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.
Contracted by main contractor, Balfour Beatty, Steadfast prepared the newly laid concrete slab in classrooms with RSL Resuprime to prime and prepare the surface.
Following this, Steadfast applied a 2mm epoxy-based self-smoother, Resuflor 2000 across a 650 sq m area.
Steadfast Flooring managing director, Dave Burrows, commented: "Resuflor 2000 is an ideal product for the school science lab environment.
Not only is it highly chemical resistant and easy to clean, but it also copes well with the challenge of scraping chairs that can prove the undoing of vinyl-based systems".
Following the success of the Newall Green Secondary project, Steadfast and RSL have experienced increased demand from schools in search of durable and reliable flooring systems.
RSL managing director, Ivy Wroe, concluded: "This is an enormous growth area at the moment, as the 'Building Schools for the Future' programme gathers momentum.
We are delighted to be able to meet the increasing need for quality construction products for use in new schools, and look forward to working closely with Steadfast on future projects".
