Floor renovation with high requirements

The badly damaged concrete floor of a metalworking company in Hille, East Westphalia, had to be renovated. Years of heavy-duty use and heat caused by welding had severely damaged the floor. The client wanted an abrasion-resistant floor that would withstand the extreme environmental conditions and requirements and also impress with its attractive appearance.

Eichhorn GmbH from Bad Oeynhausen recommended the highly abrasion-resistant floor leveling compound VELOSIT SL 507 from VELOSIT, which was ultimately chosen for the 460 sqm.

Project Description

The old floor had to be partially milled out and then shot-blasted. Once the oil residue had been removed from the floor, the surface was pre-treated with the 2K epoxy primer VELOSIT PR 303 and then scattered with quartz sand 0.7 mm – 1.25 mm over the entire surface.

The installation of VELOSIT SL 507 was carried out with an M tec Duo Mix by the company Eichhorn Beschichtungsstechnik.

Although VELOSIT SL 507 is not suitable for sanding due to its extremely hard aggregates, it is possible to polish the surface and achieve a silky matt appearance.

The entire surface was also treated with VELOSIT FH 921 silicate/siliconate surface finish, which ensured an even denser and easier-to-clean structure.

The client is very satisfied with the result. The new floor meets the requirements of a high degree of hardness and impresses with its beautiful concrete look.
