Car Garage Cheltenham
Method/Preparation
First we uplifted the ceramic tiles by use of a ride-on mechanical tile lifter, followed
by the use of an Innovatech three-phase mechanical, vacuum attached grinding
machine to remove any existing glue, laitance or weak screed and return the floor
to a solid base.
Heres the finished article,
a great smooth floor
which is ideal for a busy
car garage.
This image shows the
floor before works
commenced, including
the original floor made up
of ceramic tiles.
Application/Installation
Once preparation has been completed we applied a primer with a full sand scatter
to give a mechanical key to the hand laid smoothing screed, which was allowed to
cure before applying finished systems.
The tiles have been
removed, the area has
been primed and scattered
with sand, ready for
acceptance of smoothing
screed.
Here’s an image of the
floor, once hand laid
smoothing screed.
Application/Installation
Following use of an STR mechanical grinding machine to give a mechanical key
following prime and scatter, we then applied Resdev Pumathane SL, a threecomponent, polyurethane, flow-applied, flexible floor topping. Once cured we applied
Resdev Pumador DD Coloured, a UV stable polyurethane coating to achieve the
desired finish as this coating has excellent abrasion and chemical resistance.
This image shows the
floor state after two coats
of primer, ready for the
application of the self-level
system.
Here we have the floor
once the Resdev
Pumathane SL has been
applied.
Result
This project was completed over four phases to suit the client’s requirements and to faciliate
the ongoing trading of the business with no closure. In additon, to assist the client our team
installed a screed to the pit floors of the Bay’s, this was done to SR1 standard.
The area in front of the
M.O.T Bay’s had a
second coat of Resdev
Pumador DD Silk
with a
glass bead incorporated
to give non-slip
properties.
“Optimum Flooring have been extremely reliable in following our exact
programming aswell as being flexible to our requirments. The quality of work has
