Our client contacted us attempting to construct a new veterinary flooring system. They requested a single flooring system to encompass every area of their operation and wanted something both decorative and functional. This meant that our engineer needed to specify a system that would look good but also stand up to uric acids, caustic cleansers and aggressive washdown procedures.
To prepare the surface, we first created the proper profile with a planetary diamond grinder and edged all perimeters and sensitive areas by hand. After preparing the entire substrate we applied an epoxy primer and installed 4” cove base. This cove base would eliminate the 90° angles where liquids could pool and ensured that the floor would be easy to wash down.
For the base of our flooring system, we applied an epoxy resin glaze into which we broadcast a custom-blend aggregate. This broadcast matched the colors of the company’s logo, providing a decorative surface while also strengthening the floor and providing a non-slip surface. We then applied a grout-coat of a chemical resistant epoxy would fend off any damages from animal urine or caustic cleansers. We finished the entire system by top-coating with an epoxy gloss coat, giving the client the glass-like surface they desired.
This highly customized floor was installed in five days and left the client with beautiful surface that would also stand up to their daily tasks.
