HAI UNA RICHIESTA? 
Prima Flooring. Continuous work.
A durable and long-lasting restoration of degraded construction joints in warehouses requires a systematic approach and the use of high-performance materials.
We are talking about our patented, definitive solution
which we apply in the warehouses of the main large-scale retail chains in Italy and in many retail stores specialising in furniture, DIY and Ho.Re.Ca. wholesale warehouses.
A permanent and functional solution to the task at hand, because after only 12 hours, the surface is usable.
Restoration Steps
- Cleaning and Subfloor Preparation:
- Use methods such as shot peening, milling, brushing and suction to thoroughly clean the surface.
- Joint Reconstruction:
- The prefabricated Smart Joint® composite joint is laid in full adhesion to the existing substrate, becoming part of the floor covering itself..
- Joint Sealing:
- Seal the joint with a high-strength epoxy surface finish
Below are some pictures from the latest construction site that has just been completed, which showcases the restoration of degraded joints in the GDO warehouses.
How vehicle traffic affects joint degradation
Vehicular traffic, particularly that of goods-handling vehicles, is generally considered heavy, and consequently significantly affects the degradation of joints in industrial floors.
Mechanical stress: The application of high stresses on joints by heavy industrial vehicles like forklifts and trucks can result in misalignments or premature wear. These stresses can lead to cracks and chipping, especially in the area of the joint edges, where the stresses are greatest.
Unevenness and vibration: Continuous traffic can cause unevenness between joint sections, which can accelerate degradation. Vibrations and dynamic stresses can also speed up the deterioration process. This can have consequences for the safety of operators, the handling of moving loads and vehicle and floor maintenance costs.
Maintenance Needs: To mitigate degradation, it is essential to carry out regular joint maintenance or adopt permanent solutions such as SMART JOINT®
