Stonclad GS offers a high-strength flooring solution for industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, food, beverage, and more. Stonclad GS combines strength, abrasion and impact resistance, and safety compliance, making it ideal for facilities with heavy foot and heavy-wheeled traffic.
Product Overview
Stonclad GS can be easily and quickly installed by “power trowelling” meaning large open areas of floor can be installed extremely quickly and economically. Stonclad GS is usually installed at 6mm thick and cures to form an extremely hard, impact-resistant mortar that exhibits excellent abrasion and wear resistance. It can be used anywhere an epoxy mortar is required.
System Options
Coatings - To improve cleanability and increase the resistance to damage from abrasion and chemical spillages, the following coating is recommended: Stonkote HT4. Other coating options are available that can protect against static UV and stain resistance. Kemtile is happy to advise you on specific requirements.
Waterproofing – Where the system needs to be waterproof and be able to resist cracking from the substrate Stonhard’s Stonproof ME7/RH7 can be utilised as a first layer and the Stoncald GS can be laid directly onto these systems to provide a “positive side” waterproofing barrier.
Cove Base - To provide an integral seal at the joint between the floor and the wall, Stonclad GS can be used to form a cove base at varying heights.
