We assisted with a substantial flooring project which involved working closely with an automotive client and an external flooring contractor to install our 2-Part Anti-Slip Epoxy Factory Floor coating. We have years of experience working with these types of client; we began by inspecting the floor carefully, looking out for signs of oil contamination and other chemical spills (which are typical of these environments). We were then able to recommend the correct cleaning and preparation steps ensuring a high quality finish that is also incredibly durable. Our technical team were able to assist with the entire project, from initial specification and application guidance right through to completion.
What Was The Brief?
The client:
Ron Skinner & Sons are the #1 car supermarket in Wales. They had recently acquired a second factory from Iron Brew, which was to be converted into a car preparation area. As such, the floor coating would be subject to lots of heavy vehicle traffic and therefore had to be highly durable. They also required a coating that was going to be non-slip, specifically when exposed to wet conditions or any spills that could occur. The coating must be able to withstand oil, petrol and many other chemicals as well as being aesthetically pleasing.
Brief Overview:
Area Size - 3400m2
Durability Required - High Durable
Product - 2-Part Non-Slip Epoxy Resin Factory Floor Paint
How Did We Help?
After initially discussing the brief with the client, Mark from our technical team visited the site. Due to the substantial size of the factory, a careful inspection was carried out to identify the current condition of the floor. The floor consisted of many layers of previous epoxy coatings, therefore a heavy diamond grind was recommended in order to completely remove these layers. This would help to smooth the surface as well as creating a key for the epoxy coating to adhere to. The client agreed to the enlisting of an external contractor, who was able to work alongside Mark to carry out the recommended preparation work as well as installation.
The external contractors had a wealth of experience preparing the floor. On the instruction of Mark, the floor was Diamond ground to clean, dry concrete ensuring a smooth area. The installation was then carried out using 2 coats of Resincoat Anti-Slip Factory Floor paint. The project was on a tight schedule with the client wanting the entire area to be completed within a 7 day window during December. Mark played a pivotal project management role due to the extensive size of the area ensuring work was carried out in a timely manner whilst also assisting the external contractors on site with any questions on mixing and application.
What Was The Finished Result?
The project was completed to a high standard, on time with the client being exceptionally happy with the results. See comments below from Craig Walters General Manager of Ron Skinner & Sons:
“The whole team at Resincoat are great to deal with, with their support we have made a multi surface older floor look like new. Their products offer terrific value for money and durability.”
