JB Interior Services Ltd – Food Grade Flooring
PSC Flooring, renowned industrial flooring contractors, were engaged by JB Interior Services Ltd, a reputable building contractor, to inspect a 360 square metre floor on behalf of their client, a major food processing manufacturer in Redditch, Worcestershire. The end client provides a wide range of food and non-food contract packing services at their Redditch plant, including but not limited to shrink and flow wrapping, repacking single products into mixed twin-packs, and year-round, seasonal, peak production, and promotional packing.
Client Brief & Recommendation
The client required a durable, food-safe industrial flooring solution for their new food production line. After a thorough assessment, PSC, experienced resin flooring contractors, recommended a 6mm RT polyurethane flooring system combined with a 100mm high CG polyurethane coving.
This solution was ideal for maintaining hygiene and ensuring efficient drainage, addressing the need for water from constant cleaning to flow towards the drainage system without pooling. RT industrial resin flooring offers a seamless, durable finish with built-in anti-slip properties. The ability to create gradient falls further makes it a superior choice for environments requiring stringent hygiene and water management.
In Preparation
To prepare for the installation of food-grade industrial resin flooring, the concrete underwent meticulous preparation. The process involved using a captive diamond grinding machine to open the pores of the concrete and eliminate surface contaminants, ensuring optimal adhesion for the new flooring system.
After grinding, the floor was thoroughly swept clean to remove any debris. The team then made precise saw cuts around the perimeter, doorways, and drains. These cuts provided essential points for applying the polyurethane flooring screed and ensured a seamless, durable finish.
To complete the preparation, a layer of moisture-tolerant primer was applied, addressing any potential damp issues and laying the foundation for the long-lasting, hygienic flooring solution. This thorough preparation process highlights PSC Flooring’s commitment to quality and cost-effective resin flooring UK cost solutions for demanding environments.
360 Square meters of Food Grade Flooring
The skilled team at PSC Flooring meticulously applied 360 square meters of 6mm Resdev RT polyurethane screed in the client’s chosen Chelsea Blue colour. After the RT screed dried, the team painstakingly re-cut all the concrete expansion joints, ensuring they mirrored back through the finished screed and filled them with matching polyurethane jointing compound. This meticulous approach allows the concrete to expand and contract without compromising the integrity of the newly laid RT screed. To complete the flooring project, a 100mm high CG polyurethane coving system was expertly laid to cover the 145 linear meter perimeter of the room.
The entire project was completed in just 6 working days, meeting the deadline and staying within the client’s budget.
