Boston
Installation requirements
RESYN were approached by Gourmet Game, a company based in Boston, Lincolnshire, that specialises in the wholesale of game products.
Following the decision to buy a new premises the owner contacted RESYN for some advice on a suitable resin floor finish for various areas within their new manufacturing unit including the chiller room and cutting room.
The client had concerns with regards to the suitability of the existing substrate and therefore as part of the initial consultation, RESYN undertook strength tests on the concrete. The results highlighted that the substrate did not have the compressive strength needed to accept a resin floor and therefore a new floor screed would need to be installed.
Why RESYN?
To avoid any split responsibility, Gourmet Game asked RESYN to take responsibility for the installation of the screed. Ardex A35, a polymer floor screed, was installed which then required a cure time of three days.
As part of the project scope the client had also requested that new drainage be included. With assistance from drainage partners, Component Developments, who manufactured the specialist drainage, RESYN were able to install the drainage as part of the package.
The client had decided that Polyurethane was the appropriate system for the factory floor due to its hard-wearing properties and ease of cleaning and as a result Altrocrete Excel HF at 6mm thick was chosen.
The full installation, including floor screed, drainage and the resin flooring application was completed in 5 days ensuring that Gourmet Game could continue the fit out and open their new premises without delay.
