HTC Flooring is now available in New Zealand and Hard yards are the local applicators for the HTC Superfloor system™  in the BOP - Bay of Plenty / Central North Island.
Hard Yards can create a high gloss finish to your floor giving you a customised look that requires absolutely no maintenance at all and lasts forever!


Is your concrete floor or floor coatings suffering from cracking, spalling, peeling, delaminating or just general deterioration?
Do you have a new concrete floor that you want dust proof, hardened, stain resistant and/or highly polished?
Hard Yards will come to the rescue by specifying a system that will economically restore and enhance the integrity and appearance of your floor.
These densifying and sealing systems combined with associated contracting company Hard Yards, have the ability to coarse grind which enables the removal of old deteriorating surfaces, exposing new concrete before polishing to the desired finish. Using leading edge, high performance grinding equipment and superior diamond technology, Hard Yards has the ability to handle large projects efficiently and economically.

Hard Yards recently used the HTC superfloor system locally for Julians Berry Farm on Hona Road, Whakatane

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hard Yards can offer a variety of finishes to meet your needs and budget:

Standard - A hardened dust proof floor with a low sheen. This finish is a durable and cost effective floor that will last for many years. This is suitable for warehouses and factories.

Premium - An economical floor with good stain resistance, ideal for manufacturing plants and distribution centres.

Ultra - The most popular finish and less expensive than most coatings. This finish is high gloss, stain resistant and easy to maintain.

Extreme - This finish is a very high gloss floor that really enhances the natural beauty of concrete and is a perfect finish for showrooms, offices and reception areas.

C² Seal™ stain resistant against acids, fats, grease, and oils
C² Super Hard™ & C² Seal™ reduce or eliminate ASR due to high lithium content. High concentrations of sodium or potassium salts which can contribute to surface crazing and surface ASR are absent
C² Super Hard™ & C² Seal™ are Planet Safe, water based, contains no solvents, non-toxic, no smell, non-mutagenic & non-carcinogenic (safe in food preparation areas), non flammable, fast drying, easy to apply.

C² Tint™

C2 Tint™ is designed to penetrate deep into the pores of horizontal concrete to provide a beautiful translucent coloured surface. C2 Tint™ is the second part of a three step process that transforms dull looking surfaces into a colourful, decorative, polished concrete. After treating the concrete with C2 Super Hard™ , the premium lithium hardener and densifier, C2 Tint™ is applied to the surface of a concrete floor and is fast drying.

This product has excellent application qualities for both new and existing concrete. C2 Tint™ is a non-flammable water based formulation that penetrates and colours concrete surfaces without the risk of etching the surface or corroding metals. C2 Tint™ can be used as a single coat or in layers over grey, integrally coloured, acid stained or colour hardened concrete to produce an unlimited range of colour tones.

The C2 Tint™ system is a three component combination that includes C2 Super Hard™ , C2 Tint™ and C2 Seal™ . In addition, C2 Tint™ is environmentally friendly and is easy to clean and maintain.

Colour.
C2 Tint™ is available in thirteen standard colours that can be intermixed to achieve an even broader colour range. C2 Tint™ is made up of tiny molecules that penetrate deeper into the concrete than conventional colour pigments or acid stains.
Permanent impregnated colour will not flake or peel off. Multiple coats of C2 Seal™ will increase the colour intensity and controlled drying allowing colour to be added and blended without the risk of streaking.
Compatible with all C2 lithium hardeners, densifiers, sealers and cleaners.
Easy to use with application by brush, spray or spread with a microfiber pad.
Versatile. Suitable for use on new and existing concrete, regardless of age. C2 Tint™ does not reduce slip resistance and can be applied to any horizontal concrete surface.
Environmentally safe water based product with no solvents, toxins or odours. Complies with all known USA national, state and district AIM VOC regulations. C2 Tint™ is nonflammable, non-mutagenic and carcinogenic (safe in food preparation areas).

C² Tint™ Standard Colours

Mocha	Light Roast	Espresso	Rose Quartz	Painted Desert	Red Rock
Ocean Blue	Blue Stone	Amethyst	Georgia Clay	Brown Stone	Concrete Gray

     
Colour swatches are only an approximation of the actual colours. All concrete is unique and the final results may vary. Test samples must be applied before applications.

C² Line™

C2 Line™ is a high performance coating developed for the application of safety line striping and safety areas on industrial and commercial concrete floors. This water based product does not require a primer and delivers a high gloss, UV stable and fast drying finish. C2 Line™ will stand up to the most demanding wear in high traffic and maintenance cleaning areas. In addition C2 Line™ has impressive abrasion resistance qualities.

C2 Line™ is ideal for applying to new, cured or existing concrete floors. The solid colours of this product will complement the translucent qualities of C2 Tint™. Alternatively, just C2 Line™ can be applied onto the finished concrete surface. C2 Line™ is an environmentally friendly product that is easy to clean and maintain.

C² Stain Safe™

C2 Stain Safe™ is an outstanding water and oil repellent that prevents surface staining on most substrates without trapping moisture. The modified saline system provides invisible protection and low surface instability, without film or gloss. C2 Stain Safe™ forms a resilient chloride barrier that reduces surface erosion and corrosion in reinforced concrete caused by water and water carried salts.

The molecular structure of C2 Stain Safe™ allows for maximum penetration with coverage rates higher than that of conventional salines. Depth of penetration is controlled by the application rate. C2 Stain Safe™ is ideal for long lasting protection, without colour change of concrete, polished concrete, granite and other dense colour sensitive surfaces.

C2 Stain Safe™ complies with all known USA national and state AIM VOC regulations but is not recommended for asphalt or non-masonry materials, below grade applications or use under hydrostatic pressure. Always test before using this product on limestone and marble.

C² Stain Clean™

C2 Stain Clean™ is a highly effective poultice cleaner for removing even old deeply embedded oil and grease stains from concrete, pavers, stone and other porous surfaces, without discolouration or leaving a residue. C2 Stain Clean™ works by forming a poultice, once applied, there is no mixing, scrubbing, trowelling or plastic covering required. Once C2 Stain Clean™ penetrates the surface it forms a continuous solution. As it dries, C2Stain Clean™ absorbs the stain out of the substrate and captures it in a highly absorbent blend of thick surfactant, solvents and powers. After five to eight hours the dry poultice is able to be swept up and disposed of. C2 Stain Clean™ is ideal for use on concrete, blocks, pavers, bricks and tiles. It is also safe to use on granite, marble, travertine and limestone. However C2 Stain Clean™ is not recommended for use on asphalt surfaces.

What Is ASR?

C² lithium hardeners will prevent or reduce Alkali Silica Reactivity (ASR). Silica in the aggregate reacts with alkalis in hydrated cement to form a gel that expands when water is introduced. This reaction produces huge pressures that cause cracks to develop in concrete – cracks that lead to accelerated deterioration of the surface protective layer. These cracks and micro-cracks allow water to penetrate into the substrate, causing corrosion of reinforcing steel, freeze thaw damage, and other problems. C² lithium hardeners will help keep moisture out of the substrate and prevent occurrence of a chemical reaction between alkalis, silica and moisture. ASR reactions will not occur without water.
