Installation:
The Travelers Insurance Claim University located in Windsor, CT is the company’s flagship location for professional development and leadership training of their employees. The area contains a risk control lab, encompassing a total of 20,000 sq ft.
This included elevated moisture vapor emission rates, as well as significant concentrations of inorganic (i.e. water-soluble salts) and organic (i.e. petroleum-based oils & grease) contaminants.
As a result, a conventional topside, epoxy-based moisture mitigating primer system would more than likely not have performed with the aforementioned conditions, even with more aggressive forms of mechanical surface preparation.
Following a careful review of the concrete substrate and a number of site samples, ProREZ and its certified installer, Engineered Coatings, chose to install a two layer application of the ProKrete SLB system. Prior to applying the ProKrete SLB system as a mitigating and isolation barrier to the concrete abnormalities, Engineered Coatings aggressively prepared the concrete surface areas using a double shot-blast method, which met or exceeded a level 5 CSP (per ICRI surface profile standard). ProKrete HD/RT was used for deep fill repairs from previously removed machinery to create a smooth and level surface.
The ProKrete SLB was then applied at a nominal thickness of 3/8”, followed by the application of the specified decorative ProFlake system. To add to the visual appeal, Cove Base was included for this project. ProKrete HD/RT was also used for deep fill repairs from previously removed machinery to create a smooth and level surface.
The new ProREZ flooring system has allowed for an attractive and professional looking floor that will maintain its integrity for years to come. It was a perfect choice for the area due to its chemical and stain resistance, and durability in high foot traffic.
