Production & Factory Areas

Facilities are expensive, they take years to commission and their lifetime is in decades. They are obviously one of the most important elements of a business enterprise and this is why facility design and the strategic thinking that should precede its implementation are so important.

Layout and efficiency are two important aspects in the design of production rooms. Polycote work with many blue chip companies in providing advice as to the toughest surfaces to install together with bespoke colours that will greatly enhance both appearance and workflow.

Commissioning Polycote approved installers to install your floors will bring unparalleled advantages! Using the same products, the same colours and applied by the same teams to the same standard ensures a uniformity throughout every one of your sites nationally, that you’ve never known before.

We invite you to consider the major benefits of every production room in every factory having the same colour walkways, the same line marking colours, the same safety colours, same sized hazard boxes, emblems, stencils, etc, etc. Your corporate image will take a HUGE leap forward.

Workshops

It is well known that engineering workshops not only take a huge amount of wear and tear but at the same time are one of the most important areas to keep clean and dust free.

Polycote have laid millions of square metres of flooring in engineering workshops throughout the UK, and we know exactly what is needed to give you a DUST FREE, hard wearing and long lasting solution!

Right from the first phone call, our experts will give quick and easy advice as to the correct preparation and the correct products to use. We establish exactly what your issues are along with the time allowed to complete any works. Only then will we advise on the best preparation, the best primer, right through to the best top coat or screed to meet your specific needs.

All the usual key words such as non-toxic, non-taint, totally impervious, slip resistant and easy-to-clean are obviously very relevant. However, tough and long lasting are also extremely important, and our coatings have been formulated to withstand wear and tear from constant foot traffic, pallet trucks and forklifts, even in areas that are in use 24/7.

Laboratories & Clean Rooms

Laboratories and clean rooms are found in the very heart of the manufacturing and engineering industries and regardless of specific activities, from basic tests to highly advanced biotechnology and even nanotechnology, the prevention of contamination is paramount.

Such is the importance to Polycote that the special needs of such rooms are not only met but exceeded, we have developed a selection of cutting-edge floor systems, professionally formulated to assist food companies, life science and advance technology facilities in maintaining their rooms to the highest environmental standards.

Our seamless and totally impervious floor and wall coatings are normally made of epoxy, polyurethane or polyaspartic resins. However, this is dependent upon the processes required and other factors such as chemical and slip resistance, electrical dissipation capability are all taken into careful consideration.

Expansion joints, so often overlooked, are extremely important features within the building structure and Polycote takes great care in ensuring that these are not only maintained but filled to a suitable standard with a highly advanced jointing compound. With a wide choice of standard colours, each installation is carried out by our own fully employed team of experienced applicators, assuring you of a professional finish and to the highest standard.

Warehousing & Storage Areas

In an industry where same day delivery expectations are becoming normal; companies are moving from short life single pack paint to the long term advantages of twin pack epoxy coatings. Being far more durable, far longer lasting, oil and chemical resistant, the strength, longevity and benefits of Polycote are proven without doubt!

With the added ability to produce bespoke colours, many of our customers are proving huge benefit from colour coding line marking, walkways, loading bays and fire exits, as well as the warehouse floor itself.

Furthermore, our installation teams are able to complete many other tasks, such as LINE MARKING, an on-going maintenance ‘nightmare’ which can be solved with our incredibly tough twin pack EPS Linemarker, FLOOR REPAIRS that are unbelievably strong and WILL resist constant heavy traffic. Our installers can either fill existing EXPANSION JOINTS using one of our highly successful products from our Jointex range or can cut new expansion joints as necessary. Finally, should you be suffering from rough or worn concrete, our installers can pour up to 2000sq.m of self-levelling screed (Polycote Easi-Screed) in just ONE day and have the area back in use in ONLY 24 hours!

Plant Rooms & Boiler Houses

Polycote’s tough surface coatings not only meet current Health and Safety obligations but will significantly reduce the aggravation and downtime caused by the need to re-paint. A plant room should be kept clean, free from dust and dripping water. Floors should be impervious, resistant to the chemicals used within the area and bunded sufficiently to contain spillage. It is therefore important that ALL fluids are prevented from seepage into the area or ground below and to this end, Polycote offers a diverse range of floor and wall finishes specifically formulated for the protection of plant rooms and boiler houses.

Furthermore, a clean floor will often enable an engineer to identify a ‘new’ leak and thereby facilitate a faster repair time. Not only can this save a huge amount of time but will also help prevent a catastrophic loss. Today’s clients often inspect supplier’s buildings and quickly identify the ‘true’ standards to which the company is being run. An old and dirty environment can have a massive negative impact whereas a well-run, clean and safe environment can cement a happy and long term customer relationship.

Chemical Areas & Bunds

Polycote regularly manufactures chemical resistant coatings bespoke to customer’s specific requirements and suitable for both internal and external applications. Most importantly, we don’t just sell ‘chemical resistant products’…… we offer you the protection you NEED.

Having worked with almost every department in the engineering industry, we are fully conversant with the chemical resistant coatings and application requirements needed to ensure that environmental policies are met, and the integrity of your company is maintained.

From processes such as electroplating, passivating to galvanising, from battery acids to the spillage of solvents and other petrochemicals, Polycote is dedicated to providing long term protection of your property from chemical attack. Chemical containment areas (bunds) are often of major concern as so many are unable to contain the specified liquids due to being insufficiently chemical proof. Built only from brick, block or concrete they are often unable to prevent leakage and environmental damage. Our chemists have formulated an array of chemical resistant coatings and screeds, not only capable of withstanding aggressive chemical attack, but also to stand up to the wear and tear of heavily trafficked areas of almost every department within the industry and all of our recommended installers come with the Polycote Seal of Approval.
