Blackpool Zoo

About our client

Located in one of Britain’s most beloved seaside resorts, Blackpool Zoo provides a fun and educational day out for families. Regarded as a “hidden gem”, the zoo houses a vast array of animals from Aardvarks to Zebras, totaling over 1000 specimens.

Objective

Work undertaken

Mechanical means were used to remove the old paint before applying a series of coatings. The process began with two layers of DPM Primer followed by the application of one coat of RXEP Hi-Build 500.

Outcome

After successfully completing previous projects at the Zoo, the property managers were once again very happy with work on the penguin pool floor. It no longer leaks, providing a surface that is both durable and easy to clean for the staff.
