floor description:

For conversions, it is important that planning and work is carried out in accordance with the new DIN 18534 Part 1 and Part 3. It is important that the upper bonded waterproofing has a general building authority test certificate (abP). The extensive leakage tests carried out by an independent institute document to the planner and building owner that the waterproofing is guaranteed when installed.

In order to absorb and stabilise the alternating thermal loads, all channels and floor drains were completely embedded in a synthetic resin-modified, thermoflexible concrete. The seamlessness of the BARiT kitchen floor is complemented by the wall and appliance plinth connections with coving. In order to optimise cleaning and hygiene, the overlaid surfaces, coving and appliance plinths were designed to be smooth in accordance with DIN 10506 with slip resistance category R 9. The work and walking surfaces of the entire kitchen, on the other hand, were installed in non-slip R 12 (higher adhesion) with a V 4 displacement space. Category V refers to the volume absorption of water in the surface cavities. The BARiT kitchen floor consists of an epoxy resin-bonded, 6-8 mm thick wear layer and a 1 mm thick upper composite seal.

Watertight floor construction - implementation of DIN 18534 in accordance with W3-I with performance class C

Watertightness is a decisive factor in commercial kitchens. In order to realise efficient canteen kitchen technology and fulfil the structural requirements for fire protection, hygiene, impact sound and watertightness, a composite seal with a seamless kitchen floor from BARiT was installed for the approx. 360 m² canteen kitchen for the Baden-Württemberg Police Academy in Herrenberg.
