Trafficable Coatings

Trafficable Coatings

Trafficable coatings are a core part of CCL’s business, that has evolved and developed over the years; this includes various types of trafficable coatings that CCL offers to the market.

They can be durable, protective, or have decorative finishes for the commercial, leisure, manufacturing, data storage and healthcare industries. Applications range from multi-level plantroom floors, hospital theatres, under raised access floors, bund alignment systems, television studios, offices, and carparks – to name just a few.

Here at CCL, we understand how important it is that the correct coating is selected, meeting the intention and your requirements for different goals such as aesthetic improvement, supplying waterproofing or protecting concrete surfaces. There are various coatings available on the market offering differing degrees of protection. These include Polyurethane systems, Epoxy resin-based coatings, PMMA systems (Poly-methyl methacrylates) and floor sealers.

Expertise

CCL has expertise in installing hard wearing epoxy floor coatings and installed hundreds of thousands of square metres over the years. This is often by means of specialist airless spray pumps that it has in its armoury, which in turn, increases the speed of the installation and quality of finish. The largest project that CCL has undertaken to date involved a data centre in Wakefield where over 20,000m2 of RIW’s Toughseal epoxy solvent-free liquid applied membrane was selected to be supplied and installed. This was applied over the considerably large server room floors and bomb blast slabs as a preventative membrane to protect the floors below should any leaks occur, or sprinklers activate.

Another scenario that the specialist team at CCL are commonly faced with involves protective plant room floor coatings, whereby CCL would commonly install liquid applied epoxy floor coatings, combined with a non-slip aggregate blinded into the topcoat to provide a hard-wearing trafficable coating. Other projects that CCL have undertaken include extensive plant rooms to custom-built state-of-the-art hospitals, research laboratories, changing rooms and swimming pool side areas, and more recently, aircraft hangar slabs.

Approved

Approved with all the leading manufacturers, CCL can also offer bespoke metal-fabricated bund angles. These are fully water tested prior to handover and offered as part of CCL’s long-term guarantee that it provides to clients.

As the floor coating is only as good as the substrate it is applied to, CCL can also offer a concrete preparation service to ensure the substrate is suitably prepared and free of surface laitance etc. This ensures that the liquid-applied coating fully bonds to the substrate effectively. This will often involve dust-free shot grit blasting techniques, often proving to be the fastest and most efficient form of old/new floor preparation and removal of surface laitance.
