Case Study
Project Overview
In July 2024, Northern Star Flooring Ltd. was commissioned to undertake a flooring upgrade at a Premiership football concourse. The project, which lasted two weeks, required the resurfacing of the hospitality area and addressing significant wear and cracking in the existing floor. The client’s priority was to install a high-performance, durable resin flooring system that could withstand heavy foot traffic while maintaining a visually appealing finish.
Challenges & Requirements
The initial floor condition presented various challenges, including worn-down surfaces and cracks that needed proper repair before the new flooring system could be installed. Given the high-traffic nature of the concourse, it was crucial to ensure the new flooring was robust, long-lasting, and met strict safety and aesthetic standards. Additionally, the project needed to be completed on time and within budget—critical factors in large-scale commercial projects.
Solution: PolyFlex SL from KDR
After evaluating the project requirements, Northern Star Flooring Ltd. recommended the use of KDR’s PolyFlex SL system. This product was selected for its superior durability, ease of maintenance, and excellent performance in high-footfall environments like stadiums.
Installation Process
To ensure a flawless finish and optimal longevity, Northern Star Flooring Ltd. followed a structured installation process:
- Crack Repair: The team utilized KDR Resin Systems EpoSeal PRS to repair all existing cracks in the concrete substrate, ensuring a stable and secure base for the new flooring.
- Moisture Protection: To prevent any moisture-related issues, two coats of KDR EpoSeal DPM were applied. This ensured the substrate was adequately sealed before the resin application.
- Resin Flooring Application: The PolyFlex SL self-smoothing resin system was installed, providing a seamless, high-performance finish suitable for the heavy use of a football concourse.
- Protective Coating: For enhanced durability and UV resistance, two coats of PolySeal UVR WD were applied as a final protective layer, ensuring the floor maintained its integrity and appearance over time.
Project Execution & Outcome
The Northern Star Flooring team executed the project with precision, ensuring a smooth process from preparation to installation. By leveraging extensive industry experience and meticulous planning, the team successfully delivered the project on time and within budget—an impressive achievement given the complexities of such large-scale flooring installations.
