High-Traffic Industrial Flooring for BRC Gas Equipment (Cherasco, CN)
Strength, Durability and Breathability with Winkler Industrial Resin Systems
In modern logistics and production environments industrial flooring is a strategic component for safety, performance, and operational efficiency.
At the Cherasco (Cuneo) site of BRC Gas Equipment, the need was to upgrade an operational warehouse with a high-resistance, breathable flooring system capable of sustaining heavy traffic, mechanical stress, and continuous activity.
Thanks to Winkler’s advanced resin technologies, the project successfully chieved mechanical performance, substrate breathability, uniform aesthetics, and –crucially – zero interruption to warehouse operations.
The Challenge: High-Traffic Industrial Flooring
The intervention overed approximately 400 m2 of active warehouse surfaces. The flooring needed to ensure:
.
- Resistance to frequent machinery movement and heavy traffic
- Odourless, non-toxic materials suitable for application in an operational facility
- A homogenous, breathable, and seamless surface
- Strong adhesion on mixed substrates (tiles and cement screed)
- Long-term durability without compromising aesthetics
Objectives of the Breathable Application System
The Winkler Resin Flooring Solutions division defined clear technical goals:
- Optimal adhesion on both ceramic tile surfaces and cementitious substrates
- High mechanical resistance and abrasion durability
- Breathability to mitigate moisture issues (blistering, delamination)
- A seamless industrial finish, uniform and easy to maintain
Technical Phases of the Winkler System
The application followed a rigorous protocol to ensure maximum durability of the coating.
Substrate Preparation
Mechanical grinding using an HTC 350 orbital machine on both tiles and concrete substrates
Priming and Consolidation
Two coats of WINFIX FISSATIVO, with enriched 5% quartz (0.1-0.5 mm) for improved mechanical bonding One coat of UNIBAR T (approx. 1.5 kg/m2) for substrate consolidation
Finishing and Protection
Final abrasion with a single-disc machine Two coats of WINPAINT RAL 7035, a two-component polyurethane finishing resin.
Results Achieved
The intervention delivered:
- 400 m2 of breathable industrial flooring, ready for immediate operational use
- High resistance to heavy traffic, forklifts, and machinery
- Safe, odorless
- Application without halting warehouse activities
- A seamless, uniform, highly professional finish
- Long-term durability and moisture management stability

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Which materials were used?
WINFIX FISSATIVO – Water-based primer WINPAINT RAL 7035 – Polyurethane finishing resin UNIBAR T – Consolidanting and levelling base coat
Is the system breathable?
Yes. The combined use of WINFIX FISSATIVO, UNIBAR T, and WINPAINT ensures vapour permeability while protecting against moisture-related damage.
Is it suitable for different substrates?
Absolutely. Mechanical preparation and a multi-layer primer system guarantee strong adhesion on ceramic tiles, cement screeds, and mixed industrial surfaces.
How long does it take to cover 400 m2?
The Winkler system is designed for fast application and compatibility with active production environments, significantly reducing downtime.
Can this system be used in other industrial environments?
Yes. It is ideal for warehouses, production lines, workshops, high-traffic industrial and logistics environments.
