Warehouse
Method/Preparation
Optimum Flooring were called in to have a look at this job as the floor had been
damaged as a result of a fire. The whole floor area of around 1800m2 needed a
revamp but first our team focused on the areas of damaged floor as shown below.
We started by digging out the area most affect by electric kango machines to a
depth of 30mm, then we primed the area with a scatter of aggregate before
pumping in a deep fill smoothing compound to a depth of 30mm. Once this had
cured we applied a clear epoxy seal coat over the top, ready for our works to the
whole of the floor area.
The finished floor looking
ten times better than it
did before works started.
This photo shows the
area of the floor most
damaged by the fire, and
the first area of focus for
our team.
Application/Installation
First we mechanically ground the floor by the use of a three-phase mechanical
grinding machine, and by the use of mechanical hand tools. Other areas contained
small amounts of quarry tiles as shown below, we used electric tile lifters to remove
these, before infilling to level out the floor. We then applied a base coat which was
a water-based epoxy paint, followed by a first coat of a high build epoxy, before
taping out the demarcation lines to match the clients drawing and location of where
walkways would be installed.
Here we have a photo from
out first site visit, showing
the floor before our works.

quarry tiles present in an
area. Our team removed
these upon our preperation
stage.
Application/Installation
Once the floor had been
repaired, our team
mechanically ground the
whole area, this photo was
taken at the end of our
prep stage.
This image shows our
progress on the job, the
floor has been ground,
primed, the grey paint has
been installed and the
walkways marked with
tape, ready for application
of the red.
Result
Our team finished on time, without any delays to give the client a finish they were more than happy with. Another good job completed by the Optimum team!
The finished floor here,
exactly what the client
was looking for,
making
the whole place look so
much better.
“Thanks to the Optimum Team for all your hard work on this project, the
floor is fantastic”
