Stonhard, Stonclad & Stonkleen in Saudi Arabia (KSA)

Stonhard is best understood as a complete performance platform, not a single material. In real facilities, success depends on how the resin chemistry, substrate preparation, detailing (edges/drains/coves), texture, and maintenance plan work together. Stonhard’s model is widely recognized for being “single-source” from product to installation—meaning the system is designed and executed as one accountable scope rather than fragmented trades. This approach is particularly valuable in Saudi Arabia, where downtime windows are tight and industrial operations require predictable handover quality.

SolidDrops supports KSA project teams that need seamless flooring solutions with clear engineering intent: chemical resistance where exposure exists, wear resistance where traffic is continuous, hygienic finishes where cleaning is frequent, and slip-management where water/grease are present. Stonhard systems are commonly specified in epoxy, urethane, or fast-track chemistries (system-dependent), and can be configured for additional needs such as static-control environments or tailored textures.

In Saudi facilities, the most frequent drivers for choosing Stonhard systems include: reducing joint-related hygiene issues, avoiding tile grout failure, improving washdown performance, protecting concrete against attack, and maintaining a consistent professional appearance in operational zones and client-facing areas. Just as importantly, seamless systems simplify future repairs: localized refurbishment is often more controlled than demolition-heavy replacements typical of conventional floors.

Advantages

• Seamless hygiene and cleanability: fewer dirt traps, easier routine cleaning, and better control of contaminants in sensitive environments.
• Performance options by risk profile: specify for chemical splash zones, heavy impact, high traffic, wet areas, or controlled spaces.
• Design flexibility: color, finish, and zoning can be used to separate pedestrian lanes, equipment zones, and safety boundaries.
• Lifecycle ROI: engineered details and repairability reduce disruptive replacements and recurring patchwork costs.

Where it fits in KSA: industrial plants, logistics and distribution centers, education and public facilities, retail back-of-house, office and hospitality interiors, healthcare, pharma, water/wastewater support spaces, and any facility that wants a durable, low-joint, easy-to-maintain surface.

Stonclad is a family of high-strength seamless flooring systems engineered for demanding spaces where concrete needs real protection—not cosmetic coating. The core value proposition is straightforward: a Stonclad system is designed to resist the combination that destroys ordinary floors—chemical exposure, abrasion, impact, and constant traffic. In Saudi Arabia, this is especially relevant in manufacturing corridors, forklift aisles, loading docks, processing rooms, chemical handling areas, and high-pressure maintenance zones.

A key advantage of the Stonclad range is configurability. Facilities can choose a system variant and finish aligned to their risk profile: for example, heavy-duty mortar performance where impact and wear are high, texture where wet slip risk exists, and options that can support static control in sensitive electronics or pharmaceutical settings. Stonclad is also recognized for performing in environments with thermal variation (system-dependent), which matters in food and beverage operations that combine hot washdowns, cool rooms, and continuous production cycles.

Applications in KSA

• Manufacturing: production lines, maintenance bays, machine rooms, heavy traffic corridors, and warehouse floors.
• Food & Beverage: processing, packaging, service corridors, washdown-adjacent zones, and commercial kitchens.
• Pharma & controlled areas: corridors, staging zones, and spaces where hygiene and static management are required.
• Commercial kitchens: back-of-house floors that need cleanability, safety texture, and durability under rolling loads.

Advantages & Benefits

Stonclad’s benefits are practical and measurable: longer service life in aggressive spaces, fewer repairs, reduced dusting of failing concrete, and improved safety through stable textures and consistent performance. From a consultant perspective, the “best” Stonclad specification is the one that matches the facility’s exposure map—chemicals, traffic type, cleaning method, and downtime windows—then locks in details such as coving, terminations, and drain interfaces. Stonclad also offers sustainability-oriented options in certain variants, including formulations that incorporate recycled materials, supporting projects that track environmental goals without sacrificing durability.

Installation (What a Professional Scope Includes)

Proper installation is not only “apply resin.” It typically includes controlled surface preparation, priming, mortar placement to the specified thickness range (system-dependent), detailing at edges and penetrations, and the correct topcoat/finish for cleanability and slip management. When executed correctly, Stonclad becomes a durable working surface that supports 24/7 operations—ideal for Saudi sites that cannot afford repeated shutdowns.

Stonkleen is the maintenance partner to performance flooring. In many Saudi facilities, floors fail early not because the resin is weak, but because cleaning chemistry and methods are mismatched: overly harsh detergents, incorrect dilution, residue buildup, and abrasive pads can dull finishes, reduce slip performance, and create long-term appearance issues. Stonkleen products are formulated specifically to clean, degrease, and remove stubborn stains while allowing resinous floors to retain their finish—helping operations protect the investment made in seamless epoxy, urethane, and related systems.

What makes Stonkleen valuable in practice is its “facility reality” coverage. Whether a site is a sensitive healthcare environment, a harsh food production facility, or a high-footfall cafeteria zone, the program approach is the same: use the right chemistry at the right frequency with the right equipment. This reduces labor hours, improves floor appearance, and supports safety by minimizing oily films and residue. For large Saudi footprints—warehouses, plants, and multi-building campuses—Stonkleen is commonly integrated with ride-on or walk-behind scrubbers, while still supporting mop-and-bucket routines for tight areas and quick response zones.

Typical Program Structure (KSA Practical)

• Daily clean: remove dust, light soils, and traffic film before it bonds—preserving gloss and reducing slip risk.
• Weekly/bi-weekly degrease: target forklift tire marks, petroleum residues, and kitchen oils in heavy lanes.
• Periodic restoration: remove disinfectant films or layered finish buildup in healthcare or high-sanitization spaces.
• Spot treatment: address stubborn stains quickly (oil, rubber transfer, healthcare staining) before they set.

Why This Matters for Saudi Operations

In KSA, dust ingress, sand abrasion at entrances, and heavy trolley/forklift traffic make “appearance drift” happen fast. A purposeful Stonkleen plan helps stabilize your baseline: floors look brighter, stay easier to clean, and maintain safer traction characteristics. From a risk management standpoint, consistent cleaning reduces the probability of slip incidents and supports audit readiness—especially in food and healthcare environments.

Implementation & Training

A high-performing cleaning program is not only a product order. SolidDrops can align the plan to your square meters, equipment, soil types, and staff routine—then document dilution guidance and frequency. The goal is repeatability: predictable results across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Jubail, and satellite sites, with minimal trial-and-error.
