Decorative fire-red floor coating in the shower cabins

at the Günzburg volunteer fire brigade.

Assignment and requirements

For the new fire station of the Günzburg volunteer fire brigade, the crew’s changing and washrooms were redesigned. The coating to be installed needed to have low emission properties for the recreation areas but also withstand exposure to permanent wetness. During the planning process, the idea came up to design the showers completely in red. KLB systems, that have been adjusted to match both in technique and colour, offer the possibility of creating particularly interesting designs.

Particularities and challenges

The excellent technical product characteristics of the floor and wall coating – in combination with the fiery red design – result in a surface that is durable and easy to clean over the long term. The finish at drains should be seamlessly connected to the floor and thus not provide any surface for dirt to accumulate.

The solution

System G7 KLB DECOR LOW-VOC PU Light Sealed is very advantageus from a technical point of view. The system is low-emission with a slighty slip-resistant but easy-to-clean surface. The build-up is tested and certified according to Indoor Air Comfort Gold. Scattering with partiColor® chips size 1 in RAL 3001 creates a subtle decor.

In the wet areas, PU 426 should be used as an additional flexible waterproofing layer. For increased resistance to permanent wet load, it is recommended to apply the sealer PU 882 as an alternative. However, this does not guarantee low emissions.
