Dur-A-Flex's Hybri-Flex™ line of high-performance, seamless flooring systems was recently named a winner in the Decorative Concrete category of the 2010 World of Concrete Most Innovative Product contest held in Las Vegas, Nevada earlier this year. Held each year, the MIP Award program showcases many of the new products exhibited and highlights the innovation they bring to the industry. The winners will be announced in the May issue of Concrete Constructions and the June issue of Concrete & Masonry Construction Projects.

The innovation of Hybri-Flex™ systems begins with a built-in moisture mitigation system making it a winner for contractors seeking a time and money-saving option. Each system can continuously handle moisture pressure up to 12 lbs. throughout the life of the floor, thus eliminating the need to install an expensive separate mitigation system required by most moisture-fighting solutions. This feature also allows installation of the floor as soon as 5 - 7 days after the concrete is poured, making it the ideal choice for fast-track construction projects. The double savings allows contractors to beat project timelines, commit to more projects and focus on other areas of their business.

Ranging in thickness from 3/16" to ¼", Hybri-Flex™ systems offer facility owners excellent impact resistance and thermal cycling. In most cases, its high tolerance of surface contaminants and tenacious bonding also eliminates the need for priming. Various levels of stain and wear resistance, UV resistance, and surface textures and finishes are available in a wide variety of both standard and custom colors. All Hybri-Flex™ systems are designed with sustainability in mind to assist in achieving credits on LEED projects.

Hybri-Flex™ flooring systems consist of a self-leveling, cementitious urethane base coat combined with one or more epoxy, methyl methacrylate (MMA), or poly-aspartic topcoats. The innovation is in the flexibility offered by these many combinations that allows specifiers to custom design a floor to meet the exact needs of the customer. Whether it's epoxy for economy, fast-curing MMA for a speedy installation, or odor-free poly-aspartics, there's a Hybri-Flex™ system for every need.

Hybri-Flex™ systems are the most feature-packed flooring systems available on the market today offering customers both peace-of-mind and high performance in one.
