The finishing touch

 Agreement was reached to carry out repairs to the damaged joint arrisses (edges of the concrete slabs) and cracks in the slab, before applying a self smoothing, solvent free epoxy resin screed. They prepared an area in excess of 1,000m² before applying the self smooth epoxy screed.  In addition to this, 275 linear metres of joint re-seals, 78 linear metres of crack repairs and 30 linear metres of joint arris repair had to be completed before the surface preparation element could commence. The site team ensuredan  epoxy resin screed application could be applied before normal operations resumed on the Monday morning.

Safety marking lines, walkways and marshalling lanes were then applied in colours to meet the clients standard operations guide, and the entire works package was successfully completed within 7 days, and the difference in the floor after applying the epoxy resin screed was stark.

The success of the floor refurbishment works was in no small part down to the ability and experience of CG Flooring Systems as specialist in the upgrading of concrete industrial floors.

From the application of a basic sealer coat, through to a thicker trowel applied resin floor screed, CG Flooring Systems have many years practical experience in the application of industrial resin floor systems.

The use of the system in industrial and commercial environments is almost limitless, with options to suit every budget. Resin flooring can be applied to offer protection to the concrete floor surface against everyday wear and to protect the floor from spills and chemicals. It’s also a hygienic finish, which is perfect for food and beverage environments.
