Specialist contractors, Prestec UK Limited, are applying Sikafloor 156 epoxy primer, over-coated with Sikafloor 350 Elastic, an elastomeric polyurethane top deck coating system that is extremely durable with excellent crack bridging properties.
It is impervious with good resistance to weathering and UV.
Ramps and turning circles are being coated with Sikafloor 325, which is designed specially for the extra demands of these areas.
Sikafloor 354, a two part, coloured epoxy-polyurethane seal coat, is then applied over these areas.
Sikaflex 354 offers a tough, flexible surface, with excellent colour stability and resistance to weathering.
The intermediate decks are being coated with Sikafloor 261, to give a slip resistant, hardwearing surface.

Sika repair mortars, protective coatings and decking membranes for car parks are tested in accordance with the German Rili-DAfStb standard (equivalent to the British Standard in the UK).
This standard is the most complete and complex standard for those applications; in fact it is the only one that tested and categorised car park decking membranes, and has had a significant influence on the development of the new European Standard on repair mortars, protective coatings and waterproofing membranes.
The GBP10 million contract is being built by support services and construction company Carillion plc for developers Oakmoor Deeley.
When completed it will provide a secure and safe environment for users of and visitors to, the newly established Belgrade Plaza.
