Work undertaken

The substrate underwent mechanical grinding and was then vacuumed to remove all the dust. Following that, a resin primer was applied, and then Robex Resin GP was laid down at a depth of 2-3mm. After that, the whole area was broadcast with a coloured aggregate. Once the resin had set, any excess aggregate was cleared away and two coats of sealer were applied.

Challenges

The floor had previously been subject to countless layers of coating and was in poor condition. But, once the surface had been properly prepared, the rest of the project was smooth sailing.

Outcome

The staff in the Penguin Rearing Room had been eagerly awaiting the installation of their new floor, and they are delighted with the result.
