compaction.
• Skim Floating: A power trowel is used to achieve a smooth finish, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the floor.
• Tremix Machines: Masterfloors employs 15 sets of Tremix flooring machines across India, equipped for efficient daily outputs.
• Guide Channel Installation: Manual fitting of guide channels ensures precise alignment and leveling for consistent results.

Applications:

• Commercial Spaces: Ideal for malls, shops, and offices due to its high compressive strength and durability.
• Industrial Facilities: Suited for factories and warehouses, where wear resistance and quick strength gain are essential.
• Public Infrastructure: VDF works well in public spaces like airports and train stations, handling heavy foot traffic.
• Residential Complexes: Provides durable and attractive flooring for residential buildings and apartments.
• Hospitality Sector: Restaurants, hotels, and resorts benefit from its longevity and easy maintenance.
