This video shows the resin flooring installation speed for a local retail environment.

Preparation
This is one of the many installations we do with the Co-op in Lincolnshire. Yesterday, the existing concrete slab was repaired by our shock blaster to create a key and remove any surface contamination.
Remove any excess dust from the concrete slab by sweeping and vacuuming.
Priming
Once the sweeping and vacuum process is out of the way the floor is ready to be primed. Operatives mix the resins and the curing agents ready to prime the floor. The primer is applied with a brush and roller. Alternatively, it can be applied with a squeegee.
If adequately primed, the floor will have a glaze on it. Once the primer is done we will be addressing the joints. A flexible joining compound is inserted inside the joints and levelled to define the degree of movement.
The body coat resins are thoroughly mixed with the aggregate powder. This thickens the mixture and also provides durability. Then pigment is added, which gives the resin its colour.
Pouring
The body coat mixture is poured onto the floor and a pin rake is used to level it to the desired thickness. We then use a spike roller to remove any air from the resin, which could potentially cause pinhole marks.
Once leveled the floor is fully scattered with Decker Floor Flakes, chosen by the client. Once that is cured, the flakes are lightly sanded to remove any rough edges. The floor is swept and vacuumed to remove any excess flakes and dust, ready to be sealed.
Sealing
Sealing is the final process, and the seal is mixed with the curing agents and the first coat of seal is applied with a brush and a roller. Once the first seal coat is fully cured, the floor is slightly sanded and any excess is swept away.
The second and final coat of seal is applied. Within an hour the floor will be fully cured and ready for you.
