Fishery finds fast floor solution
May 1st 2007 Ardex UK teamed up
recently with flooring
contractor Amicitia UK of
South Devon to provide a
resin flooring system for
Plymouth Fisheries.
The cooler room floor
had started to show signs
of damage and, in order to
allay the client's fears,
Amicitia offered a patch test
of various industrial flooring
options. Patches were
monitored closely for signs
of wear or failure over a 10-
month period and Ardex R
90 P rake and trowel grade
heavy duty polyurethane
screed was acknowledged
as providing outstanding
performance.
Amicitia removed the
existing screed using rotary
percussion chisels and a
self-propelled concrete
plane/scabbler, followed by
an intensive vacuum clean.
After checking the
moisture content of the
newly-prepared floor, it was
coated with Ardex R 3 E
solvent-free epoxy primer
prior to receipt of Ardex 90
P polyurethane screed at a
depth of 9mm.
The cured system forms
a tough, easily cleaned,
pigmented layer from 4 to
9mm thick, that results in a
hard wearing, slip-resistant
resin flooring system. More articles from Ardex UK Limited: |
