Background
The existing floors had open joints with broken edges, which as well as being a trip hazard to trolleys and staff, also trapped dirt and inhibited house keeping.
Facts & Figures
Preparation
Vacuum contained shot-blasting was used to prepare the floor in open areas with diamond grinding employed in more congested areas around machinery and racking.
Required Flooring
A cost effective and hard wearing coating with the aim being to lift the presentation of the Engineering facility.
It was important that the floor would last at least 5 years. We can confidently support the coating with our materials and workmanship guarantee.
Contrasting colours to create a floor layout and highlight borders.
Specified Flooring
Elgood Industrial Flooring’s Britdura 750 High-build solvent free Epoxy Floor Coating.
Finish
The floor has a built in fine slip resistant texture which is not sprinkled by hand and as such does not inhibit sweeping / house keeping.
Signs
Forklift and Pedestrian Man signs were installed to warn and inform.
Future Change of Layout
When the time comes or plant is relocated leaving a footprint behind, making good and/or re-coating areas can be completed with relative ease.
Once the area has been cleaned with a scrubber dryer or similar machine, the coating’s good self bonding characteristics mean that we would be able to simply over-coat minimising both preparation and disruption.
