Triflex Creative Car Parks

Our aim is to offer the total package of waterproofing, surfacing and protection solutions for car park refurbishment and new build construction projects. Through a combination of high technology systems and our extensive range of design opportunities, the car park environment can be totally transformed.

Triflex has been manufacturing waterproofing, surfacing and protection systems for more than 25 years, and systems specifically for car parks for more than 20 years. Our expertise in terms of both refurbishment and new build applications ensures that you can be confident you have selected the right partner.

What makes a successful

car park?

Whatever the use of the car park, the users are the key and for a car park to be successful their demands need to be met. Users expect car parks to be light, bright and clearly laid out in order that they feel personally safe and welcomed, and feel secure in the knowledge that their personal property is being looked after.

Why does it matter?

First impressions count.

A light, bright, safe, user friendly car park with attention to colour and design says a lot about what you think about the users. A car park which is dark and dismal ensures that if given the choice, potential users will park elsewhere.

Triflex PDS Triflex creative CAR-PARKS

The problems

Exposed car park decks are often:

Inadequately protected from water ingress and environmental damage, for example Chlorides and Carbon Dioxide, leading to long term structural damage and damage to property

Surfaced with unsuitable, low technology materials, or thin coat systems which are incapable of providing both the waterproofing and a durable, aesthetically pleasing surface finish. The consequences of under specification are system failure after a relatively short period of time

Difficult for drivers and pedestrians to use effectively due to a lack of colour and design options Difficult to clean and maintain

The Triflex solution

The BBA approved Triflex PDS (Park Deck System) provides exposed car park decks with exceptional protection from environmental, mechanical and physical damage, while offering almost limitless design options.

The heavy duty, thick layer, fully reinforced Triflex PDS has been designed and developed over more than 20 years to fulfil the specific demands of the most demanding exposed parking areas, whether in refurbishment or new build applications.

Triflex PDS

(Park Deck System)

Exposed car park and service decks over occupied premises must provide a high level of protection to the structure and property beneath, and a durable, safe, aesthetically pleasing surface finish capable of withstanding long term trafficking.

Triflex has more than 20 years experience in providing long term waterproofing, surfacing and protection solutions for exposed car park and service decks over occupied premises whether new build or refurbishment. The exceptional durability of our systems also allows areas such as ramps over occupied premises to be comprehensively protected.

Ramps and service decks

The Triflex PDS - Ramp variant provides optimum traction and abrasion resistance characteristics, improving safety and ensuring the maximum system durability in these high wear areas.

Triflex also has significant experience in providing waterproofing, surfacing and protection solutions to service decks and car park decks trafficked by Heavy Goods Vehicles. Based on this experience we are able to offer overlay solutions and specific design advice to ensure that all areas can be treated with total confidence.

(9)

UNIQUE FULLY REINFORCED MEMBRANE - The system comprises a unique, fully reinforced membrane with a fully aggregate filled wearing course. The reinforced membrane ensures that the System has exceptional resistance to flexural fatigue, and can withstand the stresses from thermal expansion and contraction, dynamic loading and cracking which occur in exposed car park decks. The System provides exceptional structural protection for the main deck and details from the damaging ingress of water, Carbon Dioxide and Chlorides. The membrane is resistant to all common automotive fluids, frost and UV radiation

The seamless application ensures that all details and potential areas of weakness can be incorporated within the same fully reinforced waterproofing and surfacing membrane DURABILITY - The PDS is a heavy duty, thick layer system with a dry film thickness greater than 4mm. With its’ fully aggregate filled, anti skid wearing course, the PDS is suitable as the waterproofing and surfacing system for heavily trafficked car park and service deck environments (BBA Durability Statement - 20years)

ELASTOMERIC - The Triflex PDS is elastomeric, which when combined with the unique reinforcement, provides resistance to dynamic cracking and flexural fatigue which cannot be provided by other systems. All regular and unforeseen movement is comfortably accommodated within the system. This makes the system particularly suitable for high movement and high risk areas such as trafficked decks over occupied premises COMPATIBILITY - The system can be used to overlay concrete, asphalt, HRA, SMA and some existing membranes subject to testing, avoiding the disruption and costs associated with removal

CURE TIMES - The PDS has low cure times compared to PU and EPOXY materials providing advantages to the client and contractor. The final finish coat can be trafficked after only 3 hours

COLOURS - Our range of finish options and special colours ensure the clients’ aesthetic requirements can be fulfilled. Dedicated pedestrian walkways and safe zones, together with colour coding can be incorporated from the design stage

JOINTS - The system can be combined with the Triflex projoint system to provide single source liability for the total waterproofing and surfacing package

CERTIFIED PROTECTION - The Triflex PDS has full BBA certification, confirming that it has been tested and approved at the highest level

RAMPS - For these areas, the Triflex PDS - Ramp offers optimum abrasion resistance and traction characteristics through the use of a basalt split aggregate and optional traction strips CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - The hard wearing PDS can be easily cleaned and maintained using conventional methods

The problems

Internal and external car park decks are often: Dark, dismal uninviting environments Inadequately protected from water ingress and environmental damage, for example Chlorides and Carbon Dioxide, resulting in expensive structural damage

Surfaced with unsuitable, low technology materials, or thin coat systems which do not provide a long term, durable, aesthetically pleasing surface finish Patchy and uneven as a result of surface wear Difficult for drivers and pedestrians to use effectively due to poor design and signage

Difficult to clean and maintain

The Triflex solution

The Triflex DFS (Deck Floor System) provides internal and external car park decks with exceptional protection from environmental, mechanical and physical damage, while offering almost limitless design options. Although ground floor decks may not have the same structural protection requirements, the System will transform the environment for users.

The heavy duty, thick layer Triflex DFS is suitable for almost any substrate likely to be encountered in the car park environment both during refurbishment and new build. The thick layer system can mask deck imperfections and profiles which would reflect through thin coat systems.

At Triflex we understand that the majority of wear generally occurs on the ground floor, internal decks and ramps. The Triflex DFS is designed to withstand this mechanical stress

Triflex DFS Triflex creative CAR-PARKS

Triflex DFS

(Deck Floor System)

Car parks are important, particularly when attached to retail or offices as they can often be your customers’ or clients’ first contact point. Creating the right impression can ensure repeat business, a favourable first impression and possibly increased parking revenue. Ground floor and internal decks are the most commonly used decks in the majority of car parks and their importance should not be ignored. Many decks may require structural protection and surfacing, however even ground floor levels where protection may not be an issue can benefit from a highly durable, aesthetically pleasing surface treatment. Triflex has more than 20 years experience in providing long term waterproofing, surfacing and protection solutions for internal and external car park decks. Our thick layer DFS ensures even the most difficult of substrates can be transformed. Subject to a conditional survey, the DFS - External variant can be specified in place of the Triflex PDS for multi-storey top decks which are not over occupied premises.

External decks and ramps

The Triflex DFS - External variant allows the economical waterproofing and surfacing of multi-storey top decks provided that they are not over occupied premises.

The Triflex DFS - Ramp variant provides optimum traction and abrasion resistance characteristics, improving safety and ensuring the maximum system durability in these high wear areas.

(27)

DURABILITY - The DFS is a heavy duty, thick layer system with a dry film thickness greater than 4mm. With its' fully aggregate filled wearing course, the DFS is suitable for the waterproofing and surfacing, or surfacing only of heavily trafficked ground floor, internal and external car park decks

PROTECTION - In addition to offering heavy duty surfacing, the DFS offers waterproofing and protection from the ingress of Carbon Dioxide and Chlorides to what are often neglected decks. The system can withstand the stresses from thermal expansion and contraction, frost and UV radiation and is resistant to all common automotive fluids

THICK LAYER - The 4mm thick system helps mask deck imperfections, providing a more aesthetically pleasing, easier to maintain system. The system thickness allows even profiled substrates such as lightly tamped concrete, heavily brushed concrete or crimped asphalt to be overlaid without the original profile reflecting through

COMPATIBILITY - The system can be used to overlay concrete, asphalt, HRA, SMA and some existing membranes subject to testing

RAPID CURE TIMES - Allowing maximum flexibility in approach and the minimum disruption to the client and users. The maximum cure time before trafficking by vehicles of any of the system components is 3 hours LOW TEMPERATURES - The system will cure at temperatures as low as 0°C DETAILING - Fully reinforced details can be incorporated at upstands, transitions etc. to provide total waterproofing

COLOURS - Our range of finish options, and special colours ensure the clients' aesthetic requirements can be fulfilled. Dedicated pedestrian walkways and safe zones, together with colour coding can be incorporated from the design stage JOINTS - The system can be combined with the Triflex projoint system to provide single source liability for the total waterproofing and surfacing package RAMPS - For these areas, the Triflex DFS - Ramp offers optimum abrasion resistance and traction characteristics through the use of a basalt split aggregate and optional traction strips

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - The hard wearing DFS can be easily cleaned and maintained using conventional methods
