PU self levelling flooring in Dehradun

Dehradun has an unusual number of research institutes, schools and colleges for a city its size, along with pharma plants in Selaqui and a busy healthcare sector. Labs, cleanrooms, hospital wards and school buildings all benefit from a smooth, jointless floor that is easy to keep clean. Our team is based in nearby Roorkee, so site surveys and follow-up visits in Dehradun are quick to arrange.

Research and teaching labs

Institute and college labs often still have their original terrazzo, mosaic or tiled floors. After decades of use, the joints are worn, some sections are cracked and the floor is hard to clean properly. PU self levelling flooring can usually be laid over these old floors after grinding and repair, which avoids breaking them out in a working building.

The new floor is continuous, resists occasional chemical spills and gives lab benches and instruments a flat, stable base. Light colours help staff spot spills and dropped samples.

Pharma cleanrooms in Selaqui

Pharma units in Selaqui use self levelling PU in production, packing and QC areas where jointless, cleanable floors are required. We cove the floor up the walls and can provide antistatic grades for powder handling rooms. Wet areas with drains are better served by a sloped PU concrete floor.

Schools and hospitals

Schools use it in science labs, clinics, dining halls and activity rooms. It is quieter and softer underfoot than tiles, which helps in rooms full of children. Hospitals use it in wards, corridors and diagnostic areas that are cleaned many times a day.

Dealing with Dehradun's damp

The biggest risk for any poured floor in Dehradun is moisture. The city gets heavy rain from June to September, and many older buildings have ground floors that stay damp for months. If a self levelling floor goes down on a damp slab, moisture collects underneath and forms bubbles.

Our approach is simple:

• We test moisture on every job, not just some.
• Moderately damp slabs get a moisture-tolerant primer.
• Very damp slabs get an epoxy cementitious barrier layer, or we advise fixing the source first.
• Where possible, we schedule ground-floor work between October and March.

Cool winter mornings also slow curing, so in December and January we keep rooms closed and warm until the floor has set.

Installation steps

1. Survey, moisture test and flatness check
2. Grinding of the existing floor and removal of loose sections
3. Crack repair, screeding and wall coves
4. Primer suited to the moisture reading
5. Pouring and levelling the PU, then rolling out trapped air
6. Satin or matt topcoat

FAQs

Can you lay it over an old terrazzo lab floor?

Usually yes. We grind the terrazzo, replace any loose or hollow sections and fill cracks before priming and pouring.

Can the work be done during school holidays?

Yes. Winter and summer breaks are good times for school and college work, and we can plan around exam dates.
