8 2020 SOUTHWEST BUILDINGS & FACILITIES MANAGEMENT SHOW & CONFERENCE Multifamily EZ Renovation System: Easy as 1-2-3 Sound Crete Contractors save owners time and money with Gyp-Crete ®

Maxxon revolutionized the construction industry with the invention of Gyp-Crete ® as a UL Fire-Rated replacement to lightweight concrete in multi- family construction. Inevitably, life will take its toll on those apartment subfloors, requiring unavoidable, costly renovations. Upon removal of the existing flooring, one or more common underlayment may be uncovered: • Dusty, soft gypsum or light- weight concrete that makes bonding with modern flooring and adhesives difficult • Significant cracks or areas of varying elevation • Areas of debonded gyp- sum underlayment completely exposing the sound mat or subfloor

Fortify Primer. Repair, don’t replace, the old, dusty gypsum or lightweight concrete sub- floor with Maxxon Fortify con- solidating primer. Two coats of Fortify will leave a strong, “like-new” surface ready for a leveling underlayment in ap- proximately 2 hours. Step 2: Pour Maxxon Level EZ self-leveling underlay- ment. Level EZ will flatten and smooth out floors at 1/4”, and is floor-goods ready next day. Step 3: Place Acousti-Top sound control mat. Loose laid or glued down with floor goods installed directly on top, Acousti-Top offers sound con- trol without added floor height. CASE STUDY When the owner of a 24 unit building in Phoenix AZ, decid-

ed to renovate, it soon became apparent that the floors of the second level units were in bad shape. Significantly cracked, damaged and debonded, the owner thought they were going to need to rip out and replace the old gypsum un- derlayment, which would have taken approximately 4 weeks to complete. The owner called on the experts at Sound Crete Contractors, who saw a text- book opportunity for the Multi- family EZ Renovation System. The project was completed in 2 days, saving the owners an estimated $34,000 in lost revenue.

• No sound mat in areas of carpet-to-hard surface conver- sions Traditional repair methods have historically meant choos- ing between extensive down- time or a temporary fix that must be repeated with each flooring change; neither option offering the opportunity meet or maintain UL Fire Design compliance, potentially put- ting the building owner in legal jeopardy. Maxxon makes multifamily renovations as easy as 1-2-3 with the Multifamily EZ Reno- vation System. Step 1 : Prime with Maxxon
