5000m² extension for new production facility ‘paved’ with extremely durable and slip resistant resin system
Brief Description
A major extension to an existing company premises required some inventive techniques to ensure the flooring was fit for purpose once again.
Over 5000m² of finishes were applied to maximise the space to enable the client to increase production.
Problems and Requirements
The whole area of the renovation was previously covered with a magnesite screed. Although Remmers have options to top such a substrate, the decision was made to remove the magnesite as it was showing signs of deterioration in many areas and would always have been a concern to the client.
Once removed, the substrate needed a new vapour barrier and significant levelling to give an even surface for future operations.
The floor was primed with two coats of Epoxy MT100 and levelled with Optiplan Base screed between 10-20mm thick across the full area.
This was installed in four consecutive days applying over 1000m² per day.
Once left to cure and dry over the weekend, a layer of Epoxy Flex PH was applied at 2mm thick and finally topped with a slip resistant coat of Epoxy BS3000 SG incorporating Aluminium Oxide.
