*FM 2 floors* FM floors are more about flatness and level of the floor. Densification and polishing are valuable additions to FM2 floors, providing enhanced durability, aesthetics, and ease of maintenance. Although not essential for meeting FM2 flatness and levelness criteria, these processes can significantly improve the overall quality and performance of the floor. TR34 focuses on ensuring the flatness, levelness, strength, and durability of concrete floors. Key Points from TR34: 1. Flatness and Levelness: The primary focus for FM2 floors is achieving the specified flatness and levelness criteria, which are critical for the performance of industrial floors, especially in environments with very narrow aisles (VNA). 2. Concrete Mix and Strength: Ensuring the concrete mix design meets the specified requirements for strength, durability, and workability is essential. 3. Joint Design and Installation: Proper joint design and installation are crucial to prevent cracking and other issues. Densification and Polishing: • Densification: While densification improves surface hardness, reduces dusting, and enhances durability, it is not a mandatory requirement in TR34 for FM2 floors. It is often recommended or chosen as an additional step to improve the floor’s performance. • Polishing: Polishing is primarily for aesthetic and maintenance benefits, providing a smooth, reflective surface that is easier to clean. This process is not required by TR34 for FM2 floors but can be specified based on project requirements and client preferences. Conclusion: Densification and polishing are not mandated by TR34 for FM2 floors. However, these processes can be beneficial enhancements depending on the specific needs and preferences for the floor’s performance and appearance. The decision to include densification and polishing should be based on the intended use of the floor, environmental conditions, and maintenance considerations. *Disclaimer- All data and information provided herein are for informational purposes only.
