The answer was provided when Davies Shopfitting specified PICSTAIN from PICS Ltd of Newbury. The highly durable and aesthetically decorative properties of PICSTAIN were perfect for this type of project, in that it avoided the need for costly and disruptive floor replacement.

PICSTAIN combines metallic salts in a mildly acidic water based solution, that when applied to concrete reacts with the free-lime in the cement to colour etch the paving. Thus creating a variegated finish, with a mottled unique effect. In the case of the Hard Rock Café, a dark mahogany stain was chosen for the main floor area with an attractive terracotta perimeter stain.

However, good looks were not the only consideration. The interior fittings for this project needed to be completed to an extremely tight deadline. Again this proved no problem for PICS, who were able to come in 2 weeks prior to the opening and work with main contractor
EJ Lazenby Contracts Limited and other contractors on site to ensure the whole floor was installed over a weekend. Once complete, the surface was sealed by treating it with a wax compound, which will enhance its future maintenance.
