Floor and wall surfacing, both inside and outside, present a variety of challenges with regard to aesthetics, performance and longevity. Waterproofness, durability and safety are also important factors when considering the right surfacing material for your application. This course will explore conventional methods for surfacing a variety of building applications. It will then compare these systems with advanced micro cement surfaces in the categories of bond strength, resurfacing, waterproofing, moisture management, crack remediation, ADA compliance, aesthetics, longevity and sustainability.

Learning Objectives

  • Discuss the pros and cons of materials commonly used on floors and walls.
  • Understand the uses and applications of advanced micro cement systems for floors and walls.
  • Understand how advanced micro cement systems are used in waterproofing, crack remediation and ADA compliance.
  • Explain the way that advanced micro cement systems contribute to achieving sustainability goals in buildings.
