Method/Preparation
We prepared the existing floor surface by mechanically grinding using an
Innovatech grinding machine with a vacuum attachment to minimize dust. This
remote controlled machine provides minimal load and no vibration for the
operator while the grinding capacity of the number of square metres per hour
increases dramatically
This shows our team on
site surveying the floor in
order to give the best
recommendation to the
client.
Our team are in the
preparation stage and
using the Innovatech
grinding machine to
prepare the floor.
Method/Preparation
The existing surface had numerous layers of old paint, all of this needed to be
removed by grinding so that we could achieve the desired finish to the clients
satisfaciton. Before grinding commenced our team corderned off the area, this
ensured that the floor avoids contamination, in addition to ensuring the safety of
the passing workers.
This shows the area
corderned off and ready for
the floor preparation to
begin.
Here is the area once
grinding had been
completed, the area is now
ready for the oil tolerant
primer to be applied
Application/Installation
Following the preparation, our team would then apply a two-pack epoxy primer for oil
contaminated substrates by the use of roller and brush. Next we looked to apply
Resdev Deckmaster HFS ID, a three-component polurethane system which is designed
for high friction surfaces, with the highest order of durability, impact, abrasion and
chemical resistance to suit the clients needs.
Once grinding had been
done, the floor was then
primed and was ready for
the application of Resdev
Deckmaster HFS ID in
Chelsea Blue
Once the Resdev
Deckmaster HFS ID has
been laid in Chelsea Blue,
we have this fantastic
looking, durable floor with
anti-slip propeties
Result
This project was completed swiftly and to a high standard. The client wanted a good looking,
durable floor with anti-slip properties and as always our team delivered. The Deckmaster HFS
ID product data sheet confirms the wet and dry slip profiles as;
Slip Resistance (BS 7976 slider #96) System ID: 79 (dry), 67 (wet)
This image shows the
TRL Pendulum Slip Test
Rig, this is used to
confirm the wet and dry
slip profiles of the floor..
“Many thanks for the fast paced installation and the exceptional quality of
the new floor. We are delighted with the finish and look forward to using
the product in the future.”
