Bespoke Resin Flooring For Tattersalls

Tattersalls, Dublin

Tattersall, approached Degafloor as they required a bespoke resin flooring solution that could offer a very specific blend of outstanding durability, slip resistance, ease of maintenance and visual appeal. It was also crucial the new floor would be equally fit for purpose internally and externally, without losing its safety properties when exposed to weather changes.

Tattersall is an international firm offering 10,000 thoroughbred horses each year at 15 sales at either its Newmarket headquarters in England or at Fairyhouse outside Dublin, Ireland.

As a premier facility that offers only the best horses to the most discerning customers, Tattersalls takes immense pride in maintaining immaculate premises. This focus requires regular maintenance and refurbishment projects. Degafloor is proud to have been involved in providing them with bespoke resin flooring meeting their high standards.

Working in conjunction with approved partner Larsen Contracts (Ireland) Ltd, we were invited to assess the current floor finish within one of the stable blocks at Fairyhouse. We recommend a bespoke resin flooring finish, based on Degafloor’s slip-resistant Full Broadcast System.

To achieve the best and most consistent finish possible, the heavily tamped concrete was diamond ground and then shot blasted. The bespoke resin flooring was applied in 6 layers. First, a primer was applied, followed by a scratch coat to create a smooth and even finish. The main system layer was then installed and a full broadcast of bauxite was applied. The system was finished with 2 x coats of clear Degafloor MMA seal.

Speaking on behalf of Larsen Contracts, Contracts Director Eddie O’Brien said, “It is an honour to have been involved in this project and to work for Tattersalls and, in a small way, play a part in maintaining Ireland’s rich horse racing heritage.”
