Singer Group – Vehicle Workshop Flooring
PSC Flooring were delighted to assist world renowned Porsche 911 restoration company, Singer Group, with their new workshop floor. The 850 square meter workshop in Northamptonshire
Client Brief & Recommendation
Singer Group required a hardwearing, impact-resistant industrial flooring system that would withstand constant vehicle traffic while being easy to clean and maintain. Furthermore, as experienced industrial flooring contractors, PSC Flooring recommended a 4mm MD polyurethane flooring screed in a matt finish.
Additionally, this polyurethane flooring solution perfectly addressed the client’s needs, offering exceptional durability and resistance to impacts, making it ideal for a busy automotive workshop environment. In addition to its robustness, MD polyurethane screed provides a seamless, smooth surface available in gloss or matt finishes. It is also chemical resistant and easy to clean, ensuring long-term functionality and hygiene.
In Preparation
Firstly, to prepare for the installation of the MD polyurethane flooring, the 850 square metre area underwent a comprehensive preparation process, showcasing the expertise of PSC’s industrial flooring contractors.
Then, preparation began with thorough cleaning using a captive double-headed diamond grinding machine, ensuring the removal of all surface contaminants. Moreover, for detailed edgework, a fully enclosed 110v handheld diamond grinder was used. Subsequently, once the surface was cleaned, the area was meticulously vacuumed to remove all residues and dust, creating an ideal base for the industrial resin flooring application.
Finally, to ensure maximum durability and adhesion, precise 6mm x 6mm saw cuts were made around drains, door entrances, and where needed to securely anchor the screed. Additionally, open expansion joints, measuring 6mm x 10mm, were filled with polyurethane jointing compound or polyurethane mortar compound, further enhancing the integrity of the resin flooring system.
850 Square meters of Resdev Pumadur MD polyurethane screed
We applied one coat of epoxy resin primer to the entire area, incorporating a heavy scatter of 0.7 to 1.2mm quartz aggregate. After the primer dried, we laid a nominal 4mm heavy-duty Resdev Pumadur MD polyurethane in the client’s chosen smooth, matt Mid Grey.
Next, we recut 200 linear metres of expansion joints by saw-cutting 6mm x 6mm channels to mirror all existing expansion joints. After that, we knocked out the old material and infilled the channels with Mid Grey polyurethane jointing compound.
In conclusion, the project, which included captive diamond grinding, priming, screeding, and recutting the expansion joints, was completed in just 8 days.
