Upper Hutt, New Zealand
Te Kupenga o Rongomai represents a cornerstone of community vitality, offering a variety of spaces tailored to accommodate a wide array of activities. From versatile sports grounds to multi-functional meeting and club rooms available for hire, the hub aspires to be the epicenter of communal gatherings and shared experiences for Upper Hutt residents.
Project Requirements
A flooring and joint system was required for the balconies, walkway areas and bleachers. The Product had to be robust, UV and weather resistant, provide a non-slip finish for pedestrian traffic areas and could be coloured to suit the building aesthetic.
Challenges
Balcony and bleachers are exposed to all elements, which became challenging for contractors to install products in a timely manner in wet conditions and extreme temperatures.
Sika Solution
Sikafloor®-400 N Elastic was used as a slip-resistant coating for balconies, terraces and stairways exposed to weather and light to medium exposure. It is a one part, highly elastic, UV resistant, coloured, waterproof coating. Its low maintenance properties made it the suitable solution for the Maidstone Sports Hub.
