Jay Summers, Managing Director of Bedford-based Mayfair Decorating Contractors who completed the renovation, said: “I have used TD39 previously and I trust it to do the job. It was the first time for me with DP9, but I found it very user-friendly.”
Four coats of the high-performance, water-based acrylic floor paint were applied by roller by a team of two. Completing the task in two phases meant the building could remain in use. Once the surface was fully cured, it was again able to withstand fork-lift traffic.
Thanks to DP9’s quick recoat time of just one hour, it was possible to apply two coats in a day.
“Because the DP9 is water-based rather than epoxy resin, it is not thick and gloopy which makes it easy to apply,” said Jay.
Bradite Technical Sales Manager, James Burton, re-assured him of the suitability of the product and the correct method of use. Jay said: “I can’t fault Bradite or James for the advice given, I’d use it again. You’d be silly not to.”
