The Sikafloor®-32 Pronto deck system from Sika has been chosen to provide a speedy and durable solution for the car park at the intu Potteries shopping centre in Stoke-on-Trent.

The Sikafloor®-32 Pronto system was laid directly onto the existing asphalt to create a watertight, non-slip deck whilst minimising waste and returning the car park to full use within the shortest time possible.

Following a successful trial to demonstrate its bond to the substrate, approximately 2,000m2 of Sikafloor®-32 Pronto was applied over the existing asphalt to provide a slip resistant and hard wearing waterproof surface. Utilising the fast setting properties of Sikafloor®-32 Pronto decking system also ensured works could be completed quickly, with minimal disruption and eliminating the need for material to go to landfill.

Offering excellent mechanical and chemical resistance, Sikafloor®-32 Pronto has been fully tested to meet the highest crack bridging standards available on the market – including BS EN1062-7 Method B, which tests the complete system through 20,000 crack cycles up to 0.5mm @ -20 oc. This demonstrates the system’s ability to protect against water penetrating through the membrane and ensures the future integrity of the deck.
