Project Overview
Tower House presented an opportunity to deliver a premium resin flooring solution across a high-end residential development. The project comprised two distinct phases. Phase 1 covered the ground floor, excluding the cinema room, while phase 2 addressed the utility rooms. The installation was executed over a sand and cement screed incorporating underfloor heating, requiring precise technical execution to meet the exacting standards expected in luxury residential interiors.
The client's vision centred on creating seamless, light-filled spaces with a continuous, uninterrupted surface flowing throughout the property. This ruled out traditional movement joints and demanded a finish that would combine exceptional durability with refined aesthetics. After evaluating alternatives, including microcement and polished concrete, the client selected an Arturo Comfort Resin UV System for its superior balance of performance, versatility, and visual impact.
Specification
- Arturo EP6600 – Primer
- Arturo EP6200 – Scratch Coat
- Arturo PU2030 (Calm Breeze) – Cradle to Cradle Certified Bronze Self-smoothing floor
- Arturo PU7310 – Protective sealer
The PU2030 specification represented a significant sustainability commitment, achieving Cradle to Cradle Bronze certification across five critical criteria: material health, material reuse, renewable energy and carbon management, water stewardship, and social fairness. This choice delivered documented evidence of safer materials while supporting excellent indoor air quality through low emissions and minimal odour.
The Challenges
Installing a seamless resin system over wet underfloor heating within a sand and cement screed presented significant technical complexity. Moisture management emerged as the primary risk factor, requiring rigorous non-invasive monitoring to verify substrate conditions and inform scheduling decisions throughout both phases. The existing subfloor exhibited visible cracking, which required targeted glass-fibre reinforcement to prevent reflections through the finished surface, while comprehensive cleaning and priming established the adhesion foundation for subsequent layers.
Dividing the installation into two phases whilst maintaining visual continuity added logistical complexity. Material batches, colour matching, curing conditions and application techniques required careful control to ensure seamless transitions, with coordination needed around client access, material deliveries and optimal environmental conditions. The client's specification demanded a durable finish capable of withstanding daily residential use whilst creating the seamless, light-filled aesthetic of luxury interiors, all delivered through sustainable product selection with verified low emissions, minimal waste generation, and reduced lifecycle environmental impact.
The Results
A 144 m² seamless resin floor was installed that met all performance specifications and exceeded aesthetic expectations. The multi-layer system, including EP6600 primer, EP6200 scratch coat, PU2030 self-smoothing floor and PU7310 sealer, delivered a durable, uniform finish with reliable adhesion. Glass-fibre crack reinforcement and a comprehensive moisture-management strategy prevented substrate movement from being reflected through the floor and ensured stable performance under the underfloor heating. Phased scheduling allowed controlled curing and quality inspections at each stage, and return visits confirmed material performance matched specifications, producing the smooth, joint-free surface the client wanted.
The specification of Arturo PU2030 (Calm Breeze) improved indoor air quality as it is Cradle to Cradle Bronze certified, low-VOC and low-odour during and after installation. The formulation includes plant-based raw materials (including castor-bean derivatives), reducing the floor’s environmental footprint while maintaining durability and appearance.
The finished floor meets luxury residential demands, hard-wearing, impact-resistant and low-maintenance, requiring minimal cleaning and fewer harsh chemicals. This lowers operational costs and environmental impact over the floor’s service life, giving the client a finish that performs as well as it looks and protects their investment in the long term.
