FasTop™ TG69 Polyurethane Floor Screed Provides Production Floor Finish for Gate Gourmet

Gate Gourmet, the world’s largest independent provider of catering and provisioning services for airlines and railroads was setting up a new catering unit and required a flooring solution for this demanding environment.

The new Gate Gourmet unit had a very hard concrete sub floor and the 3000 sq metre floor area required a very hard long lasting, seamless, hygienic industrial flooring system appropriate for food manufacture and production.

Arambol architects and surveyors specified Sherwin-Williams leading polyurethane resin screed product; FasTop TG69.  FasTop is a water based polyurethane resin screed is ideal for environments with heavy duty usage where resistance to thermal shock, abrasion and chemical attack is important. FasTop surfaces are stable to steam cleaning and resistant to boiling water and process liquids up to 100 degrees centigrade.  A matt, textured surface is achieved that is both seamless and possesses good anti-slip properties.

The concrete sub floor needed thorough preparation; a vacuum the area was vacuum assisted shot blasted to thoroughly clean down the area to create a good key for the resin screed.  FasTop was tapered down and toed in along the steel reinforced concrete joints to ensure a seamless finish with as few joints as possible.
