The Challenge
DK Engineering’s phenomenal success led to the requirement for additional car storage space. A mezzanine floor was installed to create this space and a suitable floor covering was required. The floor covering needed to look great all year round and to withstand constant vehicle traffic. DK also wanted the floor to embody their reputation for quality and attention to detail, whilst remaining functional for years to come so it needed to be low maintenance and easy to clean.
Location: Amersham, UK Space: 900 m2
What we needed to consider:
To cope with the constant movement of high-end motor and racing cars the floor needed to be exceptionally robust, durable and easy to maintain.
Due to the delicate nature of the vehicles it was essential that the floor covering reduced dust generated by the substrate.
DK Engineering’s storage space doubles up as a showroom, so the floor covering had to be smart and easy to clean.
The Solution
We supplied and fitted the area with our Ecotile 7mm thick tile in dark grey. Ecotile provided DK Engineering with a durable and long lasting floor covering that was installed with minimal disruption over a mezzanine floor.
Our installation team completed the job in a just under a week. To improve the appearance and provide an additional layer of durability, Ecotile recommended that the floor should be coated with Dr Schutz anti-colour sealer Dr Schutz anti-colour PU sealer
To finish the area, we had DK Engineering’s logo cut into the floor tiles (over six tiles) using a water laser jet cutting technology. The bright red logo matches the DK brand colours and really helps to pull the space together.
“Our interlocking floor tiles are frequently chosen for expansion and re-fit flooring projects within the commercial garage and workshop sector as they offer some vital benefits in this demanding environment.
Working closely with DK, we identified the Ecotile 7mm tile as the most appropriate solution to their flooring challenges. Like all our tiles the E500/7 is loose laid making it uniquely suited to installation on mezzanine floors. The dust that was being generated by the mezzanine is now completely eradicated and the floor provides the ideal aesthetic and practical surface for this environment. Dk’s highly discerning customers will be impressed by the appearance but it is warm and comfortable for employees to work on.
Our products are injection moulded using compound that demonstrates excellent wear characteristics, chemical resistance and stable electrical properties; easy to clean, durable and hard-wearing, the tiles are very low maintenance.”
