4m Floors Case Study: DPM & SF41 Resin Floor In Basingstoke

Transforming a Warehouse in Basingstoke: A Case Study by 4m Floors UK

At 4m Floors UK, we specialise in delivering top-notch resin flooring solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of various industrial environments. Recently, we completed an extensive project at a large warehouse in Basingstoke, covering an impressive 5,482 square meters. This case study details the process, challenges, and successful completion of the project, highlighting our expertise and commitment to quality.

The Challenge: Worn Out Concrete Floor

The warehouse in Basingstoke had a significantly worn-out concrete floor, marked by cracks and damage accumulated over years of use. Our goal was to transform this deteriorated surface into a robust, durable, and aesthetically pleasing resin floor that could withstand the heavy traffic and operational demands of a busy warehouse.

Initial Assessment and Preparation

Before any work could begin, our team conducted a thorough assessment of the existing floor. This involved detailed inspections to identify the extent of the damage, including cracks, holes, and uneven surfaces. Based on our findings, we developed a comprehensive plan to ensure a flawless resin flooring application.

Diamond Grinding: The Key to Surface Preparation

Surface preparation is a critical step in the resin flooring process. For this project, we used diamond grinders to prepare the worn-out concrete floor. Diamond grinding is essential for several reasons:

Surface Smoothing: It helps smooth out the surface, removing any rough patches or irregularities.
Opening Pores: Grinding opens the pores of the concrete, enhancing the bond between the concrete and the resin.
Removing Contaminants: It removes any contaminants, such as oil or grease, which could hinder the adhesion of the resin.

Our team meticulously ground the entire 5,482 square meters, ensuring the surface was perfectly prepared for the next steps.

Repairing and Filling Cracks

With the surface prepped, we moved on to repairing the damaged concrete. This step involved filling cracks and holes with high-quality repair materials. Proper repair is vital to prevent any underlying issues from compromising the integrity of the new resin floor.

Our experienced technicians used advanced techniques and materials to ensure that all repairs were robust and durable. This meticulous attention to detail is a hallmark of 4m Floors UK, ensuring long-lasting results for our clients.

Applying the Damp Proof Membrane (DPM)

After repairing the floor, the next crucial step was to apply a Damp Proof Membrane (DPM). A DPM is essential in warehouse environments to prevent moisture from rising through the concrete and affecting the resin floor. Moisture can cause various issues, including delamination and bubbling of the resin.

We applied a high-quality DPM layer across the entire floor area. This layer serves as a barrier, ensuring that the subsequent resin layers adhere properly and remain intact over time.

Top Coat Application: SF41

With the DPM layer in place, we moved on to the final stage of the process: applying the top coat of SF41. SF41 is a robust, high-performance resin designed for industrial use. It offers excellent durability, chemical resistance, and a seamless finish, making it ideal for a busy warehouse environment.

Our team applied the SF41 resin meticulously, ensuring even coverage and a flawless finish. The result was a stunning, high-gloss surface that not only looks impressive but also provides exceptional performance under heavy use.

The Final Result: A Transformed Warehouse Floor

The transformation of the warehouse floor in Basingstoke was nothing short of remarkable. The new resin floor is a testament to the expertise and dedication of the 4m Floors UK team. It is now a durable, attractive surface that will serve the warehouse for many years to come.
