At Solidify Flooring Solutions, we pride ourselves on not just providing top-of-the-line resinous flooring, but also on delivering solutions that work for our customers. That means understanding their unique challenges and going the extra mile to ensure minimal disruption. This commitment, spearheaded by industry veterans Josh Purser and Josh Murph, recently shone brightly in a fast-paced commercial kitchen project in Spartanburg, SC.
The challenge was clear: a second-story commercial kitchen with an existing quarry tile floor was causing headaches – and water damage – in the space below. Failing grout lines were the culprit, a common issue in high-traffic, wet environments. Our client needed a durable, seamless, and water-tight solution, and they needed it fast to minimize downtime.
This is where the expertise of Solidify Flooring Solutions truly came into play. Understanding the critical need for a swift turnaround, our team devised a strategic approach utilizing the premium ProRez Coatings product line. Our goal? A complete floor transformation in a single night, with absolutely no lingering odors to disrupt the kitchen’s operations.
The Solidify Solution – A Seamless and Speedy Installation:
Here’s how we tackled this demanding project:
- Targeted Repairs with ProRez Coatings ProMender: Before the new system could be installed, the failing grout lines needed addressing. We strategically applied ProRez Coatings ProMender, a high-performance repair mortar, to these problem areas. ProMender’s rapid curing properties ensured we could quickly create a sound substrate for the next steps.
- Eco-Friendly Foundation with ProRez Coatings BioThane: Next, we laid down a seamless overlay and receiver coat using our environmentally conscious ProRez Coatings BioThane. This innovative material provided excellent adhesion and served as the perfect base for enhanced durability.
- Uncompromising Durability and Traction with Flint Shot Broadcast: Recognizing the demanding nature of a commercial kitchen – constant foot traffic, spills, and cleaning – we incorporated a full flint shot broadcast into the BioThane layer. This integral step significantly increases the floor’s abrasion resistance and provides crucial slip resistance, creating a safer working environment for the kitchen staff.
- The Ultimate Finish with ProRez Coatings ProSpartic: For the topcoat, we selected ProRez Coatings ProSpartic, a premium polyaspartic coating. This UV-stable and exceptionally chemical-resistant finish ensures years of reliable service, capable of withstanding the harshest kitchen cleaners and accidental spills.
The One-Night Wonder – No Downtime, No Odors:
The beauty of this system, and the reason we could complete the entire project in a single night, lies in the advanced chemistry of the ProRez Coatings products. Unlike traditional MMA (methyl methacrylate) flooring systems that are notorious for strong odors and require extensive ventilation, our chosen materials boast rapid cure times and virtually no odor.
This was a game-changer for our Spartanburg client. They could shut down their kitchen operations at the end of the day and have a brand new, fully functional floor ready for them the very next morning. No lost revenue due to extended closures, no lingering smells disrupting food preparation – just a clean, durable, and safe kitchen floor.
