Stonhard Delivers High-Performance Floor Solution for Skincare Manufacturer

When a global skincare company required a hygienic, chemical-resistant, waterproof flooring solution to support its UK-based manufacturing facility, it turned to Stonhard. Integral to the project was the stipulation that the floor should not surpass the maximum allowable weight of 20 metric tons.

Stonhard installers began removing the weak, de-bonded sand and cement layer. This was followed by the fitting of stainless-steel trenches through the concrete planks in strategic places to allow for drainage. Two Stonhard waterproof and crack-bridging urethane membranes, Stonproof ME7 and Stonproof RH7, were recommended for the trenches and steel rafts. The surface was installed to manage drainage with a sloping design, utilizing a polymer grout with an extra layer of the urethane membrane with fiberglass engineering material.

Finally, more than 1,000 sq. ft. of Stonclad UR and Stonclad UT seamless, high-performance flooring was installed to provide a durable and long-lasting surface. Stonclad UR was also used to create floor coves to protect against chemical spills and splashes.
