When HMP Norwich needed to renew the flooring in its healthcare centre, estates manager Martin Hanson turned to RESYN Ltd to help install the prison flooring solution.
Having such an important area of the prison flooring out of operation for a long period of time was impractical, so Martin needed a solution which minimised downtime whilst also being totally safe and hygienic.
And after a long and exhaustive search, Martin settled on a unique Degafloor solution installed by approved installers– RESYN Ltd.
Martin explains: “Probably the most vital factor is time. If something is likely to take longer than a few days then we can’t do it, so the faster a floor can be down and ready to use, the better. In this case, installing new prison flooring within the healthcare centre was particularly specialist as it’s such a volatile area”.
“Those considerations meant we needed something tough,” says Martin. “That led us to choose a Degafloor Full Broadcast resin flooring system as it met all our requirements. And what really stood out was the two-hour cure time which meant the floor could be back in use just hours after installation.”
Martin also reported problems with flooding in the past, and this was another reason why Degafloor was right for the application, as the system is totally impermeable and resistant to fluid so will not allow water to seep through causing water damage.
“Overall, I’m really pleased with the quality and finish of the prison flooring solution,” concludes Martin. “It is exactly what we needed, with Degafloor managing to offer a suitable solution to each of the challenges facing us.”
Martin isn’t the only estates manager to have chosen Degafloor – HMYOI Huntercombe, HMP Doncaster, HMP Littlehey, HMP Nottingham and HMP Gloucester have also benefited from using Degafloor resin flooring systems.
