2024
Cambridge, New Zealand
In December 2023, Cambridge High School S block officially opened. The new $12.4 million facility has 15 classrooms that can accommodate more than 370 students and has dedicated spaces for music, art, media, digital technology, electronics and careers, and classrooms for students who need extra learning support.
Project Requirements
The balcony areas experience ongoing high foot traffic. The requirement was for a coating that had a safe, non-slip finish and acted as effective waterproofing with crack bridging properties, resistance to wear, tear and UV exposure.
Challenges
Co-ordination was needed to ensure the balcony finish was completed and cured in time for the opening Monday 11 December 2023.
Sika Solution
Sikafloor-400 N Elastic system was chosen for its highly elastic, UV resistant, and slip resistant properties. The product is especially designed for use on balconies, footbridges, and stairways.
