Trimix, short for "tri-mix," refers to a blend of three different sizes of aggregates used in concrete flooring construction. These aggregates typically include coarse, medium, and fine particles, each serving a specific purpose in enhancing the performance and durability of the concrete floor.
The process begins with the preparation of the base or subgrade, which involves grading, compaction, and ensuring proper drainage to provide a stable foundation for the concrete slab
Once the base is prepared, concrete is poured onto the surface. Trimix concrete incorporates a carefully proportioned mix of aggregates, cement, water, and sometimes additives to achieve the desired strength, workability, and durability.
After the initial leveling and screeding of the concrete, power floating is performed to further smooth the surface and compact the concrete. This step helps remove imperfections and enhances the density and strength of the concrete./p>
The trimix process involves the use of specialized equipment, such as ride-on power trowels equipped with multiple blades or pans. These machines work to refine the surface of the concrete, achieving a high degree of flatness and smoothness.
