Clear resin flooring for the education sector
In 2008, Arthur Mellows Village College needed an extremely durable yet attractive clear resin flooring finish for the new science, media and IT facility. They also needed to replace the existing Granwood floors within the existing school. The installations had to run alongside other trades and cause minimal disruption to the school.
The Degafloor Flake system was initially installed over approximately 5000 sqm. This provided an ideal alternative to vinyl sheets and carpets. The seamless clear resin flooring systems do not exhibit weak spots that often occur at grouted joints or seams. This reduces the overall lifetime maintenance costs of the product.
The durable system is well suited to high levels of foot traffic. It also offers exceptional flexibility and is aesthetically pleasing. The team at RESYN worked closely with the Arthur Mellows team to create a range of bespoke finishes exactly suited to their requirements.
The existing building floors were Granwood and were over-coated due to the unique bonding process of the MMA resins. Precious time and money were saved on removing and repairing the floor.
Since the original installation in 2008, The Degafloor Flake system has been installed in a large proportion of the school including, classrooms, offices, reception areas, corridors, the refectory and the main hall. We used different colour combinations and stainless steel trims for demarcation to create unique and innovative designs.
For areas where enhanced slip resistance was required, RESYN installed the Degafloor FB system. The system is scattered with aggregates and sealed providing exceptional slip resistance even in wet or oily conditions. This system is used for stairways, kitchens and toilets, providing enhanced protection against slips and trips in dangerous areas.
The Degafloor systems, which cure fully within two hours of installation, combined with RESYN’s expertise meant the projects, which ran on short timescales and often in school holiday periods, could be completed efficiently allowing other trades to continue shortly after.
