Renovation of a Historic Apartment in Vienna

This renovation presented several challenges that required meticulous planning and advanced flooring solutions:

• Significant level differences in the newly poured screed, necessitating the use of UZIN NC 182 for spot leveling and FusionTec levelling compound UZIN NC 580 for overall leveling.
• Time constraints, where the fast-drying UZIN NC 580 proved indispensable.
• Some areas of the screed were freshly poured, requiring:
  • UZIN PE 414 BiTurbo as a primer for rapid curing.
  • UZIN PE 280 for non-absorbent subfloors.
  • Cracks and movement joints, especially near doorways, were decoupled with UZIN RR 203 and then leveled using UZIN NC 182.
• Full-surface bonding of the herringbone parquet with UZIN MK 200 ensured a durable and high-quality finish.

To address the challenges, a step-by-step approach was implemented:

1. Leveling the subfloor:
   • Significant level differences were corrected using the stable low-slump cementitious rapid repair mortar UZIN NC 182 for precise spot leveling.
   • The fast-drying FuisionTec premium leveling compound UZIN NC 580 was applied for an even surface across the entire apartment.
2. Primer solutions for varying subfloor conditions:
   • Freshly poured screed was primed with UZIN PE 414 BiTurbo to ensure rapid readiness.
   • Non-absorbent areas were treated with UZIN PE 280.
   • All cracks and movement joints were decoupled with UZINRR 203, providing long-term stability.
3. Herringbone parquet installation: The oak parquet was fully bonded using UZIN MK 200, delivering a premium, stable finish.

To bring out the full charm of this historic apartment, we needed products that could handle uneven subfloors, tight timelines, and high-quality demands. UZIN NC 580 and UZIN MK 200 were the perfect combination to achieve a flawless result.
