CLEVA CRETE 842 MVRA: Specifying Durable Concrete Solutions for High-Traffic and Hygienic Facilities
For construction projects that demand both resilience and fast-tracked workflows, CLEVA CRETE 842 MVRA offers a moisture-reducing concrete admixture that integrates moisture protection directly into the concrete mix. This ensures a reliable base for flooring installations in areas with specific durability, hygiene, and safety requirements—like hospitals, schools, childcare centres, and high-traffic public facilities. By reducing moisture vapour emissions and eliminating the need for additional surface treatments, 842 MVRA is increasingly specified by builders to create lasting, high-performance concrete that supports flooring installations and withstands the demands of heavy use.
In buildings where flooring like vinyl or timber is essential, concrete preparation can be a significant factor in both short- and long-term performance. Moisture management is crucial to ensure that flooring bonds well and lasts. Without an internal moisture barrier, excess moisture within the concrete can lead to swelling, mould growth, adhesive failures, and costly floor repairs.
CLEVA CRETE 842 MVRA (Moisture Vapour Reduction Admixture) directly addresses this need by embedding moisture resistance within the concrete, making it ideal for projects where flooring performance, hygiene, and durability are critical.
Product Overview: What is CLEVA CRETE 842 MVRA?
CLEVA CRETE 842 MVRA is a high-performance admixture designed to provide moisture control directly within the concrete slab. The admixture reduces moisture vapour transmission, allowing builders to eliminate additional waterproofing steps and allowing faster flooring installation without compromising durability.
Key Features of CLEVA CRETE 842 MVRA:
- Internal Moisture Barrier: Prevents excess moisture from compromising flooring adhesives or finishes.
- Accelerated Flooring Installation: Allows flooring to be installed in as little as 14 days post-pour.
- Enhanced Durability: Densifies concrete, preventing moisture-related issues like cracking and spalling.
- Hygienic and Low-Maintenance: Supports environments with stringent hygiene needs, like healthcare facilities.
Key Benefits of Specifying CLEVA CRETE 842 MVRA
For contractors and developers, the choice of materials can make a significant difference in the speed, durability, and long-term resilience of a project. By integrating 842 MVRA into concrete for spaces requiring flooring, projects benefit from:
Rapid Project Completion for Flooring Installation
842 MVRA reduces wait times associated with moisture-cured concrete, enabling vinyl, timber, and other flooring to be installed just 14 days after the pour. This is possible because 842 MVRA eliminates the need for self-levelling compounds, grinding, and additional waterproofing, allowing contractors to keep projects on schedule and meet tight timelines.
Reliability in High-Traffic and High-Risk Hygiene Facilities
Environments like hospitals, childcare centres, and schools require concrete with enhanced durability and moisture resistance. By densifying the concrete and significantly reducing vapour transmission, 842 MVRA protects flooring materials from premature failure, ensuring a safe and clean environment and minimizing disruptions due to maintenance.
Long-Term Cost Savings
Integrating moisture management directly into the concrete mix reduces maintenance costs over time. The enhanced durability minimizes the risk of common moisture-related issues such as cracking, delamination, and spalling, which would otherwise require costly repairs.
Environmental and Compliance Benefits
Using 842 MVRA reduces the need for additional waterproofing materials, supporting sustainable practices by decreasing the amount of VOCs and chemicals required on-site. This admixture also meets industry standards for low-emission and VOC-free materials, ensuring projects adhere to increasingly stringent environmental and health regulations.
Applications of CLEVA CRETE 842 MVRA in Flooring-Dependent Projects
CLEVA CRETE 842 MVRA is suitable for a wide range of applications where flooring performance is essential, including:
Healthcare Facilities
Used in healthcare environments with strict hygiene needs, 842 MVRA supports a seamless installation of vinyl and other hygienic flooring materials, ensuring that the concrete foundation provides a reliable, moisture-free surface that’s easy to maintain and supports high-traffic patient care areas.
Educational Institutions
Educational facilities face heavy foot traffic and require flooring that is resilient and safe for children and staff. By using 842 MVRA in concrete slabs, schools can rely on durable, moisture-protected foundations that support vinyl, timber, and other flooring solutions.
Childcare Centres
842 MVRA enables flooring like rubber or vinyl to bond securely to the concrete substrate, creating a hygienic, safe environment for young children. The moisture control within the concrete ensures minimal disruptions from repairs and mitigates risks of mold or bacteria buildup.
High-Traffic Public Facilities
Public facilities where concrete floors support both high-traffic areas and durable finishes benefit from 842 MVRA’s moisture resistance and enhanced structural density, ensuring these floors withstand constant wear without moisture-related damage.
