GuardRight^™ VE System

GuardRight^™ VE System

A GuardRight™ VE system provides the most effective barrier between your concrete and aggressive chemicals. With the highest resistance to a range of concentrated compounds and temperatures, there’s not a floor better equipped to handle intense chemical and thermal abuse. GuardRight™ VE provides a functional – not decorative – finish.

GuardRight^™ VE System Additions

The following GuardRight^™ VE system additions are recommended to improve your floor’s performance:

Enhanced Traction

Prevent slip-and-fall accidents in wet areas and save time and money by addingthe right texture to your flooring system. Choose from polypropylene, quaraluminum oxide or even granite to customize the texture of your Textures range from light to very aggressive.

Fiberglass Reinforcement

The addition of fiberglass fabric adds impact resistance and structural integriwhile bridging surface defects. Typically, fiberglass reinforcement is used wherean extra barrier is necessary to prevent cracking, and to keep caustic chemicalfrom leaching into the substrate.

Floor Markings

Whether you require striping for safety, product locators for inventory, location marks for your 5S program or even a company logo, Concare can provide it witha variety of specialty floor markings.

Quartz (Q)

Incorporate Quartz (Q) aggregate into a coating to provide added strength antexture. Harder than silica sand, Quartz can add significant life in a heavy traffic application. Thickness and durability double when you add Quartz -- but the costwon’t.

Waterproofing

Protect people, processes and equipment with a Waterproofing Membrane. A long-lasting Waterproofing Membrane is ideal for wet areas where seepage is an issue. Concare’s Waterproofing Membranes also prevent leaks from pump rooms, washrooms, kitchens and parking garages.
