What is vacuum dewatered flooring?
The vacuum dewatering concrete is based on the principle of removing surplus water (or excess water). The concrete floor is dewatered by vacuum process wherein surplus water from the concrete is removed immediately after placing and vibration, thereby reducing the water cement ratio to the optimum level.

What are the advantages of vacuum dewatered concrete floor?
Advantages of Tremix flooring or Vacuum dewatered flooring over the conventional flooring:
- Increased Compressive strength of floor.
- Increased Tensile strength.
- Reduced Cement consumption (No cement is required for finishing the surface)
- Increased Abrasion resistance.
- Reduced water / cement ration.
- Increased Impact strength.
Where is vacuum concrete used?
The main application of vacuum concrete is hydropower plants. Vacuum concrete application is a cooling tower. The another application of vacuum concrete is on the industrial floor, cold storages, etc. Vacuum concrete is widely used in bridges of ports and harbours.
What is the difference between VDF and IPS flooring?
Unlike IPS, a VDF floor calls for a more skilled labour with almost twice as many man hours over the same stretch….. This system raises the cost as there is machinery required, but appearance wise and strength wise the VDF (Vacuum Dewatered Floor) floor stands out……
How VDF flooring is done?
Procedure of VDF Flooring
- Tying Line Dori (Threads) as per the slope requirements.
- Laying Guide Rails to every 4 meters using MS Channels or as required in straight lines along the Line Dori, taking levels as per the slope and fixing them using concrete also called grouting and left to set for a minimum of 24 hours.

How is IPS flooring done?
Indian Patent Flooring (IPS) is a normal type of concrete flooring. For gloosy and smooth IPS flooring, neat cement pinning, 2 to 3 mm thick is spread over the concrete surface and allowed to soak. For curing of IPS flooring surface pond or wet Hessian cloths are spread over the surface for 15 days.
What is difference between PCC and IPS flooring?
It is laid over the concrete base (1:4:8), which is almost 3 to 4 inches thick plain cement concrete (PCC) base. You can decide the thickness of the IPS flooring as per the requirement of work; in residential floor 75 mm floor thickness is sufficient whereas industrial floor thickness should be kept 150 mm.
