The Challenges
The flooring created a number of challenges, mainly due to the uneven substrate, which had previously been finished in terrazzo tiles.
Polished concrete would have been the preferred finish if the substrate had been more suitable. TPS360 specified a resin alternative that gives the same look, using high strength epoxy primers designed for application over tiles to overcome the substrate issues.
- Uneven substrate with old terrazzo tiles
- Polished concrete not viable on the existing base
- Grade II listed Victorian building
- Primers specified for application over tiles
