Situated in Gatineau, in the heart of the Outaouais, UQO occupies two sites within walking distance from each other and is located in a border area with two rich and vibrant cultures and the high octane activity of Ottawa. THE CHALLENGE The University of Quebec required a quick-turn installation on this large project, which was spread over an extensive area. 28,235 square feet of colourful flooring was installed on 5 different floors and 2 separate staircases. The architect in charge of this project was also looking to achieve a high impact, aesthetic appeal, and 7 custom colours were necessary to attain the desired look. THE STONHARD SOLUTION The Stonhard team suggested a system of 2 coats Stonkote GS4, in 7
custom colours, and 2 coats of Stoncrest GS3 clear. To ensure durable adhesion to the concrete substrate, Stonhard prepared the flooring by Blastrac on the areas receiving the Stonkote GS4. The areas with Stoncrest GS3 were prepared via the Prepmaster, followed by a light Blastrac. Stonkote GS4 is designed for long-term abrasion and corrosion resistance. It is extremely durable and the gloss finish permits easy cleaning and maintenance. Stoncrest GS3 cures to a hard, impact resistant finish and is also available in clear or pigmented versions. The clear application of this product complimented the custom colours selected with the Stonkote GS4. Although the customer questioned the dramatic colour choices before this project was installed, they were quite pleased with the final result and look forward to working with Stonhard again in the future.
