Durable Flooring Extension for Chilled Packing Area

Client Requirements

A leading food producer required a durable, hygienic and temperature-resistant flooring solution as part of an extension to its chilled packing area. The environment operates at low temperatures and is subject to a rigorous cleaning regime, as well as regular forklift truck traffic.

Although the existing concrete subfloor remained structurally sound, signs of wear had begun to appear, making a complete flooring restoration necessary.

The client required a flooring system capable of withstanding thermal shock, frequent sanitisation and heavy operational demands while maintaining high hygiene standards.

Overview of Works

Following a detailed site assessment, Zenith specified a Resdev Pumadur HF polyurethane screed system to meet the client’s operational and environmental requirements.

The existing substrate was mechanically prepared using totally enclosed shot blasting to remove contaminants and create a clean, textured surface suitable for coating adhesion. A polyurethane primer was then applied to enhance bond strength between the substrate and the new flooring system.

Once preparation works were complete, a 6mm heavy-duty polyurethane screed was installed across the 350 sq m extension area. The seamless, slip-resistant finish was specifically selected for its suitability within food production and chilled processing environments.

The project was completed within a four-day programme, ensuring minimal disruption to the client’s operations.
