Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003037584
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Systems and methods for finishing top surfaces of concrete filled access floor panels include the application of at least one material to a top surface of an access floor panel. The top surface may be prepared by grinding and cleaning prior to application of material. Stains, primers, concretes, epoxies, polyurethanes, clear coats, or other finishing materials may be applied to create a plurality of layers on the surface of the floor panel, producing different aesthetically pleasing, or well performing finished surfaces. After application, the materials may be subjected to infrared light, ultraviolet light, or forced air to accelerate drying or curing. The materials may be applied, dried, and cured in an automated production line while the floor panel moves along a conveyor.
