Application Method

The application was carried out in accordance with a modified version of Belzona Know-How System Leaflet FPA-8. All grout lines running across the path of travel were saw cut with a diamond saw to remove the grout and create a space for the Belzona 4111. After vacuuming, the grout lines were masked off. After conditioning all grout lines with Belzona 4911, a standard Belzona 4111 mix was laid over the grout lines and finished flush with the tape. Dry 4111 Aggregate was then sprinkled over the area and the tape removed.

Belzona Facts

The customer was not happy with the non-slip matts as these detracted from the overall appearance of the area. The carpets would also start smelling which necessitate frequent replacement. Belzona solution was a clean and long lasting solution without changing the apperence of the floor, the customer was happy.
