Strike Off
Summary
Strike Off - Striking off is the process of removing high points and filling low points when screeding a freshly placed concrete floor.
Technical Information
This action usually involves some sort of straight edge being dragged across the surface of the concrete at a specified elevation. This can be done manually or, much more commonly for an industrial concrete floor, by a machine.
When striking off, it is important to lay slightly more concrete than required so that there is plenty of excess scraped off which can fill the low points on the surface. The surface should be checked afterwards to ensure that all low points have been filled.
