Uzin The Sainsbury Gallery at the V&A copyA UZIN system was used to install the ‘herringbone’ wood floor with the new Sainsbury Gallery at the V&A. The Sainsbury Gallery opened in June 2017 as a part of the V&A Exhibition Road Quarter. The expansion created a beautiful and unique space for London, and a world class gallery space for the V&A’s internationally acclaimed exhibition programme. The 1100 square metre column-free Sainsbury Gallery, is one of the largest temporary exhibition spaces in the UK and was created by excavating 18 metres below ground, directly beneath the V&A’s Grade I listed buildings.

The flooring contractor Architectural Flooring Specialists decided to use UZIN products because a high quality finish was vital at this prestigious project.  UZIN provide fail safe installation systems. UZIN also provided exceptional technical service and back up throughout the installation to help with any queries during the project. Firstly UZIN PE 404, resin DPM was used to protect the floor from residual moisture within the concrete substrate. UZIN PE 280 a rapid drying primer was then applied to the floor before UZIN NC 150, a heavy duty smoothing compound was installed. UZIN MK 92 wood adhesive was then used to install the intricate herringbone parquet floor. The new Sainsbury Gallery provides a spectacular, dynamic and flexible exhibition space and the floor helps create an outstanding, unique and atmospheric environment.

New System PRUZIN is renowned for innovating new products and systems to meet the needs of flooring contractors, architects and clients. The industry has seen a growth in the use of anhydrite screeds but has failed to find an answer for adequate protection against moisture. With this innovative system, calcium sulphate screeds can be permanently protected against residual moisture up to 95 % RH.

UZIN PE 425 primer can be used to protect areas against high residual moisture (with a relative humidity up to 95%) when used in combination with UZIN PE 404 resin DPM. Both products have been awarded an EC1 plus classification for being very low emission and provide the most ecological approach for flooring installations.

Waiting for damp anhydrite screeds to dry are now a thing of the past. The new UZIN system allows projects to be completed much quicker and avoids long delays. Whether you have a standard job or a large special project, calcium sulphate screeds need UZIN!
