Floor renovation following the purchase of the warehouse – conversion of the production facility into a distribution center
Purchasing an existing production facility often requires adapting the floor to new logistics processes. In 2019, Probeton completed a comprehensive floor renovation for a manufacturer of HVAC control equipment. Our task was to completely transform the damaged resin-concrete surface into a durable, polished industrial concretethat meets the requirements of a modern distribution center.
Challenge: Removing old resin systems and repairing the substrate
The project required extensive preparatory work covering an area of as much as 8,700 m². The scope of work included:
- Removal of old coatings: Mechanical removal of three different, overlapping resin flooring systems.
- Structural repairs: Precise filling of hundreds of anchor holes left by machinery and repair of structural cracks in concrete.
- Architectural details: Finishing hard-to-reach areas around structural columns using attractive and durable resin coatings.
Solution: Polished concrete using the NORTEC® system
The renovation process utilized NORTEC® technology, which transformed the raw concrete into a premium-quality floor. The entire renovation process took just four weeks, providing the investor with:
- Low operating costs: A surface that is easy to keep clean and does not require regular waxing.
- Health and Safety: Certified slip resistance, essential for areas with heavy forklift traffic.
- Industrial durability: Resistance to abrasion and dust that exceeds the standards for warehouse facilities.
Impact and trust
The high quality of workmanship and timely completion of the project (8,700 m² in 4 weeks) led to an immediate extension of our partnership. The investor’s positive feedback resulted in an additional contract for the renovation of floors in adjacent sections of the facility.
