Which system is recommended for exposed top decks in Saudi Arabia?
Specify System 1: an elastomeric PU waterproofing membrane (1.5–2.0 mm) with quartz broadcast for slip control and an
aliphatic UV‑stable PU topcoat. Typical targets include crack‑bridging ≥ 0.8 mm and slip class around R11.
Which flooring system is suitable for car park ramps and turning lanes?
Specify System 2: a heavy‑duty epoxy quartz broadcast system built over CSP 4–5 preparation, with epoxy mortar/slurry
3–4 mm and a wear coat. This is selected for abrasion + traction and resistance to oil, fuel, and brake fluid.
Which system is best for basement parking areas?
Specify System 3: epoxy self‑leveling flooring (2–3 mm) with epoxy primer and optional PU clear seal.
It is seamless, easy to maintain, and offers strong compressive, chemical, and abrasion performance in non‑UV conditions.
What standards and tests are commonly referenced?
Typical references include ASTM D4060 (abrasion), ASTM D4541 (pull‑off adhesion), ASTM E96 (water vapor transmission),
EN 1504‑2 (surface protection), BS 8204 (resin flooring), and SASO / Saudi Building Code (SBC).
Slip resistance may reference EN 13036‑4 or ASTM E303; fire behavior must meet local civil defense requirements.
What site constraints must be controlled during application?
Key constraints include substrate moisture ≤ 4% CM unless an MVT system is used, dew point ≥ 3 °C,
application temperature 10–35 °C, and honoring movement joints (sealed separately). Expansion joints are excluded from standard field coating scope.
