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.
Advanced Flooring Systems (AFS) provides the Irish & UK market with the complete Industrial & Commercial flooring package. Founded in 2007, the company has achieved rapid growth through the completion of many successful past projects throughout Ireland & the UK.
AFS pride themselves in being different from other flooring contractors due to their wealth of industry & technical experience and also by being the approved applicators for Sika, Flowcrete, MC Building Chemicals, Resdev, Dow, Larsens & MPM. This allows AFS to specify the correct system to suit the customer’s requirements – not the suppliers.

From anti-slip, decorative, hard wearing, chemical resistant or anti-static flooring systems, we have your flooring needs covered.
We’ve been providing the UK & Irish market with leading and innovative industrial flooring solutions for over 15 years.
Our Industrial Flooring division is able to both supply and fit quality epoxy resin flooring and polyurethane flooring systems, which are particularly suitable for industrial environments such as Food, Engineering, Warehousing, Healthcare, Aviation and many other industries where a hard-wearing, attractive floor finish is required. Properties such as anti-slip and enhanced chemical resistance can also be incorporated where necessary.
We use a wide range of resins from the major suppliers such as Sika, Flowcrete, Remmers and Larsens; ensuring we can choose the correct supplier to suit your project, rather than the suppliers!
In any Industrial Flooring project, surface preparation is key, this is why we use our own in-house surface preparation division which has access to all the latest vacuum assisted preparation equipment.
