BACKGROUND

Hygrade Foods, a trusted supplier of premium meat products to Waitrose supermarket chain, upgraded its facilities to top-of-the-line resin floors. Spanning 3,000m2, these floors were installed by flooring specialist Polydeck. 2,000m2 of Sika® Ucrete® UD 200 SR was laid in the manufacturing facility. Hygrade Foods is part of the Tulip International group, operating approximately 18 sites across the UK. Notably, their King’s Lynn site boasts a prior installation of 8,000m2 of Sika® Ucrete® UD 200.

 

THE CHALLENGE

The specification called for a floor screed that excelled in hygiene, chemical resistance, and slip prevention for the process areas; while the engineering workshops demanded a durable, impact-resistant floor. In the corridors, the objective was to achieve a visually appealing, bright finish that also offered a soft feel underfoot with effortless maintenance.

 

OUR SOLUTION

Sika® Ucrete® UD 200 SR, a heavy-duty polyurethane screed, was recommended and applied at a thickness of 6-9mm, its profiled finish minimises slips and accidents in the workplace. Sika® Ucrete® UD 200 SR is impervious, can be cleaned to the same standard as stainless steel and will resist damage by cleaning and process chemicals.
