Manukau City
Commercial Floor Polyfusion Coating

Commercial floors take a different kind of punishment to walls or roofs, with constant foot and vehicle traffic, standing water and repeated cleaning all working against whatever coating is holding the surface together. At this Manukau City site, conventional painted floor coatings were always going to be at risk of wearing through under that level of daily use, which called for a flooring system built to handle the load rather than a topcoat needing regular renewal.

BlastOff addressed the floor as its own system, starting with abrasive blasting to create the surface profile the coating needed to bond properly, then applying IBIX Polyfusion as a certified IBIX applicator. The polymer was thermally applied and fused directly onto the prepared concrete rather than laid on as a surface film, with coverage checked throughout the installation to confirm the floor was building up consistently across the whole treated area instead of relying on a single uneven pass. That verification step matters on a floor specifically, since gaps in coverage show up quickly under vehicle and foot traffic in a way they might not on a wall or vertical surface.

The finished floor at Manukau City now combines waterproofing and slip resistance in one continuous system, giving it a durable surface built for the traffic and cleaning regime it will face day to day rather than a coating that needs monitoring for early wear. For property and facilities teams specifying commercial flooring, it’s worth treating floors as a higher-risk category than walls when choosing a coating system, since the combination of moisture, weight and constant contact means preparation quality and bond strength matter more underfoot than almost anywhere else on a site, and confirming expected traffic loads and cleaning methods before the coating is chosen helps avoid specifying a system that looks right on paper but wears faster than expected in practice.
