8/9/2023 0 Comments Concrete overlay design![]() ![]() Pourable, self-leveling systems tend to cover floors faster with less finish work than trowel- or spray-applied products. Some overlays can go right over properly prepared surfaces others require application of a primer or bonding agent before overlay placement. Others require mixing the polymer additive and any pigmentation desired with the cement and other dry ingredients. Some products come preblended like a cake mix, and all you need to add is water. How easy is the product to mix and apply?Įase of use may also influence overlay selection, especially if you're the installer. ![]() Using more than one coloring method (such as integral color combined with broadcast pigments and stains or dyes) will also boost the final cost. The total cost of overlay installation will be higher if you are using stencils, stamping mats, or decorative engraving or sawcutting to pattern the surface. Often a higher-build material or a material containing aggregates will perform better in aggressive environments. Is the slab outdoors and subject to weather extremes and freezing and thawing? Is it a floor surface in a high-traffic area or subject to chemical, grease, and oil spills? Although most systems will stand up well to wear, chemical attack, and dirt penetration when properly installed and sealed, some are better suited than others for harsher exposure conditions. (Read more about reducing bond failures caused by moisture vapor transmission.) What conditions will the overlay be exposed to?īe sure the topping or overlay system is tough enough to withstand all the conditions it will confront. If it's too high, be sure to use a permeable overlay system that will permit the moisture vapor to escape. There are simple tests you can perform to check the moisture vapor emission rate of concrete. ![]() Too much moisture in the concrete substrate can also be a problem for some overlay systems, especially products that restrict the ability of the concrete to "breathe" or release moisture vapor as needed. Unless the surface imperfections are expertly patched or filled, they could telegraph through a thinner overlay, such as a microtoppping or skim coat. What is the condition of the existing surface?ĭoes the concrete have a lot of cracks or gouges? Is the surface out of level? If so, choose a higher-build material, such as a self-leveling or stampable overlay that can be applied at a thickness of 1/4 inch or greater.

It was Throne who also lent his deep distinctive voice to the split-screen credit sequence set to Dave Grusin's memorable theme, saying: "Oh, look, Al, I'm not asking you to spy, just asking you to steal." He also works closely with SIA department head, Noah Bain ('70s TV mainstay, Malachi Throne), his boss, aide, friend and watchdog. Technically under house arrest, Mundy then travels the world over, performing daring acts of thievery in the name of Uncle Sam. But thievery skills are an asset in the world of espionage, so Mundy is pardoned when he agrees to use his wily ways to help steal for the SIA, an American espionage agency. Stealing to finance his life as a playboy and sophisticate, Alexander Mundy (Wagner) was the world's greatest cat burglar.

MEGALOCEROS GIGANTEUS A SET OF GREAT IRISH DEER ANTLERS AND SKULL mounted on a timber shield. Its range extended across Eurasia, from Ireland to northern Asia and Africa, but a related form is also recorded from China during the Late Pleistocene. In body size, the Irish Elk matched the extant moose subspecies of Alaska (Alces alces gigas) as the largest known deer. The Irish elk (Megaloceros giganteus) was a species of Megaloceros and one of the largest deer that ever lived. The Irish elk, or Megaloceros giganteus, ranged across northern Eurasia from Siberia to Ireland and shed its giant antlers every year. The Irish Elk stood about 2.1 metres (6.9 ft) tall at the shoulders carrying the largest antlers of any known cervid, a maximum of 3.65 m (12.0 ft) from tip to tip and weighing up to 40 kg (88 lb). For this reason, the name "Giant Deer" is sometimes preferred. Although most skeletons have been found in Irish bogs, the animal was not exclusively Irish and was not closely related to either of the living species currently called elk. ![]() ![]() ![]() The origin of “ tempest in a teapot” extends back to the writings of Cicero in 52 B.C.E. “John thinks that the entire engine is blown, but I think he’s making a tempest in a teapot.
