    Snow Melt System, Hydronic

    Product Detail:
  • Custom engineered Snow Melt System for concrete, using a Propelyne Glycol and a hot water Boiler, with a PEX Piped System, and Hydronic accessories.

  • More efficient, lower operating costs, and more suitable for larger square footage areas (such as a whole driveway) than electrical snow melt systems.

  • For the $500 we'll spec and engineer the the complete Hydronic System and Layout, plus specify exactly which components and equipment needed for you.

  • Can also be used to heat (and cool) indoor flooring, such as basements or under tile.

  • If the system components are purchased through us as well, the $500 will count towards the total cost of the equipment.



  • What we need from you:
    • A rough diagram of the area, with dimensions of the area needing the snow melt system.
    • We need measurements of the distance to the area designated for the boiler and hydronic components, and how large of an area they will be located in.
    • The room that will contain the boiler will need to have proper air intake and exhaust, so we'll need to know the distance to exterior walls from that room, as well as distance to the roof.


  • Once you have this information, and have placed an order for this Snow Melt System, please contact us via email sales@expressions-ltd.com or call us at 801-806-0529.

    Concrete Color Hardener, Scofield Lithochrome

    Product Detail:


    LITHOCHROME Color Hardener is used to add beautiful color - vibrant or subtle - into the surface of freshly placed concrete. This ready-to-use, powdered dry-shake hardener produces long-wearing horizontal surfaces ideal for pedestrian or vehicular traffic - indoors or out.



    The LITHOCHROME Advantage

    LITHOCHROME Color Hardener provides more coverage with less product than competing color hardeners. The superior formulation is denser than competing color hardeners, resulting in approximately 75% more thickness when using LITHOCHROME Color Hardener at the same coverage rate.



    Proven superior abrasion resistance

    Based on test results, LITHOCHROME Color Hardener dramatically improves the abrasion resistance of concrete as compared to a control concrete of the same base composition finished and cured in a similar manner. The recommended application rate of LITHOCHROME Color Hardener provided over 34 times the abrasion resistance on a depth of wear basis as compared to the control. A higher application demonstrated over 100 times the control’s performance.



    Proven higher compressive strength


    The compressive strength of a material is that value of uniaxial compressive stress reached when the material fails completely. The compressive strength is usually obtained experimentally by means of a compressive test. Based on a 2” x 2” cube compressive test, LITHOCHROME Color Hardener provided superior compressive strength after 31 days over competing color hardener products.



    Better coverage rates result in reduced installation costs

    By using properly graded aggregates in our color hardener we are able to extend our surface coverage rates. Most manufacturers recommend using 60 pounds per every 100 square feet. Our color hardener recommendation is for 50 pounds per every 100 square feet. LITHOCHROME Color Hardener is manufactured with well-graded aggregates resulting in better suspension at the surface of the concrete in its plastic state, allowing for complete coverage using less material.



    Well-selected aggregates and pigments result in better color opacity

    Manufacturers are faced with raw material drifts in color and different colors of sand indigenous to the location of the manufacturing facility. Providing consistent gradation and color for each new batch presents a challenge, but ensures that large jobs over a period of time look the same from beginning to end. LITHOCHROME Color Hardener is manufactured with specific color-selected aggregates for the most consistent coverage possible.



    View the PDF outlining the complete LITHOCHROME Color Hardener advantage.



    Surfaces enhanced with LITHOCHROME Color Hardener are


  • Nonfading, permanent colored surfaces
  • Durable in freeze/thaw conditions
  • Hard, dense and abrasion-resistant
  • Best for imprinting with concrete stamps
  • Cost-effective and easy-to-maintain

    Concrete Integral Color Powder, Scofield Chromix

    PRODUCT DETAILS

  • Add strength and beautiful concrete color to both vertical and horizontal construction projects with CHROMIX Admixtures for Color-Conditioned Concrete.

  • Available in 5 or 6 Sack Mix (Ensures consistent color when the percent of cement in the concrete mix is higher- ie. 6 Sack Mix has more cement than a 5 Sack Mix).

  • Coverage: One bag of color is designed to mix with one cubic yard of concrete, at either a 5 or 6 bag ratio. Most precast concrete (countertops, sinks, etc.) should be at least a 6 bag equivalent. Since one sack of cement is 94 lbs, a 5-sack mix is for 470 lbs of cement, and a 6-sack mix is for 564 lbs of cement.

  • When used for precast concrete countertops, sinks, etc., the color can be added to the concrete mix, and then in an equal ratio by weight to portland cement to make a slurry of matching color (Make sure to calculate your ratio based on the cement weight only of the concrete- not the sand or aggregate).

  • CHROMIX Admixtures are the water-reducing, set-controlling admixtures that produce durable and structurally sound architectural colored concrete.

  • CHROMIX Admixtures are suitable for all types of colored concrete projects from floors and hard landscapes to cast-in-place or precast walls.

  • CHROMIX Admixtures are available by special order in over 400 concrete color formulations in two convenient forms: CHROMIX P (powdered) and CHROMIX ML (mixed liquid in buckets and totes).




  • CHROMIX Admixtures provide

  • A rich, diverse palette of concrete colors
  • Evenly dispersed, consistent, streak-free concrete color throughout the concrete mix
  • Repeatability -- batch-to-batch and project-to-project
  • Superior, nonfading, permanent concrete coloring
  • Increased concrete strength at all ages
