To smooth concrete slabs, steel deck or precast planks, use Dura-Cap.® It’s formulated to cap rough, pitted, cracked and out-of-level concrete. In renovation projects, it can be poured directly over old tile and adhesive residue. Gyp-Crete 2000® and Dura-Cap can also be used over a special encapsulant to abate vinyl asbestos tile. Consult your Maxxon® dealer for more details on this safe and extremely cost-effective method of abatement.

Fast drying Commercial Topping® is poured from a feather-edge to 3" (76 mm), in new construction or renovation projects. With compressive strengths of 4000 psi (27.4 MPa) to 4500 psi (31 MPa), it’s the ideal underlayment to meet ASTM F 710, “Preparing Concrete to Receive Resilient Flooring”. Plus it pours over VAT, VCT, terrazzo or ceramic, with no shotblasting required. For the ultimate strong, smooth finish over concrete, precast, steel deck, wood frame, and old, cracked lightweight, specify Commercial Topping.

Therma-Floor® is a gypsum underlayment designed to pour over hot water tubes or electric heating cables. It acts as the thermal mass for any radiant floor system. Therma-Floor encases the tubes or cables in crack resistant, non-combustible gypsum. Its special formula resists breakdown to 150 °F (66 °C). And because it’s poured only 11⁄4" (32 mm) thick, the heating system is more responsive and more comfortable.

Engineered to deliver compressive strengths up to 3200 psi (22.1 MPa), Gyp-Crete 2000/3.2K also delivers enhanced resistance to surface abrasions and even faster drying time. It’s ideal for use over wood or concrete subfloors in single-family, light commercial and multifamily construction, as well as renovation projects. And its crack-resistant surface provides a perfect base for practically any floor covering.

SOLUTIONSGET TO KNOW MAXXON

INSTALLING MAXXON® UNDERLAYMENTSGeneralEnvironmental ConditionsMaxxon® underlayments are for interior use only and should not be poured directly over metal forms or over a plastic vapor barrier. Before, during and after installation, building interior shall be enclosed and maintained at a temperature above 50 °F (10 °C).

Subfloor RequirementsThe wood, concrete, or metal subfloor shall be structurally sound, broom clean and contaminant free. The subfloor must be adequate to withstand live and dead loads with a deflection limitation of L/360. Before installation, general contractor shall inspect the wood floor for proper nailing. Any wood weakened or delaminated during construction shall be replaced. Stud wall baseplates in doorways and other openings are to be removed.

Methods of InstallationGyp-Crete® and Gyp-Crete 2000®/3.2KGyp-Crete is to be poured after the drywall is installed. Gyp-Crete 2000 may be poured before or after drywall installation. The minimum thickness varies with the type of floor system:

19/32” (15 mm) [5/8”] 16 –19.2” o.c. (406 – 487 mm) 3/4” (19 mm)

19/32” (15 mm) [5/8”] 19.2 – 24” o.c. (487 – 610 mm) 1” (25 mm)

Minimum wood frame construction is agency-approved 19/32" (15 mm), 40/20 veneer and non-veneer wood subfloors.

Preferred wood frame construction is 3/4" (19 mm) of underlayment over 3/4" (19 mm) tongue-and-groove, agency-approved subfloor with truss, joist or beam spacings of 16" to 24" (406 mm - 609 mm) on-center.

Over concrete, the minimum thickness of Gyp-Crete is 1/2" (13 mm). For Gyp-Crete 2000, the minimum thickness is usually 1/2" (13 mm). The 1.4 mix design can be featheredged.

Therma-Floor®The thickness of Therma-Floor varies with the type of radiant floor heating system. Therma-Floor is poured to a depth that is 3/4” (19 mm) above the tops of the tubes or cables. It can be poured before or after drywall is installed.

Dura-Cap®and Commercial ToppingOver concrete, the minimum thickness is usually 3/8" (10 mm). However, the 1.4 mix design can be featheredged. Over wood frame construction, the minimum thickness is 3/4" (19 mm). It can be poured before or after drywall.
