Safe year-round application
Owners and landlords simply cannot afford to shut down facilities when every day of closure costs retail operations a fortune.
Unlike traditional hot applied systems, such as asphalt, Triflex cold applied waterproofing and surfacing systems can be installed at any time of year. They are totally safe, do not use solvents and pose no fire risk. It means that new build properties can open faster and those in need of refurbishment can stay open while the work is done.
The curing process typically takes about 45 minutes regardless of the external temperature and can be walked on after just an hour. Minimal pre-works are required, the waterproofing and surfacing system can be patched or applied straight over the top of the existing solution. There is no need for skips and nothing to take to landfill.
Whether it’s a roof, walkway or car park, we can supply a solution that causes minimum disruption to you, retail staff and customers.
Solutions for the entire shopping trip
Our waterproofing, surfacing and protection systems are designed for every aspect of a customer’s retail experience from the car park, walkways, markings and signage, stairs, stairwells and access ramps to the roof. They are functional, durable, slip resistant and good looking.
Car park solutions
Car parks are subjected to high loads from vehicles and exposed to weathering, wear, mechanical damage and chemical attack. Over time this can lead to structural damage and failure. Owners or operators have a legal duty of care for the integrity and safety of the structure at all times.
At the same time a car park is generally the first impression that a shopper has and first impressions count. It needs to look good and also have good skid and slip resistance with clear markings and signage.
By providing a wide range of high quality materials, design assistance and colours, Triflex can meet all of these requirements. Our heavy duty, waterproofing, surfacing and protection systems provide long term structural protection that maintains its appearance and skid resistance over time. Using our systems can help to minimise accidents and improve a user’s safety and navigation.
Roofing solutions
For long term protection of new build and as a rapid, effective answer for repair and refurbishment, our roof and waterproofing systems provide the highest levels of certified protection.
Roofs on retail outlets are not only subjected to the weather all year round but often house a number of services such as PV panels, air conditioning units, cabling and ducting and plant. Supplying a waterproofing solution that can seal around even the smallest detail and be strong enough to take the regular foot traffic of maintenance teams for all these services is no mean task.
Our solutions are easy to apply using a roller or brush - so they really some into their own when navigating complicated structures. And once they are applied they only take 45 minutes to cure and can be walked upon with an hour. They provide a durable, puncture proof and long-lasting solution to even the most complex of jobs.
Walkway solutions
In the retail environment, how you get from A to B can set the mood for shoppers. Walkways need to be safe, slip resistant and good looking.
Triflex offers a wide range of cold liquid applied waterproofing and surfacing systems in a wide range of colours, textures and designs. You can also be safe in the knowledge that these fast curing systems are based on the most advanced polymer chemistry, providing long term safety and protection.
In summary, we can provide a walkway surfacing and protection solution that is ready to walk on within an hour. It will offer retail customers a safe and pleasant journey.
