Dimond Flooring Systems require a minimum degree of maintenance to ensure expected performance is achieved. Careful maintenance can extend the useful life of the Dimond Flooring System.
As a guide the following should be carried out as often as is needed (this could be as often as every three months).
- Keep surfaces clean and free from continuous contact with moisture, dust and other debris. This includes areas such as exposed undersides, eg decks or suboors.
- Any surface cracking exposed to possible water ingress is fully sealed. Similarly ponding of water on exposed top surfaces must be avoided to ensure durability requirements are met.
- Regular maintenance should include a washdown programme to remove all the accumulated dirt or salt buildup on all the galvanised surfaces with a soft brush and plenty of clean water or by water blasting at 15 MPa (2000 psi).
- Periodically inspect the Dimond Flooring System. At the rst sign of any underside corrosion, the affected areas should be cleaned down, spot primed and then repainted to an appropriate paint manufacturer’s recommendations.
Any cases of severe damage or corrosion must be reported to the design engineer
