In all cases the client was looking for a seamless hardwearing flooring option that could be kept clean and would meet Environmental Health standards. The existing floors and new areas of concrete were in good condition and as such PSC recommended that a 6mm heavy duty RT polyurethane screed throughout.
At each phase in order to prepare the floor for the RT screed the floor was given a heavy shot blast using a totally enclosed 20D shot blasting machine which is powered via a generator mounted on a lorry and or a Diamond Grinding machine.. The edge work was ground back with a totally enclosed handheld 110v diamond grinder and the whole area vacuumed clean to ensure all residue and dust were removed. 10mm x 10mm Saw cuts were then made to door thresholds, around drains and to perimeter of floor area and where necessary to toe in and anchor screed.
A nominal 6mm heavy duty Resedv Pumadur RT polyurethane, in textured, matt finish in the clients chosen colourway was then hand trowelled onto the total floor area. Once dry in the Farmshop area circa 60 linear metres of 6mm x 6mm channel was saw cut to mirror the existing expansion joints. They were then knocked out and in filled with matching polyurethane jointing compound. The butchery and Fridge areas were also given 100mm high coving to create a seamless finish and minimise microbial growth. Each phase was completed on time and within the clients budget and more importantly for the client completed with as little disruption to trade as possible.
“PSC have done an excellent job and great to work on this project with a local company right on our doorstep. The new floor has completely transformed the spaces so we are extremely pleased.” Hodgehill Ltd
