Epoxy paint and hired craftsmen is cost demanding - and the floor quality is bad.

«We used to have a lot of painted concrete. This proved to be a very expensive solution in the long run. Epoxy paint and hired craftsmen is cost demanding - and the floor quality is bad.

We chose AcryliCon because we needed a floor that would last for many years with minimal special maintainance. We first tested out AcryliCon on a limited test area. It worked perfectly. After gathering references we started applying AcryliCon on a large scale. So far NTNU (Norwegian university of Science and Technology) have installed about 4000 sq.metres of AcryliCon.

There have been some complaints about smell during installation of AcryliCon floors. And there will be some odor during installation, even though the There is bound to be some smell of the product during installation, even though the diluted materials does not pose any health hazzards. Therefore we always give written notice (flyers) to affected parties prior to installation of a new floor. in addition, we, in cooperation with craftsmen from AcryliCon, careful about moving the air outside "manually", which means we do not use the normal ventilation system. This helps a lot.»
