Quartz Aggregate Creates a Theatre Design Feature

Client Requirements

The popular Curve Theatre in Leicester required extensive repairs to expansion joints that had failed, along with the surrounding screed, within the foyer and public areas. Zenith Contract Services were tasked with undertaking the works, suggesting that a feature could be made of the repairs, using a contrasting colour mix of the quartz aggregate.

Overview of Works

The job required the failed joints to be broken out, after first saw-cutting the perimeters to form a rebate with defined edges, revealing the concrete substrate beneath. KDR Polyaspartic decorative quartz screed was then applied to the exposed rebates and trowelled in to match the existing profiles. KDR Polyaspartic Clear Seal was applied over the decorative screed and the joints were reintroduced using KDR Polyjoint flexible compound.

Work was carried out over four consecutive nights to ensure minimum disruption for the theatre, with the results providing a stunning finish that is both aesthetically pleasing and provides a highly durable finish, capable of withstanding significant footfall.
