Increasingly scarce prime waterfront locations in Coolum, Sunshine Coast was the driver behind a 100 unit residence designed to maximise waterfront access to as wide a target as possible and to maximise payback on the land value.

100 residences brings with it a minimum of 200 feet each day combined with the constant movements of other family and friends and necessitates a durable option to protect the substrate from the foot traffic and vice versa.

A coatings system of one coat of Altex 504 epoxy primer followed by two coats of Altex E~Line 379 polyurethane tinted to AS2700 Pewter and A2700 Charcoal and a final coat of Altex E~Line 379 clear with non-skid pearls combines the desired durability with an anti-skid surface allowing foot traffic to safely pass over the finish without risk of slipping.

Keen to recreate a tile effect without the need to lay extensive networks of tiles, tapes were placed over the substrate before coating. Once coated, the removal of the tapes left a distinctive tile feature at a fraction of the cost.

With excellent adhesion and UV resistance built in, this coating system can foot it with the best.
