PREP THE INLAY LID
Set the Inlay Lid (B) face-up on a flat work surface away from the main slab pour area. To achieve a seamless finish, the Inlay Lid should be filled with the same concrete mix poured directly around the skimmer box. When filling the Inlay Lid (B), be sure to allow for any finishing procedure that may change the surface height of the set concrete. Applying a petroleum-based or non-stick coating to the outside of the Inlay Lid will assist during the final clean-up.
HIDE’s advanced lids for skimmer boxes, access points, and drain covers deliver a refined, high-end finish. They are offered in an extensive selection of sizes and depths to accommodate a variety of concrete installations.
