PU kitchen flooring system for a large kitchen in Gießen
Waterproofing certified according to EAD 030352‑00‑0503 and with general building authority test certificate based on PG AIV-N.
Assignment and requirements
A hygienic, chemical-resistant and non-slip flooring solution was required for the 670 m² canteen area to meet the specific demands of a kitchen environment.
Key requirements included a liquid-tight composite system, seamless transitions and concave covings to ensure easy and effective cleaning throughout the space.
Particularities and challenges
The precise execution of the connection details was particularly challenging in order to ensure the impermeability of the canteen kitchen floor. In addition, it had to meet the highest hygiene and safety standards, including an R11 slip resistance, while also providing vibrant colour and a strong spatial impact.
The solution
The tested H2 KLB KITCHEN LOW-VOC PU system was installed using KLB-SYSTEM ABDICHTUNG CW 510 for the floors and KLB-SYSTEM ABDICHTUNG CW 512 for the walls. The waterproofing is certified according to EAD 030352-00-0503 and holds a general building authority approval (AbP) in accordance with PG AIV-N “Test principles for composite waterproofings underneath floor coverings”.
The PU 484 top sealer ensures reliable protection against chemicals and colour-intensive liquids. The system’s “Indoor Air Comfort Gold” certification highlights the use of low-emission products, confirming its suitability for sustainable commercial kitchen construction.
