Ken Biggs Contractors Ltd – Food Grade Flooring
Client Brief and Recommendations
The end client was looking for a hard wearing, food safe flooring solution for their Salad Prep Area. As such, PSC recommended a Food Grade RT polyurethane Screed completed with a 100mm high polyurethane cove system. Moreover, at the site visit it was noted there was a large amount of glass window surrounding the floor area, letting in a lot of UVR light. Therefore, we recommended a UVR stable polyurethane coating system was laid on top of the RT Screed, as otherwise the RT screed could fade and discolour over time.
In Preparation
Firstly, in order to prepare the area to receive the recommended 9mm RT polyurethane screed, the entire 105 square metre new concrete floor surface was ground back using a triple headed diamond grinding machine and vacuum system. Then, the edge work was ground back with totally enclosed hand held diamond grinders and all residues and dust was vacuumed clean. Additionally, 9mm x 6mm Saw cuts were made to the perimeter of floor area, door thresholds, around drains and gullies and where necessary to toe in and anchor screed. After that, a DPM epoxy resin primer was laid with a heavy scatter of 0.7 to 1.2mm quartz aggregate.
105sqm 9mm Resdev Pumadur RT polyurethane screed & Polyurethane CG Cove System
A nominal 9mm heavy duty Resedv Pumadur RT polyurethane, textured, matt, was laid across the whole floor in the clients chosen Sandstone colour.
After that, we measured out and fitted stainless steel birds beak trim, 100mm high in order to complete the 32 linear metres of 100mm high, 50mm radius Resdev Pumadur CG polyurethane coving system.
Finally, once dry, two coats of UVR stable polyurethane coating system were installed.
The job was completed on time, within budget and Ken Biggs Contractors Ltd were pleased with the result.
PSC Flooring have carried out a great job and the end client is very pleased with their new floor.
