Following previous successful engagements in Belfast, Eglington, Ballymoney & the Isle of Man, leading builders merchant Macnaughton Blair turned to Advanced Flooring Systems (AFS) once again to supply and fit a new flooring system in their new Lisburn store.
Macnaughton Blair’s project requirements demanded a new floor system that was both decorative, yet hard wearing for both foot and vehicle traffic.
Being a preferred supplier for all the main global flooring manufacturers, AFS was able to review the specifications and recommend the best-suited flooring system for Macnaughton Blair – a MPM Duroglass Flake System. AFS began by using their own in-house specialised surface preparation equipment.
The concrete substrate was prepared using vacuum shot blasting and single head grinding to remove contaminants and help give a key for a new floor system to be applied. Following preparation, AFS then applied a MPM Duroglass FU Rapid primer coat over the prepared concrete substrate.
A MPM Duroglass P5/4 screed was then hand troweled on, with decorative coloured flakes broadcasted into the screed. Finally, grout (Duroglass P51LV) and seal coats (Polistar Deco) were applied to protect the new floor and complete the project.
The new MPM Duroglass Flake floor system gives the client a not only a decorative floor, but also one that is hard wearing (to both foot and vehicle traffic) and chemical resistant – perfect for a major retail and distribution outlet like Macnaughton Blair.
