Vaillant had used Elgood Industrial Flooring over 10 years ago to coat the old concrete floors.
We entered the tendering process and won the contract due to our unique product and emphasis on obtaining the best value for Vaillant.
Installation Programme: two phases to fit with Vaillant’s fit out schedule.
Flooring selected: Elgood Industrial Flooring’s Britdura 1000 A/S Solvent Free Epoxy Floor Coating in the colour Slate Grey. Additional colours included Traffic Blue and Yellow. The coating has a fine slip resistant finish for safety and appearance.
Ecological
We have always been able to confidently over lay our existing floorings thereby minimizing waste.
We reuse our packaging and use only solvent free Epoxy resin.
