Stansted Airport

Essex

British Airports Authority (BAA) and architects, Foster and Partners, specified Ronacrete’s RonaDeck Resin Bonded Surfacing to provide an attractive, slip-resistant surface over original granite and marble slabs. The existing coating was ground down to expose the original marble paving, and RonaDeck Resin Bonded Surfacing was then applied. BAA’s criteria for the new slip-resistant coating included aesthetics, slip resistance, fast curing for speed of recommissioning and optimum safety during application. RonaDeck Resin Bonded Surfacing was applied at night and was cured and ready for traffic by the time the airport got busy in the morning.
