Another successful commercial flooring project completed by Focus Floors NI Ltd.
Scope of works:
🔹 Full uplift of existing flooring
🔹 Subfloor preparation
🔹 Epoxy DPM applied
🔹 Grip primer installed
🔹 Latex levelling compound applied
🔹 Final installation of Altro Stronghold flooring
A key part of this project was the subfloor preparation, particularly the DPM and latex system, which is crucial in commercial environments.
The epoxy DPM (Damp Proof Membrane) was applied to control residual moisture within the subfloor. This prevents moisture-related failures such as lifting, bubbling, or breakdown of adhesives and finishes — especially important in high-use areas like commercial kitchens where temperature changes and washdowns are common.
Once the DPM had cured, grip primers were applied to ensure maximum adhesion. We then installed a latex levelling compound, creating a smooth, strong, and level surface ready to receive the final floor finish. This step is essential for achieving a high-quality install and extending the lifespan of the flooring.
Correct preparation means the finished Altro Stronghold floor performs exactly as designed — durable, safe, and built to withstand heavy commercial use.
