We teamed up with the designers on a project to provide a solution to the flooring in the front and back of house of the newly opened CAU restaurant in Bristol.
For the Back of House kitchen it was important that the new solution was aesthetically pleasing, but at the same time offered an improvement from a health and safety view, providing a hygienic, slip resistant floor finish.
We chose to use a heavy duty polyurethane resin screed product to ensure the client’s specification was met and to allow a quick installation.
The resin system used proves ideal for a food environment as it is classed as a non-taint product and approved by Campden BRI, allowing for installation around food products and production.The material is a water based polyurethane screed system that is formulated to be easy to apply and pro- vide a durable floor surface capable of withstanding heavy wear.
It is ideally suited for use in food and drink environments such as restaurants, where high standards of hygiene are required.
With regard to the front of house it was important to provide a finish that was cosmetically pleasing but also easy to maintain.
On this basis we suggested a bespoke flake system. The advantage of this system was that we were able to install this seamless resin system (ie no joints) throughout the entire 230 square metres.
In addition, we were able to apply the resin system to stair treads to provide a uniform matching finish.
The planning process for the front of house involved our director Grant Machen
giving the client the option to choose a flake design mix from samples that were prepared. Thereafter, the seal application was then adjusted to include a fine aggregate to provide the require slip resistance.
Again, with this attention to detail, we provided a bespoke system that met that clients’ specification and expectations.
The installation for an area of over 300 square metres and associated skirting for both the front and back of house took just over 2 weeks to complete and this met the
client and contractor’s installation timetable.
We have gained a reputation as a contractor who is prepared to work with
designers, architects and contractors to provide solutions that will be tailored to
their needs.
As a result, we have installed resin floors in a number of well know restaurants and chains over the years.
We are very happy to be working with CAU restaurants and have now completed a number of installations for the company.
