Repair, protect and prep your farm building floors fast with Polycote
Owning a farm is challenging and staying on top of everything, especially during the busiest seasons, can be testing. Don’t let floor repairs and surface preparation consume valuable time; discover user-orientated flooring products that keep you on track.
Whether your farm is a fifteen-acre smallholding or a 10,000-acre agricultural empire, keeping farm buildings well-kept and safe is important for everyone that lives and works there. After all, you spend all year pouring time, money and effort into production and well-maintained farm buildings will help support that and keep livestock, machinery and crops safe.
Repair and maintenance is a never-ending task on a farm and downtime is costly. Damaged surfaces (e.g. split roofs or uneven/broken floors) can lead to hefty expenditures, injury or regulation breaches. At Polycote, we create and supply solutions that support the farming industry. Our extensive range of flooring repair products and degreasers help farmers and agricultural workers look after farm buildings in short, rapid timeframes to meet the demands of the job.
Concrete surfaces on farms go through a lot and experience heavy-duty use every day. Trafficked by livestock and heavy plant, farm building floors are subject to impact damage, environmental decay and wet-dry cycles regularly. Cretex Rapid is a fast-curing concrete repair mortar that can adhere to damp concrete flooring, meaning it can be applied shortly after operations have ceased or even alongside. The product is incredibly easy to apply and can be used for horizontal or vertical repairs. For a quick return to full operation, Cretex Rapid can accept traffic in an hour and cures to an incredible 50N/mm compressive strength.
For larger and deeper repairs, Cretex Deepfill is cost-effective, stronger than concrete and will minimise downtime with a three-hour cure time. Cretex Deepfill provides an incredibly hard surface with excellent adhesion and will withstand the heaviest industrial traffic to keep your tasks on track.
When it comes to smaller repairs, Cretex EP Mortar is an extremely tough three-part epoxy mortar that’s ideal for patching and repairing areas prior to overlaying with a floor coating. It is extremely easy to use and can be over-coated in only 3-4 hours. It is also oil, grease and chemical resistant
Keeping your farm clean is important. British farmers are proud to have world-leading welfare standards and farming practices are strictly regulated. To make preparing your farm building floors easy, Degrease™ IT from Polycote is a powerful multi-purpose cleaner and degreaser. It can be applied to concrete, quarry and ceramic tiles, terrazzo, vinyl and most other hard surfaces and is ideal for removal of heavy grease, oils and fats.
Whether you’re a pastoral, arable or mixed farm, the demands of the environment mean you need flooring solutions that provide long-term, reliable results so you can focus on what matters most. Keep your farm fully functional… choose products from Polycote. Contact our Pros today.
