    Freight Direct on the right road with AFS

    [column width=”1/1″ last=”true” title=”” title_type=”single” animation=”none” implicit=”true”]

    International logistic provider, Freight Direct Ireland, partnered with Advanced Flooring Systems (AFS) to successfully upgrade the flooring system at their main distribution centre.

    A family run business based in Larne, Freight Direct Ireland provides a comprehensive range of customer-focused logistic and storage solutions.  The UK and Ireland based logistics provider required flooring repairs and a new hard-wearing floor system installed in their main distribution centre in the Port of Larne.

    Freight Direct prides itself on offering the best quality service, with a personal touch to ensure every requirement is understood and met. With years of experience in supplying and fitting industrial flooring systems, and to ensure minimal distribution to their business operations, Freight Direct partnered with AFS.

    Following our free onsite survey, we created a tailored flooring installation package suited to Freight Direct Ireland’s budget and requirements.

    At AFS, we believe every good flooring project starts with good preparation. Using our own surface preparation division, we prepared the floor using vacuum grinding, removing containments.  All cracks and holes in the floor were repaired to strengthen the substrate and provide a good base for a successful flooring installation.

    Following preparation, our expert team installed a scratch primer coat to the substrate, then we supplied and fitted a new Vebro Polymers seamless polyurethane flooring system throughout the 1200m2 facility. This gave the customer an easy to maintain and hard-wearing flooring system – perfect for industrial and manufacturing environments.

    AFS the right formula for Newbaze

    [column width=”1/1″ last=”true” title=”” title_type=”single” animation=”none” implicit=”true”]

    Chinese baby formula specialists, Newbaze, engaged Advanced Flooring Systems (AFS) to upgrade their €20m facility in Carrickmacross Co Monaghan with a high build flooring system.

    Trading as Ireliffey in Ireland, the company has invested €20m in modernising its facility that will specialise in the production and packaging of nutritional dairy powder products for the Chinese market.

    Using the lastest surface preparation equipment, we began the project with aggressive remedial work to remove numerous old coatings across the 5,000m2 floor.  To remove any remaining contaminants, we further prepared the concrete deck slab using a combination of vacuum grinding and vacuum blasting techniques.

    After initial preparation, we installed two primer coats for Flowcrete SF41.  A further finishing coat of Flowcrete SF41 was then applied to the flooring area and coving, with additional line-marking helping to complete the project.

With years of experience in helping fish manufacturers upgrade floor systems, Young’s selected AFS once again to help them upgrade their floors in the production areas of their Kilkeel facility.

    Seagate is the global leader in data storage solutions, developing products that enable people and businesses around the world to create, share and preserve their most critical memories and business data.

    AFS had recently helped the worldwide manufacturer successfully replace a failed coating system over 1000 sq metres in their live plant rooms. Due to that success, Seagate asked AFS if they could also replace another failing floor system in their kitchen area during their weekend downtime period.

    Unlike other flooring contractors, AFS is to be able to specify the best flooring system to suit a project’s requirements rather than promote one particular product manufacturer. After onsite consultation with the client, AFS recommended a MPM Duroglass Crete PU (polyurethane) system. AFS always recommend specialised surface preparation for every project to ensure a successful flooring installation.

    AFS do not subcontract this vital stage out, but rather use their own in-house specialised surface preparation division. AFS started the project by removing the failed coating system using vacuum diamond grinding on the main floor area and vacuum-assisted hand-held grinders for edges and other small tight areas. Following preparation, AFS then installed a MPM Duroglass Crete PU screed to the kitchen areas.

    A MPM Polistar P867 sealer was then applied with 5% glass bead broadcast in to ensure the floor meet with current R10 anti-slip standards. As required by the client, the floor upgrade was successfully completed by AFS over the weekend – ready for the new working week at Seagate.

    Floor quality matters for specialist worldwide seating manufacturer

    [column width=”1/1″ last=”true” title=”” title_type=”single” animation=”none” implicit=”true”]

    Seating Matters, a specialist worldwide seating manufacturer, required another type of specialist – a flooring contractor to successfully upgrade their main production facility in Limavady. With a long reference list of similar successful upgrade projects, Seating Matters selected Advanced Flooring Systems (AFS).

    Seating Matters is a specialist seating manufacturer who improve the comfort and quality of life for those with postural and pressure management needs. With their successful product line, the Limavady manufacturer recently secured a contract with the US Federal Government to supply Seating Matters chairs to all veteran facilities across the fifty states of America.

    To help build on this success, the worldwide seating manufacturer required a flooring contractor who could help them upgrade the existing floor and install a hard wearing and decorative flooring system with R10 anti-slip properties. With a long reference list of similar successful upgrade projects, Seating Matters selected AFS.

    AFS’s unique ability is to be able to specify the best flooring system to help suit the project’s requirements rather than promote one particular product manufacturer. After onsite consultation with the client, AFS recommended a MPM Duroglass p5/4 flooring system for the 700m2 project.

    AFS always recommend specialised surface preparation for every project to ensure a successful flooring installation. Unlike other flooring contractors, AFS do no subcontract this vital stage out, but rather use their own in-house specialised surface preparation division.

    AFS started the project by aggressively preparing the existing concrete substrate using vacuum diamond grinding and AFS’s HTC650 grinder. Vacuum-assisted handheld grinders were also deployed to help prepare edges and small tight areas. Following preparation, AFS then applied two coats of MPM Duroglass FU Rapid primer coat over the prepared concrete substrate.

    A MPM Duroglass P5/4 screed was then hand troweled on and allowed to cure. To complete the installation AFS then applied a Duroglass MPM P867 hard wearing polyurethane coating with fine glass bead to give the floor the required R10 anti-slip finish.

    AFS deliver further success for Macnaughton Blair

    [column width=”1/1″ last=”true” title=”” title_type=”single” animation=”none” implicit=”true”]

    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.

    Photographs from the recent Macnaughton Blair project can be viewed online.
