RSL’s Cristalbright takes the biscuit at Blackfriars
Date Posted: 26 May 2009
Specialist resin flooring manufacturer Resin Surfaces Limited (RSL) has put the ‘icing on the cake’ at a refurbished production facility of world famous biscuit and cake manufacturer Blackfriars. RSL has supplied Resuthane CB polyurethane screed from it’s new innovative Cristalbright colour range for use in the company’s main Leicester factory.
Blackfriars Bakery is a successful bakery famous for its cakes, flapjacks, muffins, Eccles Cakes and cookies, as well as introducing technology that increased the shelf life of its products by up to six months. The company’s main production site was in need of refurbishment, and Blackfriars turned to flooring contractor Fastrack Flooring to provide a new high specification solution for a key production area. The 1,200m sq area required a floor that could withstand heavy plant machinery, cleanable, have a low maintenance slip resistant surface, and comply to the necessary food hygiene standards.
Fastrack recommended RSL, due to its vast experience in providing floors for food production areas. RSL supplied its innovative flooring system Resuthane CB in Peridot (green ) from the new Cristalbright colour range. The Resuthane range has been designed for flexibility and versatility, offering all of the hard wearing qualities necessary for practical applications, such as the Blackfriars project, but with the introduction of the new Cristalbright range available in a number of bright colours they offer a change from the traditional colours and further enhance any production facility.
Fastrack Flooring used Resuthane CB, a water based polyurethane screed which provides a hard wearing, textured surface designed for heavy duty usage. A 6mm layer was installed and left to cure across the 1,200 m sq area during a six week timetable The floor sections became tack free in under six hours allowing the installation of new bakery machinery to be installed in a short space of time . In addition, Resuthane CBSL, a self-levelling polyurethane resin was installed at a thickness of 3mm in the staff preparation areas, toilets and corridors, to help complete the full refurbishment of the production site. Fastrack Flooring employed the wide range of colours to help distinguish different areas of the production floor leaving a lively green ready for use surface.
Dave Boden, Director at Fastrack Flooring comments: “We have often used RSL products in the past due to the quality and reliability of the products, so we were very confident that its new colour range of products would also be of the highest quality. It was fantastic to be one of the first contractors to use the Cristalbright range in such a high profile project.”
Ivy Wroe, Managing Director at RSL, adds: “We have a strong track record in providing the right products for use in environments where hygiene and heavy duty properties are required. The Cristalbright range is another high specification addition to our products offering something that is very different from the traditional colours available, and the interest it has generated amongst our contractors and project specifiers is really exciting. We are expecting it to sell like hot cakes.”
