During the refurbishment of the Old Barkers store in Kensington High St, the RG Group appointed Cemplas Waterproofing and Concrete Repairs Ltd to lay in excess of 3,750m² of Ronafix Polymer modified screed to the waterproofed areas on the Lower ground floor, and the mezzanine first floor which in turn would have a tiled finish during the final fit out. This beautiful example of Art-Deco architecture is now the Whole Foods Market organic food emporium and is the largest of their five London shops
Formed in 1969 Cemplas have a enviable reputation in the industry for their technical expertise in Concrete Repairs and Waterproofing projects, but in addition to these operations Cemplas have their own in house specialist flooring division providing technical expertise and high quality installation in all types of floor screeding applications including Polymer modified, fast drying, and free flowing screeds for medium, large new and refurbishment projects covering the retail, leisure, Commercial, Health, and education sectors.
The Ronafix screed required being laid with a thickness that varied from 6mm up to 100mm. When laying a modified SBR screed correct batching and mixing is essential. Each component must be properly measured by weight or volume and mixed to provide a mortar with the lowest possible water content but containing sufficient liquid to allow the screeder to achieve good compaction and a good surface finish. The mix design was carried out by a Cemplas pump operative and pumped through a Putzmeister Screed Pump allowing the operative to place spots of screed at strategic locations which would allow the screeder to set the correct height relative to the datum using laser levels.
