Introduction
KIM Systems required a hard-wearing industrial floor coating for a new concrete floor in Cambridgeshire. The existing 200 m² floor was in satisfactory condition, but it needed to be sealed with a durable coating that would be easy to clean, simple to maintain and finished in an attractive light-reflecting colour.
Elgood Industrial Flooring was appointed directly by KIM Systems to ensure that the client’s preferred industrial floor system was installed. Elgood prepared the concrete using vacuum contained dust free diamond grinding before installing a Britdura 2000 floor coating in Slate Grey.
The complete industrial floor project was delivered in a single three-day phase, providing KIM Systems with a practical, professional and easy-clean floor finish.
Background
KIM Systems needed an industrial floor that would provide long-term protection for a new concrete surface while improving the appearance and day-to-day usability of the working area. The brief called for a hard-wearing coating that would be straightforward to clean and maintain.
The client employed Elgood Industrial Flooring directly to make sure that the chosen flooring system was installed. This helped avoid divided responsibility and gave KIM Systems a single point of contact for preparation, manufacture and installation.
As British manufacturers and installers with more than 125 years of experience in industrial flooring, Elgood Industrial Flooring was able to deliver the full service in-house. The floor was manufactured, prepared and installed entirely by Elgood Industrial Flooring, supporting consistent quality and a meaningful workmanship and materials warranty.
The Challenge
The project needed to address several clear requirements:
Seal and protect a new 200 m² concrete floor
Provide a hard-wearing industrial floor coating
Create a surface that would be easy to clean and maintain
Install an attractive, light-reflecting floor colour
Prepare the concrete correctly to provide a physical key for the coating
Include a built-in fine slip resistant finish suitable for scrubber dryer machines
Complete the works in one three-day phase
Avoid divided responsibility by using one manufacturer and installer
The Solution
Elgood Industrial Flooring specified and installed a complete Britdura 2000 industrial floor coating system for KIM Systems in Cambridgeshire.
Key elements of the solution included:
Vacuum contained dust free diamond grinding
Vacuum contained dust free diamond grinding was used to prepare the new concrete floor. This preparation method created a physical key for the coating, supporting strong adhesion and long-term performance.
Britdura 2000 industrial floor coating
KIM Systems selected Elgood Industrial Flooring’s Britdura 2000 system. This provided a durable and practical industrial floor coating designed to protect the concrete and create a hard-wearing surface for regular use.
Because the system was manufactured and installed by Elgood Industrial Flooring, the client benefited from a complete in-house service with no divided responsibility between product supplier and installer.
Slate Grey floor finish
The industrial floor was finished in Slate Grey. This provided an attractive and professional appearance while helping create the light-reflecting finish required by the client.
Fine slip resistant surface
The floor was installed with a built-in fine slip resistant finish. This made the surface more practical underfoot while remaining suitable for cleaning with scrubber dryer machines.
Single-phase installation programme
The project was completed in one phase over three days. This allowed Elgood Industrial Flooring to prepare the concrete and install the full industrial floor coating system within a controlled and efficient programme.
Outcome
The completed industrial floor coating provided KIM Systems with a durable, practical and visually improved floor in Cambridgeshire:
A 200 m² Britdura 2000 industrial floor coating
A hard-wearing sealed finish for a new concrete floor
A Slate Grey colour for an attractive, light-reflecting appearance
