Singer Group – Vehicle Workshop Flooring
Client Brief & Recommendation
The client brief was for a really hard, hard wearing, impact resistant, Matt resin floor that would be easy to clean and last them over 10 years. PSC recommended a 4mm MD polyurethane screed in a Matt finish. MD polyurethane screed is ideal for particular client because it is hard wearing and impact resistant, ideal for constant vehicle traffic. MD polyurethane has a very smooth gloss or matt finish and is also chemical resistant and easy to clean.
In Preparation
In preparation for the MD polyurethane screed, the 850 square meter area underwent thorough cleaning and preparation using a captive, enclosed, double-headed diamond grinding machine, and a totally enclosed handheld 110v diamond grinder. The area was then meticulously vacuumed to remove all residues and dust. Additionally, 6mm x 6mm saw cuts were precisely made around drains, door entrances, and as needed to toe in and anchor the screed. All open expansion joints, measuring 6mm x 10mm, were filled using polyurethane jointing compound or polyurethane mortar compound.
850 Square meters of Resdev Pumadur MD polyurethane screed
The entire area was given one coat of epoxy resin primer incorporating heavy scatter of 0.7 to 1.2mm quartz aggregate. Once dry the nominal 4mm heavy duty Resedv Pumadur MD polyurethane was laid in the clients chosen smooth, matt Mid Grey.
The final task was the recutting of the expansion joints to 200 linear metres – mirroring through all expansion joints by saw cut 6mm x 6mm channel to existing expansion joints, knocking out and then in filling with polyurethane jointing compound, Mid Grey.
The project took 8 days to complete, including captive diamond grinding, priming and then once the screed was laid, recutting and installing 200 linear metres of expansion joints.
