Resin Surfaces Limited cleans up for PZ Cussons
Global toiletries giant, PZ Cussons, has brought in Steadfast Flooring to lay Resin Surfaces Limited products at a new manufacturing facility in Salford.
The project was undertaken by specialist contractor, Datum Industrial Flooring (Datum).
The contractors worked over Saturday afternoons, evenings and Sundays to remove the old defective surface before replacing it with an acrylic infill, prior to applying Resin Surfaces (RSL)'s leading polyurethane-based Resuthane TG69 system.
The 1200 m2.
floor area was completed over 15 weekends saving the Corporation seven weekends on its original proposed programme.
Dick Lovegrove, managing director of Datum, commented: "We were originally invited to tender for overlaying the existing floor, which we refused as it would have been impossible to give the job the guarantee required under the contract".
"It was our commitment to offer only the right solution that ended up winning us the job".
Resuthane TG69 is a water based polyurethane screed system that is formulated to be easy to apply and provide a durable floor surface capable of withstanding heavy wear.
It is ideally suited for use in food and drink environments such as Billingsgate, where high standards of hygiene are required, as it can be steam cleaned and withstand boiling water.
Now complete, the project provides a market that has been in place at Billingsgate since the 1400's with the high quality it deserves.
RSL managing director, Ivy Wroe, concludes: "We have always considered our Polyurethane products to be the 'jewel' in the RSL crown and are delighted to see them used in such a landmark project".
"We are pleased to have been so closely involved with what is an impressive project and look forward to working with Datum again on many more projects in the future.".
