Food Safe Floor Refurbishment
Central Flooring Services have recently completed a project for a food manufacture based in Slough the client required a total floor refurbishment.
The existing tile floor tiles were becoming loose due to grout degradation and resulting in breakdown of underlay screed causing hygiene concerns.The client chose resin flooring after Central flooring Services arranged a specification that would provide a durable, sustainable, hygienic floor to meet the needs of the client.
The 150m2 project involved removal of the existing floor tiles and under lay screed at a thickness of 80mm. The floor was then prepared by planning and a new Altropol polymer underlay screed was installed to levels. Once cured the underlay screed was prepared then primed to receive Altrocrete polyurethane resin flooring (FeRFA type 8). The perimeter was then coved with Altrocove polyurethane and expansion joints reinstated.
The program was carried out around strict hygiene regulations and a 24/7 working production room, keeping to a very tight schedule, as this is the main pot washroom within the company.
Over 95% of the waste created from the project was recycled; including the old removed flooring and packaging waste from the new installation.
The client is extremely pleased with the finished installation and now plans to carry the system throughout the rest of the factory.
