Ardex is the product line we specify when a floor slab must be dead flat or a thin overlay must bond seamlessly to old concrete. We install the full Ardex system, primer, body, topcoat, to the published spec, which means the warranty is real and the floor performs as tested. Every job starts with a free written estimate.
A decorative finish or resilient flooring is only as good as the slab it sits on. Ardex self-leveling underlayments (K-15, K-60) solve the problem by pouring a flat, stable base that takes any topcoat without showing the slab's imperfections underneath.
When an existing slab is too far gone to level, Ardex thin overlays (Feather Finish, SD-M, WJ-50) bond to prepared concrete and create a seamless new surface. This approach saves money compared to a full tear-out and pour. For spalled or damaged areas, Ardex repair mortars rebuild the concrete to a sound substrate.
We assess the slab condition, moisture profile and intended topcoat, then specify which Ardex product (leveler, overlay, repair or waterproofing) fits the job.
Prepare the concrete base
The slab is mechanically profiled to the Ardex spec, moisture tested, and primed with the manufacturer's primer system, not a substitute.
Apply primer, body and finish
Each layer of the Ardex system goes down in sequence at the correct temperature and timing, with proper curing between coats before the next layer begins.
Document and hand over
You receive product data sheets, application records and the install certification so the warranty is enforceable and the slab is fully documented.
Training and accountability
What Ardex Certified Installer Status Delivers
An Ardex Certified Installer has been trained on the product system, knows the failure modes, and installs to the full manufacturer warranty. For you, that means the work is done exactly as Ardex tested it, with no shortcuts on prep, primer or topcoat.
This same standards-first approach runs through every brand we work with, including Mapei, Sika and the rest of our product lineup. When you hire us for an Ardex job, you get a trained installer and a documented install.

Because the slab below the finish decides how the finish ages. Ardex K-15 and K-60 pour a flat, sound surface that takes a finish without telegraphing the slab below, which is exactly what a high-end floor needs.
Yes. Ardex Feather Finish, SD-M and WJ-50 overlays are designed to bond to prepared existing concrete and lay a thin, seamless surface over it, so a tired slab gets a new finished surface without a full tear-out.
Yes. Ardex Certified Installer status means we install to the full manufacturer system, primer through topcoat, so the product warranty is intact and the install does what Ardex says it will.
Ardex waterproofing is designed for below-grade and wet-room applications. We pair it with proper drainage and substrate prep so the system actually keeps water out, not just claims to.
It depends on the slab, the product line and the area. Ardex products carry a premium over generic alternatives because of their performance and warranty; we put the full system cost in a written, itemised quote after seeing the slab.

What Abbotsford Clients Say About Their Ardex Installs
Ardex self-leveler before our luxury vinyl plank. The floor came out perfectly flat, no lippage anywhere, and the finished install looks as good as the showroom.

Used Ardex overlay over a beat-up basement slab. New seamless surface, bonded properly, took the topcoat with no surprises. Worth the premium.

They are a certified Ardex installer so the warranty is real. Install was by the book, with the product sheets handed over at the end.

Ardex repair mortar saved us from a full slab replacement. They explained why it was the right call and the patched area has held up fine.
