Old Street Underground Station, a key transit hub in London, underwent significant refurbishment led by Morgan Sindall. During this project, Cotech Coatings was tasked by three different companies to apply their innovative Cotech Clear Coat Easy Clean solution.
Old Street Station is a bustling centre for commuters, tourists, and residents alike and serves around 21 million passengers annually. The station’s environment necessitates durable, sustainable solutions that can withstand high traffic and maintain aesthetic appeal. Recognising these needs, Cotech Coatings implemented their signature product, Cotech Clear Coat Easy Clean, across various surfaces within the station.
Benefits of Cotech Clear Coat Easy Clean
The application of Cotech Clear Coat Easy Clean at Old Street Station showcased several advantages:
Sustainability
Cotech’s solution is designed with sustainability in mind. It reduces the need for frequent maintenance, harsh cleaning and replacements, thereby conserving resources and reducing waste. This aligns with contemporary environmental goals and offers a long-term cost-effective strategy for infrastructure maintenance.
Longevity
The coating significantly extends the life span of surfaces by providing a robust protective layer. Its durable nature means that it can effectively resist wear and tear over time, which is crucial for a high-traffic area like Old Street Station.
Extremely Hard Wearing
Cotech Clear Coat Easy Clean is formulated to be extremely hard-wearing, ensuring that surfaces remain intact despite the challenges posed by daily commuter traffic and environmental factors. This toughness translates to reduced downtime for repairs and maintenance.
UV Stable
The UV stability of the coating ensures that surfaces maintain their original appearance without fading or degradation due to sunlight exposure. This is particularly important for outdoor areas or spaces with natural light, preserving the visual integrity of the station.
Anti-Graffiti
One of the standout features of the Cotech Clear Coat Easy Clean is its anti-graffiti capability. This feature protects surfaces from vandalism, making it easier to clean off graffiti without damaging the underlying material. This not only saves money on restoration but also helps maintain a welcoming environment for all users.
The application of Cotech Clear Coat Easy Clean at Old Street Underground Station underscores the effectiveness of advanced coating technologies in enhancing infrastructure sustainability and longevity. By choosing Cotech, the refurbishment teams ensured that the station would remain functional and visually appealing, even under the pressures of daily public use.
