We have developed a loyal customer and supplier base over the last 40 years because we believe that our customers’ success is our success. That is why we are continuously upgrading our product lines to provide the best possible quality and performance to any construction project.

Recently we have enhanced our Division 3 Portland Cement Underlayment, Topcrete SL. Our Topcrete SL has revolutionized the way we treat rough and uneven floors. The product is perfect for addressing uneven substrates because it is 100% self-leveling and sets very quickly. Some additional benefits include:

• Topcrete SL can be used over new or old concrete and provides an excellent base for
  quarry tile, terrazzo and wood floors
• Resistant to penetration of water and moisture
• Fine aggregate, perfect for feather edging techniques
• Cost effective

Although this product has been proven time and time again to effectively treat uneven surfaces, we have found new ways to improve upon this tried-and-tested product.

Combat Water Seepage in Concrete Foundations

• Product – CPD® Non-Shrink Grout (Pre-Mix)
• Project – Filling block foundation due to water issues (Peterborough area)
• Contractor – Kidd Bros Construction Ltd.
• Distributor – Doughty Masonry Centre

During a wet and rainy season, many buildings may discover a water seepage issue in their foundation. This was the case with our featured Project of the Month from contractor Kidd Bros Construction Ltd. in Peterborough, ON.

As we know, the enemy of all basements and foundations is water. Moisture around the building naturally seeps through porous concrete, leaving any material in the room damp and damaged. There are many methods and products to apply to concrete in order to prevent, combat or correct water damage. CPD Construction Products have the options and can advise the best solution for your project – big or small.

In our featured project, a residential foundation was showing signs of water seepage and needed to be repaired. Kidd Bros Construction along with Doughty Masonry Centre determined the best solution was to fill the existing concrete block foundation with CPD® Non-Shrink Grout (Pre-Mix). This particular product is a pre-blended, ready-to-use cement base grout containing non-ferrous fluidifiers and anti-shrinkage compounds accurately blended with graded siliceous aggregate and portland cement. It is available pre-blended and requires only the addition of water at the job site, making the application process quick and easy.

Access holes were drilled into the existing block foundation wall, and then the CPD® Non-Shrink Grout (Pre-Mix) product was pumped inside. After allowing the product to dry, the holes were patched and sealed.

Kidd Bros Construction Ltd. has been using CPD® Non-Shrink Grout (Pre-Mix) with great success by reinforcing block walls and stopping the intrusion of water.

CPD® Construction Products carries a wide range of products formulated to seal, patch and waterproof concrete used in wet or damp environments. View our full range of products here.

Exposed Concrete : CPD Construction Products

Exposed Concrete: Polished Finish with CPD® Construction Products

Exposed concrete floors are suitable for various applications and can be considered for many projects. They are particularly useful for heavy loads or traffic, or when combined with under-floor heating for continuous and efficient space heating. As a finish, they can appear utilitarian or luxurious depending very much upon the chosen materials and installation techniques.

The most prevalent texture or finish for internal exposed concrete floors is polished – either power-trowelled for a smooth solid appearance, or diamond-ground to expose the aggregates. Highly polished concrete floors have become a popular and practical design choice for many commercial warehouses, studios, galleries, office buildings and other high traffic areas.

CPD® Construction Products were recently used in the rehab of an existing space for The Physio Studio in Oshawa, Ontario. Toronto area concrete floor specialists, FenixFinish Polished Concrete, exposed the existing 5,000 sq. ft. concrete floor for the new tenants who required a professional, durable and economical floor option. After exposing the concrete, Cipadeck® LP was used to densify and dustproof the concrete floor, then polished and finished with Cipadeck® Shield; a single component water-based, durable protective coating. The result is a beautiful, dust-free, low maintenance floor with an aesthetically pleasing finish.

Easy to apply and readily available, CPD® Construction Products are developed and tested in our on-site laboratory for consistent quality and durability. Our team of knowledgeable experts are available for consultation on any project, big or small. We know our products well and can help you determine the right product for the job.

CPD® Construction Products used:

Cipadeck® LP (Lithium Potassium Silicate Blend) is an economical clear penetrating liquid concrete densifier supplied in a ready to use form. This product is used to densify and dustproof concrete floors.

Cipadeck® Shieldis a single component water-based, durable protective coating for plain or colored concrete floors or surfaces that have been treated using Cipadeck L or Cipadeck® LP lithium densifiers.
