VDF Flooring
also known as Vacuum Dewatered Flooring is a special type of Flooring Technique to achieve High Strength, Longer Life, Better Finish and Faster Work. This type of floor is suitable for high abrasion & heavy traffic movement.
In this system, concrete is poured in place & vibrated with a Poker vibrator. Then a screed vibrator is run over the surface, supported on channel shuttering spaced 4.0 meters apart. The screed vibrator is run twice to achieve optimum compaction & levelling. After this a system of lower mats & top mat is laid on the green concrete & this is attached to a vacuum pump. This draws out excess water. The concrete is left to stiffen. When the base concrete has stiffened to the point when light foot traffic leaves an imprint of about 3-6 mm,a suitable Floor Hardener should be applied at an even application rate of between 3-5 Kg/Sqmt.
Any bleed water should now have evaporated, but the concrete should have a wet sheen. The concrete is then furt
her compacted and levelled using Power Floater followed by finishing as per the requirement using Power Trowel.

What is the ratio for vdf flooring?
The Vacuum Dewatered Flooring or VDF Flooring is a system for laying high quality concrete floors where the key is Dewatering of Concrete by Vacuum Process wherein surplus water from the concrete is removed immediately after placing and vibration, thereby reducing the water: cement ratio to the optimum level.
Which IS code has tolerance limit of VDF flooring?
The tolerance limits for VDF (Vapor Diffusion Resistant) flooring are specified in IS 456:2000, which is the Indian Standard for plain and reinforced concrete. This code outlines the permissible deviations in construction dimensions, surface flatness, and levelness for concrete floors, including VDF. It is essential to follow these guidelines to ensure the quality and durability of the flooring. Always refer to the latest version of the code for any updates or changes.
What is the thickness of the concrete for vdf flooring?
The thickness of concrete for a VDF (Vapor Diffusion Floor) flooring typically ranges from 4 to 6 inches, depending on the specific application and load requirements. For industrial and commercial settings, thicker slabs may be used to accommodate heavier loads or increased durability. Proper reinforcement and curing methods are also essential to ensure the floor's performance and longevity.
What is difference between ips flooring and vdf flooring?
An IPS(Indian Patent Stone) Floor, is generally used over terraces in general, to achieve an economical and water sloping finish with a decent monolithic appearance.... However the IPS finish may even be used for other interior and semi-interior areas as the need may be, but in areas, where required structural strength by a floor would be more eg. Car Parks, Workshops and Driveways, a similar kind of a multi-layered flooring using lean concrete in a different proportion altogether may be utilised......Unlike IPS, a VDF floor calls for a more skilled labour with almost twice as many man hours over the same stretch..... This system raises the cost as there is machinery required, but appearance wise and strength wise the VDF (Vacuum Dewatered Floor) floor stands out...... The VDF is generally done with a base layer of lean concrete with suitable expansion joints executed with rubber or steel strips... Then a screed vibrator is run over the surface, supported on channel shuttering spaced 4.0 meters apart. The screed vibrator is run twice to achieve optimum compaction & leveling. After this a system of lower mats & top mat is laid on the green concrete & this is attached to a vacuum pump. This draws out excess water.
