Sika serves up excellent solutions on Graham Beck project When the world-class Graham Beck Wine Estate needed an additional bottling and storage area, CSV Construction turned to Sika’s renowned Sika PurCem flooring system to give the new building an attractive and clean finish.

hortly after completion of the construction, severe settlement cracking was observed in the concrete floors. Before PurCem could be applied, Anthony Webster, technical sales consultantcontractors recommended Sikadur-52 ZA, a two-part, low viscosity, injection-liquid based on high strength epoxy resins. Sikadur-52 ZA was used to fill and seal the cracks in the concrete floors. Webster then advised a three to four month wait to ensure complete sealing of the existing cracks. After priming the concrete floor substrate with Sikafloor-161, a two-part, low viscosity epoxy resin, Epoxy Flooring Systems then applied the final PurCem floor coating.

SLIP RESISTANCE Sikafloor-21N PurCem is a multi-component, medium to high strength coloured polyurethane modified, cement and aggregate screed with self-smoothing properties.
It was selected for a smooth, flat and decorative wearing surface with medium slip resistance for light traffic areas while Sikafloor-20N PurCem was used for medium to high loading and high traffic areas as the surface provides medium to heavy profile slip resistance.
