Resintek Services were approached by Goodman Hichins to refurbish an old retail unit and create a designer shop in the heart of Covent Garden.
The job/challenge
The objective was to provide a bespoke and unique resin floor to complement the beauty of their 35m² store. One of the challenges of the job was working around an intricate channel where Goodman Hichins had chosen decorative tiles to be added to the floor. This was overcome by working with Arturo’s poured self-smoothing resin systems as well Resintek’s skill and attention to detail when installing the floor.
The solution/Implementation
A plywood substrate was the base of the floor. Resintek primed this with Arturo EP 6500 and treated all joints and screw holes ahead of receiving a regulating layer of Arturo PU2060 to remove the groove lines and smoothing out the surface to create the perfect base for the beautiful Arturo PU2035 green floor. Arturo PU 2035 is a solvent free polyurethane self-smoothing resin. Its soft feel provides comfort under-foot alongside a decorative and aesthetically pleasing finish. The final addition of PU3320 top coats provide full UV stability to the floor.
The Result
Goodman Hichins requested a specific colour: “RAL 6021 - Pale Green”. By working with Arturo, Resintek were able to choose from a range of RAL colours including colour matching services with the rest of the building. The resulting floor looks stunning and complements the décor which helps showcase the designer hand bags, clutches and accessories on display.
