Blowplast Ltd, High Wycombe
Blowplast Ltd manufacture plastic milk bottles and have two sites in the UK; in High Wycombe and Sheffield.
Their success presents challenges in terms of maintenance especially as they operate 24/7 so they needed a floor covering that would fit arund their busy production schedule without disruption.
Location: High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire
Volume: 1800m2 in 2 units
The Challenge
- The paint on the concrete floor could not withstand the trolleys that transport the product from the production line to the warehouse.
- The 24/7 nature of Blowplast’s operation meant it was impossible to take the time required to prepare the substrate to allow a resin coating to take and the curing time necessary would also take too long.
- A low maintenance and easy to clean alternative was required to eliminate ongoing issues in the long term.
The Solution
Market-leading manufacturer of interlocking floor tiles, Ecotile, designs and produces its comprehensive range at its UK production facility - providing durable and safe flooring solutions that can be installed with minimal disruption in commercial and industrial applications around the world.
“Our interlocking floor tiles are frequently chosen for flooring projects where the substrate is problematic. The interlocking tile system means Ecotile can be dry laid over any hard surface including oily, damp, uneven or contaminated floors quickly and easily”
James Gedye, Founder & CEO, Ecotile
“Before committing to the full 1800m2 we installed a trial area in the busiest section of the warehouse with constant forklift traffic and left it for 4-5 months. Once we were satisfied the tiles could cope with the demands of our environment we went ahead and are very happy with the improved appearance and how easy it is to clean. Ecotile is good value and we are considering expanding it’s use to the warehouse”
