2025 , Ten years on and returning to epoxy coating project
In 2015 Floor Painters Ltd was asked to provide a hard wearing floor system to the floor of a engineering workshop .
Unlike usual projects this workshop was on an island located off the Orkney Islands and part of an oil terminal complex .
To Floor Painters Ltd this was not a problem and we provided the customer with a hard wearing epoxy coating system.
Resin Building Products Ltd , Doncaster manufactured and supplied the materials .
The logistics involved was a challenge . getting materials, men and equipment to such a remote place but we achieved it and gave the customer exactly what they required .
2015 on the ferry to the Orkney Islands
Floor Specification was , preparation using industrial grinders both three phase and 110 volt machines . All grinders being used attached to three motor vacuum to remove the dust & debris .
Once preparation was complete our proposed system was , epoxy DPM primer coat , epoxy coating with full broadcast of emery aggregate . An water based epoxy to seal in this aggregate followed by a top coating of epoxy ultracoat ,chemical resistant coating all manufactured by Resin Building Products Ltd ,

September 2025 return visit
We was asked to return to the island to refresh the original coating an carry out another project .
The original coating installed in 2015 was in very good condition considering this was a busy engineering workshop .
The only damage was from where a large piece of heavy equipment had been dragged accidently across a section of floor .
The all area was prepared once again using our three headed planetary grinder .
The original coating did not have to be removed just cleaned and abraded .
Once the preparation was completed we installed the same system like we did in 2015.
Will we return in in 2035 , well I will be 73 and hopefully enjoying retirement but know like all our projects we carry out this one will still be going well for our client a testament to our installers at Floor Painters Ltd , their dedication to giving quality service and first class product installations .
A big Thanks and credit to Resin Building Products Ltd and their staff for their support, the manufacture and supply of quality materials .
