Find out about Flowfast at Facilities Show 2014
At Facilities Show 2014 decision makers from across the facilities management industry will be able to find out how Flowcrete UK is making it easier to choose and install the right floor.
This year’s exhibition, at the ExCel Centre from 17-19 June, marks the 15th anniversary of the event, which brings together professionals, experts and suppliers to share information on the latest innovations, trends and technologies.
On stand N915 Flowcrete UK will be showcasing its wide range of advanced resin flooring solutions that have been designed to meet the diverse, often challenging, demands that the managers of industrial facilities have to consider when specifying floors.
The ideal floor for an industrial space needs to hit a combination of functional, construction, maintenance and lifecycle requirements. This means that not only does the floor finish have to resist heavy impacts, traffic and corrosives, but also provide a hygienic, easy-to-clean surface that avoids dirt accumulation and enhances the working environment.
At the same time as needing a floor that optimises the facility’s functionality, the practical concerns of the installation can be just as essential. In particular facilities managers are often looking for ways to minimise the detrimental financial costs of downtime to ensure that productive activity commences as soon as possible.
Putting off refurbishments or initially installing lower quality materials may minimise costs and cut schedules in the short term – but both of these scenarios could lead to a number of floor failures later on that could significantly disrupt operations and pile on additional outlays for repair work.
The fast curing solution Flowfast Quartz from Flowcrete UK is ideal for sites that need a speedy application that still ensures a high quality finish. This hard-wearing methyl methacrylate (MMA) resin system is trafficable within only 1-2 hours of application, delivering a fully functional surface within a fraction of the usual time.
Flowcrete UK is committed to helping facilities managers through the specification and installation process. It uses over 30 years of experience to inform a holistic approach which considers factors such as the floor’s design, installation, lifecycle and the on-site conditions to identify ideal systems and bespoke solutions tailored to individual locations.
This often means analysing the demands of an environment and determining what benefits the floor will need to provide. Flowfast’s seamless, impermeable and easy-to-clean finish means it is often specified for locations that need to adhere to strict hygiene standards whilst its ability to withstand harsh substances makes it a great match for areas exposed to corrosive chemicals.
Clients can also customise the finish of Flowfast to meet bespoke requirements, for example its health and safety profile can be enhanced through the inclusion of anti-slip aggregates that increase grip underfoot.
The wide variety of hard wearing floors available from Flowcrete UK means there is a solution to match any challenge. Flowcrete UK’s epoxy range has the ideal flooring solution for most industrial sectors and facilities particularly at risk from severe chemical attack can take advantage of the corrosion protection provided by Flowchem VE.
For locations that need to meet the highest levels of hygiene Flowcrete UK has created the antimicrobial system Flowfresh, which has the Polygiene® additive incorporated throughout the resin material, meaning that it can eliminate up to 99.9% of the bacteria on the floor.
