Broadcast Systems
Scope
Broadcast flooring systems are the result of combining thin-film rollcoats with a broadcast material – sand and aluminium oxide for functional non-slip floors, or, flake and coloured quartz for more decorative applications. These types of floors range from medium through to heavy-duty, and have a total dry film thickness anywhere between 500-3000 microns/20-120 mils.
Key Learning Outcomes
To be able to select and apply a suitable broadcast flooring system, taking into consideration conditions, substrate and project requirements.
Theoretical Assessment Criteria
Explain:
- The different types of broadcast media and their suitability for various flooring applications.
- The product selection and application process for flake floor.
- The product selection and application process for a functional non-slip floor.
Practical Assessment Criteria
Demonstrate:
- The effective application of a flake flooring system.
- The effective application of a non-slip flooring system using a partial broadcast.
- The effective application of a non-slip flooring system using a full/saturated broadcast.
