Andeh Posted yesterday at 17:54 Posted yesterday at 17:54 We have had to have our garage door track replaced due to issue with the sliding door sticking. Hormann & garage door company have been brilliant over the years, but I do now need to try and tidy up the 'final solution' which was grind the floor flat and relay the track. I now need to tidy up this small trench, with the track installed... It is entirely no removable. I just want to improve it visually, and will then repaint with epoxy floor paint. Any tips? Thin concrete mix? Reinforced? Any other clever ideas? Thanks....
Andeh Posted yesterday at 18:24 Author Posted yesterday at 18:24 That's what I'm leaning towards, building a small dam with foam tape or equiv and fill the void? Any ultra high strength ones? Should I prime the floor first?
Conor Posted yesterday at 19:06 Posted yesterday at 19:06 Is the track higher than the floor level? If so then just pour the SLC upto the current floor level and work gently with a flat trowel. Just make sure the channel is cleared of dust, dampen a bit with a sprayer or wet sponge. No need to prime. Tape over the track to protect it 1
Andeh Posted yesterday at 20:15 Author Posted yesterday at 20:15 (edited) Thanks Conor! That is what I was hoping to hear. Track sits slightly higher, but I'll mask and dam it off slightly and level either side of it. Edited yesterday at 20:16 by Andeh
Nickfromwales Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago Just lay a strip of hardboard and use duct tape to go up the outside of the profile and wrap it over the hardboard (or a good stiff cardboard) and lap the two ties over each other on top. Pour the SLC and leave to cure, then cut the tape with a sharp Stanley knife where the SLC stops and remove. 1
Andeh Posted 2 hours ago Author Posted 2 hours ago Thanks, that'll be the plan! Is there anything more I can do for belt and braces, as it will be driven over daily? Additives to the SLC, priming with more then water etc?
