Project Overview
Northern Star Flooring Ltd. was commissioned to carry out a high-performance flooring installation at Sedamyl’s Glucose Building. The project involved covering an extensive 1,800m² area with a robust flooring solution capable of withstanding the rigorous demands of an industrial food-processing environment.
Challenges
- Ensuring the correct falls for drainage across a large surface area.
- Working within an operational site with strict health and safety requirements.
- Achieving a durable, slip-resistant, and hygienic finish suitable for food production.
Solution & Execution
To meet the project requirements, Northern Star Flooring Ltd. implemented a two-step flooring system:
- Polymer Screed to Falls: The first phase involved installing a polymer screed to create the necessary gradient for efficient drainage. This ensured compliance with hygiene and safety regulations by preventing water accumulation.
- Sherwin Williams Polyurethane Screed TG69: The final surface was finished with Sherwin Williams TG69, a heavy-duty polyurethane screed known for its durability, chemical resistance, and anti-slip properties. This system was chosen for its ability to withstand heavy foot and vehicle traffic, as well as exposure to chemicals and cleaning processes.
Outcome
- A seamless, hard-wearing surface capable of long-term performance.
- Enhanced safety with improved slip resistance and effective drainage.
- Compliance with industry hygiene and operational standards.
- Minimal disruption to ongoing operations during the project.
Conclusion
The successful completion of the Sedamyl Glucose Building flooring project demonstrates Northern Star Flooring Ltd.’s expertise in delivering high-quality, tailored flooring solutions.
