Shane Arbuckle, Gulf manager – performance flooring and tiling systems, demystifies the company’s Ucrete solution
What are you focusing on this year?
Our focus product for the year is Ucrete — our range of polyurethane concrete floors, which is part of our Master Builders Solutions brand.
Can you share more about this product?
Ucrete is a polyurethane resin-based system that is long lasting, quick and practical to install and meets all the needs of modern food, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Durable and decorative, Ucrete products can extend the infrastructure lifecycle in highly demanding environments and can efficiently resist bacteria, organic acids and noxious chemicals — thereby enhancing workplace safety and hygiene. Ucrete is known across the market as the ‘world’s toughest floor’. Its convenient installation minimises business downtime, as the floor can be put back in service as soon as six to eight hours (maintained at 20°C) after application.
Why should hoteliers install your product?
The hospitality industry is fast-paced and highly demanding. Its workplaces are occupied by hundreds of staff and employees at any given hour of the day. Hotels and F&B outlets thus require a safe and non-hazardous environment to help employees work efficiently, stay healthy and ensure quality. Ucrete is easy to maintain and clean, is waterproof and abrasion-resistant — offering owners with a long service life. In the region, it has been successfully implemented in the kitchens at Dubai WTC as well as Barakat’s manufacturing plant in Jebel Ali.
