COMMERCIAL KITCHEN – CINCINNATI, OH – FLOW RESIN

In the midst of a critical turnaround, Surface Solutions does due diligence, performing moisture vapor transmission testing to get the job done right.

With her new catering business scheduled to open in a few weeks, our customer needs industrial-grade flooring installed in the 2,500-square-foot commercial kitchen (no cove base) in short order. Before any flooring decisions are made, Surface Solutions performs calcium chloride vapor tests on the existing bare concrete and new concrete around the new drains, which indicate how much moisture is coming out of the slab. We discover vapor moisture readings between 8-12 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft. To alleviate potential moisture issues in the future, our team recommends several solutions: 1) a required vapor barrier or 2) an application of a urethane concrete flooring solution, since epoxy systems max out at vapor readings of only 3 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.

Impressed with our professionalism and knowledge, the client chooses Flow Resin Flowfresh SLB at 3/16-inch nominal thickness with a urethane topcoat, for UV stability and chemical resistance. Flow Resin SLB is a cost-effective, antimicrobial treated cementitious urethane topping that is also resistant to high moisture. In addition to its aesthetic qualities, it provides an excellent alternative to traditional epoxy installations through improved durability, thermal shock resistance and resistance to moisture vapor transmission.

The entire job takes Surface Solutions just 48 hours from start to finish.
