During the regeneration of balconies and walkways at a housing block in Dunfermline, Scotland, Sika’s fast curing Sikafloor® Pronto flooring system ensured the repair works could be carried out quickly, efficiently and with minimal impact on residents during the harsh winter weather.

As part of improvement works by Fife Council to upgrade its ageing housing stock, John Douglas Home in Golfdrum Street was externally refurbished with new waterproofing systems for the roofs, balconies and walkways.

For a visually attractive, watertight and non-slip finish for the walkways, as well as a fast-curing application to minimise downtime, Sikafloor® Pronto provided an ideal solution for the contractor and client.

For any external flooring system, impact resistance and watertightness will always be a priority during the specification process. Following preparation of the existing surface to achieve a sound, gripping substrate, the Sikafloor® 10 Pronto primer was applied before a Sikafloor®15 Pronto base-coat.

Utilising the quality products, design support and many years practical experience of Sika, the Golfdrum Street project was completed within budget and with minimal disruption to the residents – ensuring the client’s needs and expectations were met.
