Project Description

Oxford Hospital –

Hygienic, Chemical-Resistant Flooring for Main Kitchen Dishwasher Area

Project Overview

Oxford Hospital required a robust and hygienic flooring solution for the dishwasher area in their main kitchen. Frequent spillages and leaks had caused the existing vinyl flooring to lift and fail, posing safety and hygiene concerns. GSS Flooring was tasked with installing a durable, chemical-resistant resin floor system designed to withstand the demanding conditions of a hospital kitchen environment.​

Project Scope & Challenges

The hospital kitchen’s dishwasher area presented several challenges:​

• Frequent exposure to water and chemicals, leading to deterioration of traditional flooring materials.​
• Need for a seamless, hygienic surface that is easy to clean and maintain.​
• Requirement for a bunded area to contain potential future spillages and prevent water ingress.​

• Minimal disruption, ensuring the kitchen could resume operations promptly.​

Our Solution

GSS Flooring implemented a comprehensive flooring system tailored to the kitchen’s needs:​

• Removal of existing floor covering and mechanical preparation of the substrate to eliminate residual latex and adhesive.​

• Installation of a new bund around the dishwasher area to capture any future spillages or leaks.​

• Application of epoxy screed to waterproof the bunded area, followed by sealing and coating with a chemical-resistant epoxy resin.​

• Epoxy priming of the remaining floor area, prior to the application of a 9mm polyurethane screed, providing a durable and hygienic finish.​

The entire installation covered an area of 280m² and was completed within a 4-day time frame, ensuring minimal disruption to the hospital’s kitchen operations.​
