Durable Flooring Extension for Chilled Packing Area

• Client: Leading Food Producer
• Project: Extension to Chilled Packing Area Product Used: Resdev Pumadur HF
• Area Coverage: 350 sq m
• Completion: June 2026
• Project Duration: Four days

Client Requirements

A leading food producer required a durable, hygienic and temperature-resistant flooring solution as part of an extension to its chilled packing area. The environment operates at low temperatures and is subject to a rigorous cleaning regime, as well as regular forklift truck traffic.

Although the existing concrete subfloor remained structurally sound, signs of wear had begun to appear, making a complete flooring restoration necessary.

The client required a flooring system capable of withstanding thermal shock, frequent sanitisation and heavy operational demands while maintaining high hygiene standards.

Overview of Works

Following a detailed site assessment, Zenith specified a Resdev Pumadur HF polyurethane screed system to meet the client’s operational and environmental requirements.

The existing substrate was mechanically prepared using totally enclosed shot blasting to remove contaminants and create a clean, textured surface suitable for coating adhesion. A polyurethane primer was then applied to enhance bond strength between the substrate and the new flooring system.

Once preparation works were complete, a 6mm heavy-duty polyurethane screed was installed across the 350 sq m extension area. The seamless, slip-resistant finish was specifically selected for its suitability within food production and chilled processing environments.

The project was completed within a four-day programme, ensuring minimal disruption to the client’s operations.

• Features and Benefits
• Shotblasted substrate > Enhanced adhesion properties
• Polyurethane primer > Improved bond strength
• 6mm polyurethane screed > High impact and wear resistance
• Seamless finish > Improved hygiene and cleanability
• Thermal shock resistance > Suitable for chiller environments
• Chemical resistance > Able to withstand regular cleaning and sanitising

Outcome

The completed flooring installation delivered a robust, hygienic and long-lasting solution tailored to the demands of a chilled food packing environment.

The shot blasted substrate and polyurethane primer provided excellent adhesion and bond strength, while the 6mm polyurethane screed offers exceptional impact resistance, durability and resistance to wear from forklift traffic.

The seamless finish supports hygiene and ease of cleaning, while the system’s thermal shock and chemical resistance ensure it can withstand both low operating temperatures and regular cleaning and sanitising procedures.

This project demonstrates Zenith’s ability to deliver specialist flooring solutions for food production environments where hygiene, durability and operational performance are critical.
