As we approach the Christmas season, the usual scenes start to replay: the lights, decorations, food, music and of course the most resonating scene of all - buzzing shopping centres with every car parking space occupied in the multi-storey car parks. While many facilities may take a breather over the holiday period and while slower demand may see offices and factories close, retail spaces get busier, and consequently, multi-storey car parks too.
For facilities managers and car park owners, it is important to ensure your car park is fit for the festive season, particularly large retail buildings where the car park may be situated above the premises. Rather than replacing your original asphalt deck why not think about refurbishment to save time and labour. Flowcrete’s Deckshield Rapide EDF system is great for upgrading existing asphalt waterproofing – its speed of cure and low temperature cure, enables fast installation and provides an aesthetic upgrade to your car park.
Deckshield Rapide EDF is a rapid cure methyl methacrylate (MMA) top deck waterproofing system providing the highest protection for use above occupied spaces and safeguards against the movement of parking structures. To ensure that no water, chemicals or any other liquids will leak through from your overhead carpark, the crack-bridging deck coating solution is installed in the car park with a fully fleece reinforced membrane. This will further enhance deck performance especially in high-risk areas providing the utmost protection. MMA systems survive intensive conditions, while being seamless, impervious, easy to clean, colourful and slip resistant. MMA technology has become a popular choice for quick turn-around waterproofing upgrades allowing refurbishments to quickly proceed.
Flowcrete’s Deckshield also includes systems perfect for renovating and rejuvenating tired decks, ramps and turning circles. During the festive season, retail multi-storey car park spaces experience a high volume of vehicles traversing and overtime this can increase the risk of movement across the frame of the structure and the decks themselves. Flowcrete has designed its Deckshield range to perfectly combine the right levels of durability and flexibility for large and busy car park environments. Flowcrete has an excellent track record in asphalt overlays and has a technical team on hand to support your refurbishment project.
