What is Floor Hardener Solution?
Floor hardener is a dry aggregate compound — mineral or metallic — broadcast onto concrete while it's still plastic and then power-floated into the surface. Rather than sitting on top as a coating, it fuses with the top few millimetres of the slab, which is what gives it such high abrasion and impact resistance.
Key Benefits
- High abrasion resistance — Fused directly into the slab surface rather than coated on top.
- Two aggregate grades available — Mineral hardener for standard industrial floors, metallic for the heaviest load conditions.
- No delamination risk — Because it's not a surface coating, it can't peel away from the base slab.
- Cost-effective for new pours — Applied during the concrete pour itself, adding relatively little to overall project cost.
Where It's Used
- Loading bays — Constant point-loading from trolleys and forklifts.
- Factory production floors — Heavy foot and machine traffic areas.
- Warehouse floors — Long-term abrasion resistance under racking and vehicle traffic.
- Workshop floors — General heavy-use industrial flooring.
Our Process
Every floor hardener solution project follows the same disciplined process, whether it's a single room or a full industrial facility:
Site Survey & Testing
We assess the substrate, moisture level and expected load, including close coordination with the concreting contractor's pour schedule, since the hardener has to go in while the slab is still workable.
System Recommendation & Quotation
Based on the survey, we recommend the right system grade and provide a free written quotation.
Surface Preparation
The existing surface is ground, cleaned or primed so the new system bonds properly.
Application & Handover
Our own trained crew installs the system and hands over with a completion check — no subcontracted labour.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can floor hardener be added to an existing concrete floor?
No — dry-shake hardener has to be applied while the concrete is still plastic, during the original pour. For existing floors, a topical hardener treatment or a separate flooring system such as epoxy or polished concrete is used instead.
What's the difference between mineral and metallic hardener?
Mineral hardener suits standard industrial traffic; metallic hardener has a higher load and impact rating, used where the heaviest forklift or machine traffic is expected.
How soon can the floor be used after hardener application?
Typically the floor can take foot traffic within a few days and full vehicle traffic after the standard concrete curing period, usually around 7 days.
What is the floor hardener price in Bangladesh?
Floor hardener price in Bangladesh depends on the dry-shake quantity and floor area. Reach out to us for a free quotation.
