National retailer First Choice Liquor operates a network of stores around the country offering an extensive range of liquor brands...
Products are displayed on shelving and on pallets placed directly on the shop floor, involving constant fork-lift traffic. As a result, the existing floor at its outlet in Philip, Canberra had degraded badly and was creating a poor impression.
When considering options for a new floor, First Choice wanted a polished concrete look in a system that would stand up to the heavy duty environment. A sample of Flowcrete's Flowfast Terrosso system was installed in front of the loading dock doors with testing carried out over an eight week period during which time the sample area was subjected to severe treatment.
Fast-curing and highly impact resistant, Flowfast systems are ready to receive traffic within two hours of installation, enabling following trades on new build projects to begin work immediately. For refurbishment projects, the system can often be installed over existing flooring, minimising noise pollution and disruption to ongoing operations. These benefits and the impressive performance of the Flowfast sample led First Choice Liquor to select the Flowfast system for the Canberra store.
With trading ongoing seven days a week, installation of the 900 square metre area was carried out at night over a 10-day period, without any loss of trade to First Choice. Over one year on, the Flowfast system still looks new thanks to its superior durability and ease of maintenance.
