    Indian Patent Flooring (IPS) is a normal type of concrete flooring.

    Construction procedure:

    • Make reference level on the wall. It is transferred across all the floor area.
    • Flooring thickness to be marked and also dummy level dots should be provided in every 1 to 2m
    • After proper setting, concrete of desired mix should be poured in panels to minimize shrinkage cracks.
    • After pouring level the surface with trowel.
    • Allow it to harden for about 36 hours
    • For gloosy and smooth IPS flooring, neat cement pinning, 2 to 3 mm thick is spread over the concrete surface and allowed to soak.
