Introduction
Novar ED&S / Honeywell required an industrial floor renovation at their Merseyside facility to improve the presentation and durability of a busy warehouse floor. The project formed part of a significant investment, with the client seeking a cost-effective but dependable flooring solution that could cope with regular fork lift traffic and day-to-day warehouse activity. Elgood Industrial Flooring was appointed to manufacture and install a high-build solvent free epoxy floor coating, creating a professional, hard-wearing industrial floor with added slip resistance in key areas.
Background
In a working warehouse and distribution environment, the condition of the industrial floor has a direct effect on appearance, safety and operational efficiency. Novar ED&S / Honeywell needed a flooring system that would upgrade the presentation of the warehouse while also delivering the durability required for frequent fork lift traffic.
Because the project represented a significant investment, the client needed the right balance between cost and long-term performance. Elgood Industrial Flooring took part in a competitive tender process and was selected to provide a practical and durable solution based on its in-house manufactured Britdura epoxy flooring systems.
As British manufacturers and installers with more than 125 years of experience, Elgood Industrial Flooring was able to offer a complete in-house service from preparation and specification through to final installation.
The Challenge
The project needed to meet several important requirements:
- Renovate the warehouse floor in a cost-effective way
- Improve the overall presentation of the facility
- Provide a durable industrial floor capable of tolerating frequent fork lift traffic
- Deliver a professional finish suitable for a busy operational environment
- Include enhanced slip resistance behind the roller shutter doors where conditions are more demanding
- Complete the installation with controlled preparation methods to minimise mess and disruption
The Solution
Elgood Industrial Flooring specified and installed a complete epoxy flooring solution tailored to the needs of the Novar ED&S / Honeywell warehouse in Merseyside.
Key elements of the solution included:
- Competitive and practical specification
Elgood proposed a flooring system that balanced performance and cost, helping the client achieve a long-lasting upgrade without over-specifying the project. - Britdura 750 high-build solvent free epoxy floor coating
The main warehouse floor was finished with Elgood Industrial Flooring’s Britdura 750 high-build solvent free epoxy floor coating, selected to provide a durable, professional-looking surface capable of withstanding regular fork lift traffic. - Fine slip resistant finish
The main coating included a fine slip resistant finish, helping to support day-to-day safety while still remaining straightforward to clean and maintain. - Britdura G20 coarse slip resistant finish behind roller shutter doors
To provide additional traction in areas more exposed to operational wear and changing conditions, Elgood installed its Britdura G20 coarse slip resistant finish behind the roller shutter doors. - Clean and controlled installation
The work was carried out using Elgood’s established preparation and installation methods, helping to maintain a clean site and minimise disruption during the flooring works.
All works were manufactured, prepared and installed entirely by Elgood Industrial Flooring, ensuring consistent workmanship and a single point of responsibility throughout the project.
Outcome
The completed industrial flooring renovation provided Novar ED&S / Honeywell with a practical and professional warehouse floor in Merseyside:
- A durable epoxy industrial floor designed to cope with frequent fork lift traffic
- An improved warehouse environment with a more professional appearance
- A fine slip resistant main floor finish that remains practical for day-to-day cleaning
- A coarse slip resistant finish behind the roller shutter doors for added safety in critical areas
- A cost-effective solution that balanced upfront investment with long-term performance
- A British-manufactured flooring system installed entirely by Elgood’s in-house team
By combining a high-build solvent free epoxy floor coating with enhanced slip resistance in key zones, Elgood Industrial Flooring delivered a reliable industrial floor renovation that improved the presentation, durability and day-to-day usability of the Novar ED&S / Honeywell facility in Merseyside.
