Renovation mortars
The power of renovation mortars: less demolition, smarter thinking
Why remove old floors when they can be refurbished? Renovation is significantly more sustainable because it prevents a lot of waste (costs) and allows construction to proceed faster. Our renovation mortars offer a solution that no one else has: walkable after two hours, load-bearing after four hours, and tileable after twelve hours. In addition, with our products, you can effortlessly apply different layer thicknesses in a single operation: from a few millimeters to substantial demolition damage of up to 50 mm. This eliminates many separate actions, speeding up the process even more. In short, the ideal renovation solution when the floor needs to be quickly available again for residents or commercial use.

Why is it important to prepare the surface?
- you can often finish it with a simple primer.
- OR you may have to further remove the surface, for example in the case of loose parts.
- OR you still have to pre-process by so-called dust-free “shot blasting”. This removes the top layer and any contamination from the surface and "roughens it", or increases the surface area for better adhesion. Excellent for all kinds of leveling compounds and screed floor mortars to adhere to.
What is the difference between a leveling and renovation mortar?
In many cases, a renovation mortar is a product with a comparable processing as a leveling mortar, but a renovation mortar can handle a greater layer thickness. And sometimes renovation mortars are provided with additional additives or auxiliary materials to make them more suitable for floors with different substrates or widely varying layer thicknesses in a floor field.
Is it always necessary to demolish the old, existing floor?
Too often, an “old” floor is completely demolished to ultimately create a new floor that is suitable for the final finish.
