The threshold at the door and curbs around the piping were built with Belzona 4131. To avoid a trip hazard and to ensure safety the thresholds were coated with Belzona 4411 Yellow. Then, the entire floor was coated with Belzona 5231 for chemical and water protection as well as to provide a non-slip and easy-to-clean finish. No more leaks jeopardizing the critical facility below.
