Minooka Subaru SPARTACOTE™ Project

Minooka Subaru in Pennsylvania recently expanded its service bays to include a new 752.5m2 space. The area is designed to be the drive-through commercial garage where customers pull in their vehicles for inspection and drop-off. Like any car dealership, high up-time and fast return to service on construction work was of paramount importance to the Subaru dealer’s owner, and this new space was no exception.

LATICRETE SPARTACOTE™ coating system was selected as the go-to flooring product for the fast return to service, safe, nonslip characteristics, and its customisable colours and textures. 'Subaru Blue' with a 50% broadcast of 'Midnight Blue' chips was chosen for the walkways, and safety yellow for the line striping.

The next day applicators taped off the outside of the safety yellow line striping, and put down protective plastic to cover the walkway areas. For the remaining space, medium grey base with a broadcast of 'Midnight Blue' chips was applied.

Minooka Subaru now has a finished floor that offers employees and customers very high up-time, safety, and custom Subaru colours. With proper care and easy maintenance, this floor will last for years in the commercial space. Click here to read the full story.

SPARTACOTE GRIP™ traction additive can also be added in to the top coat to increase the traction on the final product.

Over the coming weeks we will be featuring a range of LATICRETE SPARTACOTE™ Flooring Systems and the application process. The images above show the application of SPARTACOTE BLENDED CHIP system.

Firstly, measured amounts of SPARTACOTE FLEX PURE™ Pigment Base and Polyaspartic Pigment are mixed together to create the base coat for the system. The base coat is distributed evenly by pouring 'ribbons' and then rolling out over the substrate. Once the base coat has been applied, and while still wet, Chip flakes are broadcast evenly over the wet resin, ensuring total coverage. This is then left to dry before continuing the next step. Keep your eyes peeled next week to see the final steps of the application process.
