The water based polyurethane resin system Sikafloor 20 Purcem, was specified for the entire 21,000 sq metre area and installed by specialist resin flooring contractors IRL Group.
The new concrete floor slab was firstly treated with the water based epoxy primer Sikafloor 155W then the heavy duty screed of Sikafloor 20 Purcem was applied to the surface at a depth of 9mm, coloured to the client's specification.
This provides a floor surface that is extremely durable, withstands frequent high pressure steam cleaning, is resistant to slip and chemicals and is easy to maintain.
