The advantages and disadvantages that a buyer need to know before purchasing Mkeka wa mbao vinyl flooring . DiSADVANTAGES 1. Mkeka wa Mbao™️ doesn’t like moisture from underneath and flooding , though it’s water proof on the surface the weakest point is water going under its surface, if flooding occurred you need to uninstall your Mkeka wa Mbao™️ dry it and re install it back . Here are signs of water damage 👇🏽 A. If glued the adhesive will become loose and the floor will bubble . B. Blackish spots will form on the Decorate surface. For areas with black cotton soil or swampy areas make Sure the moisture content Is the recommend one before installation . First, test the moisture level of the subfloor. In general, 12% moisture or above is too wet to install flooring Ideally it should be between 7% and 9%. Take the readings in at least 20 spots per 1,000 square feet of flooring and average the results. Mkeka wa Mbao cannot be installed on rough uneven surface the Subfloor must be smooth and level and if covering tiles with grouting joints fill the joint first. Buy the correct wear layer for your needs (foot traffic ) What is the wear layer for Mkeka wa mbao™️ vinyl flooring? When shopping for Mkeka wa mbao™️ vinyl flooring, all of the terms can be hard to keep track of! One question that gets asked most often is, what is the wear layer of Mkeka wa mbao™️ vinyl flooring? This is a very important question to consider when purchasing Mkeka wa mbao™️ vinyl flooring. So What is the Wear Layer? Put simply, the wear layer is the top surface that provides the durability, stain and scratch resistance of vinyl flooring. The wear layer is usually a clear, urethane based coating that keeps the original appearance of the floor and provides easy maintenance. With new technology, some vinyls now offer added durability layers on top of the wear layer for even more surface protection. Wear layers range from 0.15mm to 1mm . The wear layer will usually be recorded in millimeters MM . Which Wear Layer Measurement is Best? To decide on the best wear layer, you will need to determine the usage of the flooring. If you have pets, kids, or there is a lot of foot traffic in your home or workplace, you should opt for a thicker wear layer. In short, the thicker the wear layer, the more durable the floor. If you have a space that will need a high resistance to scratches and wear, a higher wear layer, such as a 0.40 up to 0.70mm, would be best for your application. Residential vinyl flooring applications start from 0.15 mm to 0.30mm . Light commercial vinyl flooring application start from wear layer of 0.40-0.55 Heavy Commercial vinyl flooring applications will usually require a 0.60mm – 1mm top layer. Beware of buying cheap flooring without knowing the wear layer ( some vendors do that ) use a digital caliper at floor decor to check wear layer . f. Use the recommended cleaning detergents some soaps are very abrasive avoid them (use liquid soap genuine ) remove Stains with Acetone . g.

What is Pre Stressed Concrete?
What is PRESTRESSED CONCRETE? In basic terms, prestressed concrete is concrete in which high strength steel reinforcement is stretched and anchored to improve the structural capacity. The internal stress created by the embedded steel reinforcement greatly improves the performance and service of the product. Why/when is it necessary to “STRESS” concrete? In general, concrete does not have good tensile strength, however, it performs well under compression. A traditional analogy often used to explain the concept originated with Dr. Mangel who likened prestressing to stacking books side by side and placing pressure on both ends. The pressure exerted on the books creates so much strength that the books could be lifted as a single unit and could also support great loads on top without breaking apart. The very same concept is repeated with prestressed concrete products. How does the process of PRESTRESSING occur? The process of prestressing involves high strength steel tendons or “strand”, typically of low relaxation 270 kps type steel to be pulled to a predetermined, engineered spec and then concrete is cast over the strand and allowed to harden or cure. The strand is then cut at each end releasing the prestressing force into the product by way of its “bond” with the concrete. The internal force then allows the concrete to span greater distances and be loaded with greater weight. What are some of the benefits of PRESTRESSING concrete? Allows for the reduction in mild reinforcement Aids in controlling cracking Allows for longer spans in a single piece instead of the need for multiple pieces Allows for greater load carrying capacity What are some types of products that utilize PRESTRESSING?

Introducing Beam 2 beam flooring system (BBF)
BEAM TO BEAM FLOORING SYSTEM –FLOOR DÉCOR KENYA INTRODUCTION Beam-to-beam flooring (BBF) can be described as an economic, safe and functional system currently being utilized in slab construction both locally and internationally. It comprises of high performance pre-stressed concrete beams, concrete hollow blocks and a topping that work together to result in a robust slab. The pre-stressed concrete T-beams have a 100mm wide and 50mm deep flange with a web that is 50mm wide and 100mm deep. It is these T-beam joists that work in tandem with the concrete hollow blocks to support the 50mm topping and all manner of design loads imposed on them. How it works The hollow blocks used in this system have a high compressive load i.e. 7N/mm2 thus function as structural elements unlike your typical hollow blocks that function as “fillers” meant to achieve required structural depth. These hollow blocks lock by 100mm on either side of the pre-stressed concrete beams. The load path is therefore from the topping to the hollow blocks to the pre-stressed beams to the reinforced concrete beams of that particular floor to the columns and finally to the foundations. Production The pre-stressed concrete T-beams are cast in a pre-stressing yard where all the necessary design parameters are controlled to achieve a high quality product. A concrete mix design that achieves class 60 i.e. a compressive load of 60N/mm2 is used. 5mm tendons are stretched between stable end-anchorage points and concreted over a casting bed before being allowed to sufficiently cure. The tendons are released after the concrete has achieved minimum desired strength. The length requirements for each beam is determined prior to casting to avoid wastage. Usually, all stresses induced by loads on reinforced concrete structures are mainly carried by reinforcement bars. However, in pre-stressed members such as the beams in BBF the stresses are induced in the entire member. The end result is a structural product that is better at managing vibrations and shocks compared to conventional concrete. Applications Pre-stressing is typically used to allow for longer spans and/or minimize the structural depth of beams and slabs. Pre-stressed elements are commonly used in the following areas, span being a major consideration; floor beams, bridges, water tanks, runways, roofs, railroad ties, poles etc. A key benefit is that pre-stressed concrete elements can more economically span longer distances than conventionally-reinforced concrete elements. This is of benefit in infrastructure e.g. bridges as well as in buildings with respect to beams and slabs. Benefits The benefits of utilizing BBF system are: Foundation excavation – The system minimizes mass excavation that would have otherwise been performed underneath the ground slab for sites situated in areas with predominant expansive soils such as black cotton soil. This means that it minimizes labor cost that would have been incurred for doing the actual excavation and consequently backfilling of the same. Transportation for hauling the excavated material to a dumpsite is also eliminated. Steel fixing- BBF system realizes a time and labor cost saving that would have been incurred in cut and bend for reinforcement bars of the slab and concreting for the same. Construction material – BBF system eliminates the need to use BRC mesh in the topping but rather uses fibre mesh. This saves cost for the client as fibre mesh is significantly cheaper compared to BRC mesh. It also eliminates labor that would have been incurred in handling BRC mesh on site. Shuttering and propping – It reduces the traditional use of shuttering and props because the concrete hollow block lock onto the pre-stressed beams that in turn rest of reinforced concrete beams of a building’s floor. Essentially, only the reinforced concrete floor beams remain propped. Increased head-room – There is an increased floor to floor height because the floor system rests on top of the reinforced concrete beams of the building’s frame. Sound insulation – The concrete hollow blocks help in insulating the slab by breaking sound waves resulting in buildings that are quieter. Fire rating – The pre-stressed beams in BBF help in increasing the fire rating of buildings due to the large cover provided for the tendons. Assembly time – There is time saving realized with BBF system because the elements are pre-cast. Assembly takes a very short time resulting in faster construction timelines. This positively impacts program of works. Structural benefits – The pre-stressed beams minimize potential cracks, decreases the risk that would have been presented by reinforcement corrosion and also lengthens the service life of a building. created by photogrid created by photogrid created by photogrid Beam 2 Beam ConstructionConstruction DevelopmentPrecast Technology Previous Post Constructing on Black cotton soil in Kenya Next Post What is Pre Stressed Concrete?

Constructing on Black cotton soil in Kenya
CUT COST by 50% BY USE OF SUSPENDED FOUNDATION. Constructing on Black cotton soil in Kenya. Black cotton soil is found abundantly in most regions in Kenya. Black cotton soil tends to soak water during the rainy season and expand and shrink during the dry season. This expansion and shrinkage creates up and down movements on the ground floor slab, resulting to cracks, wall paint peel off , due to moisture some ceramic tiles discolor and Vinyl floor (mkeka wa Mbao ) get black spots on Surface . To prevent this cracking, the black cotton soil is either excavated at a minimum depth of 1m or the building foundation raised and suspended above the ground level. 1.5m minimum depth. Generally, if the black cotton soil is more than 1.5m in depth, its uneconomical to excavate it. This requires a suspended type of foundation whereby columns are dug till solid rock and protrude slightly above the ground level. BBF flooring (beam 2 beam flooring system ) is the way to go to cover the suspended foundation . BBF flooring eliminates ☀️zero Timber (no form works) 🌟zero Rebar use 🌟No 21 days curing ( BBF flooring system installed within hrs / day and start plastering works and brick works . 🌟Saves water .

Sub-standard goods threaten floor products
Milliam Murigi@millymur1 Why should one make the right decision when it comes to purchase and installation of flooring materials? Flooring is a crucial element in the housing industry and this cannot be overstated. Flooring influences many factors that ultimately have an impact on whether space is well used or not. Many beautiful floors don’t function as they should, simply because the flooring finish was wrong or impractical. It is important to realise that although our first interaction with space is a visual one, the actual physical contact a person will have with space will be the floor. What are the common flooring mistakes homeowners make? The biggest goof many customers make is pursuit of low prices at the expense of quality. Few know that usually, the cheaper the price, the lower the quality. Another blunder is that many buyers aren’t after well-known brands in flooring materials, yet brand is key. Never go for unknown brands because the quality of the product might be compromised. Also, some customers go for the right flooring, but install it in the wrong places and they are often disappointed. Others use inexperienced workers. Most people don’t even know that different flooring works best for different lifestyles. What should one consider before settling for any flooring product? The weather pattern should guide you on the kind of flooring to install. Floor traffic is another consideration because for residential flooring, the wear layer is different from that for commercial flooring. In commercial flooring, the wear layer is always higher since the thicker the wear layer, the more durable the floor. For slippery surfaces, you need to look for slip-resistant products. Be keen to examine the ratings, which are always marked by symbol R from R 9 to R 12. The higher the number, the better. Tell us more about a floor product dubbed Mkeka wa Mbao. This is one of the products we sell. Others are Forbo Marmoleum Linoleum, Flotex and Pergo. In total, we have 20 designs of flooring products and Beau Flor, popularly known as Mkeka Wa Mbao has become so popular because its affordability, it is 100 per cent waterproof, easy to install and comes in different textures. Moreover, it is soft for the feet and warm. Most clients are bracing for climate change impact by buying products that keep buildings warm. Conventional floorings are cold, slippery and tedious to install. What environmentally friendly solutions is industry inventing? Of late we have seen a reinvention of environmentally friendly flooring with beautiful designs. The products are made from natural products with zero or little impact on our environment. These include Forbo Marmoleum Linoleum, bamboo and cork, among others. Most of them have anti-microbial properties that reduce allergens in the home, an added advantage. What are the new trends? PVC and Epoxy flooring have been reinvented, with new and beautiful designs. Ceramic tiles with digital prints and new washable carpets are also coming up. We are also seeing a reinvention of environmentally friendly products. Definitely the internet has had a positive impact on the sector. People are now aware of alternatives to convention flooring, something which would have taken ages before. We are also quickly learn about new products introduced to the market. What challenges do you face? The increase of substandard products is the biggest challenge. For our business, inspection and transportation delays are a headache. Initially, I used to import the products and within 40 days they used to be ready for collection at the Inland Container Deport. But ever since the introduction of overseas inspection and re-inspection at inland container by Kenya Bureau of Standards, the process takes more than 60 days. Delays to collect a container attracts a storage fee of Sh6,000 daily per container. Published on Peoples Daily Kenya.

Forbo® Marmoleum Linoleum Flooring Helping to win the fight against Hospital Acquired Infections
Healthcare is among the most challenging environments for the Admission and Discharge community to service, and with good reason. Interior finishes must be hygienic and provide for the health and safety of patients, visitors and staff. The flooring must be tough enough to withstand the daily, around-the-clock pounding from rolling and foot traffic and still be easy to maintain. When designing healthcare facilities, we think of safety, function and aesthetics, sterile environments are meant to be safe and germ/bacteria free. Marmoleum Linoleum is a floor covering that meets these criteria and is no stranger to designers. Introduced more than a century ago, today’s linoleum is harkening a new generation of specifiers as a durable, all-natural alternative to resilient flooring. Marmoleum ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria stems from the natural raw materials that go into its production, namely linseed oil,pine resin ,wood floor and jute . An inherent property of the product, the anti-bacterial qualities of Marmoleum won’t diminish over time, giving peace of mind and constant protection from the moment it is installed. Marmoleum Linoleum has received the British Allergy Foundation’s Seal of Approval due to the fact that they do not harbour bacteria or dust mites, contributing to healthier indoor environments. The major attribute of marmoleum that makes it applicable to medical centers and hospitals is its sheet production. The sheet application allows for minimal seams and, therefore, offers less opportunity for bacteria to hide in grout lines or floor seams. Additionally, this allows for better maintenance options than other flooring. Linoleum is made from natural materials such as linseed oil, jute, cork powders and tree resins. The product is antistatic, hypoallergenic and does not emit potentially harmful VOCs, so it contributes to good indoor air quality. Similar to other resilient floors, linoleum comes in multiple fresh hues, and the color and pattern extend through the entire thickness of the product. When specified in roll goods, marmoleum allows for flowing designs and adds natural influences to otherwise harsh environments. Like resilient and rubber, marmoleum can be waterjet cut with intricate patterns and inlays. Forbo® Marmoleum flooring is considered to be an asthma and allergy friendly flooring choice. In fact, Marmoleum flooring is the only floor covering that is certified to be allergy and asthma friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America® (AAFA), making it is safe for adults, children, and pets with allergies or asthma. Floor Décor Kenya offers a full portfolio of products suitable for use in general circulation areas within healthcare establishments. From reception areas and corridors which are subject to heavy footfall, to canteens and family waiting rooms that require a more relaxed atmosphere we have a range of products to meet your needs.
