Proper Prep™ – Taking Cost and Risk Out of the Installation
Every experienced contractor knows that all substrates are different and jobsite conditions vary tremendously. Strong technical support in substrate preparation is essential to determine the correct preparation procedures for any installation, especially when surfaces contain heavy cutback residue, compounds, sealers or they have solidly bonded floor finishes.
To help meet the toughest jobsite challenges, ARDEX offers the exclusive ARDEX Proper Prep™ Program. Proper Prep is the collective experience and product knowledge of ARDEX flooring installation professional partners and the ARDEX Technical Services Team. This includes working closely with the ARDEX LevelMaster Elite® Installers.
