Carleton University, in Ottawa, Ontario, is a public university offering more than 65 academic programs across a wide range of disciplines and offers 11 Residence Buildings for students who want to live on campus. THE CHALLENGE The cafeteria kitchen in the Stormont Residence presented a number of challenges due to the harsh characteristics associated with food service and production, as well as numerous safety considerations. Some of the existing flooring was cracking and failing due to the constant exposure to hot liquids and food products. Also, slip resistance was an extremely important safety consideration based on the amount of water and liquids that are present in this area.
• STONKOTE HT4 THE STONHARD SOLUTION The Stonhard team recommended combining 2 systems in separate areas of the kitchen. Stonshield HRI was recommended in sections that required easy cleanability, excellent physical characteristics, and outstanding slip resistance. Stonclad UT was used in areas that were continuously exposed to high temperature spills and splashes. Stonshield floors are engineered to provide attractive, slip resistant surfaces. Available in varying degrees of texture, Stonshield floors are also durable, chemical resistant, and easy to clean. Stonclad UT offers outstanding impact and abrasion resistant qualities in addition to excellent chemical resistance. This specific formulation is designed to withstand repeated thermal shock and thermal cycling.
