| | Substrate Prep/Install |
 | | These substrates are not suitable for the installation of ARDEX underlayments or toppings, as they do not provide a solid, structural surface which can serve as a substrate. |
 | | Smooth, dense and solid substrates such as burnished concrete, ceramic and quarry tile, natural stone, cementitious and epoxy terrazzo, and solidly bonded epoxy coatings can be smoothed with an ARDEX underlayment prior to the installation of new flooring. |
 | | The surface of these substrates must be clean and free of all contaminants including oil, grease, wax, etc. Due to the non-porous character of these substrates, sealers, dressing and surface treatments can often be completely removed effectively using professional stripping agents. |
