Free Site Survey

1

Tor Coatings conducted a site survey to thoroughly test the existing substrate and ensure any recommended system was fully compatible. This project required extensive preparation to the existing surfaces to a standard that will optimise the finish.

Project Specification

2

Unicover S was specified in a semi gloss finish to fulfil the decorative requirements of the project. The system is a high performance semi gloss coating that provides a long life, colour fast, extremely durable and easily cleaned permanent system for external surfaces.

Installation

3

G I Sykes Ltd were contracted to complete this project, with site support from the Tor sales and technical service team. After each surface was pressure washed to remove all contamination and loose material, it also exposed some areas of corrosion and poorly bonded existing coatings. Areas of corrosion were removed with grinders and then primed with the anti-corrosive RC145 Elastaseal Z Metal Primer.

As the store was in constant operation during working hours, measures had to be taken to carry out the works with minimum disruption to the store. The application was carried out using a combination of airless and HVLP spraying techniques to ensure an excellent finish.

Continued Support

4

The Unicover system provides flexible, durable, long-lasting protection for up to 10 years before first full maintenance. During this period, we will carry out a 1-year inspection and then a scheduled inspection every 5 years to ensure that the performance is delivered for the client.
