The region’s academic hub, home to key global, regional and local education institutions, with over 500 diverse programmes to choose from. Dubai International Academic City’s one of its kind community nurtures innovations with a diversity of programmes and courses, state-of-the-art facilities and all-year-round events. The facilities of Dubai International Academic City are the destination for thousands of daily visitors. This invites a significant amount of traffic to their venues and facilities. The management of Dubai International Academic City preferred the rustic and contemporary finish of Microcement and had it installed in its prime building (Building One) by a local installer two years ago. As a result of the significant level of traffic, the installed system failed dramatically in less than nine months from its installation date. Duphill was asked to inspect the floor areas, analyze the reasons for the failures and propose a solution to replace the floors and avoid future letdowns as the one previously experienced. Duphill’s team did the necessary due diligence and proposed the replacement procedure, with minimal disruption to the operations of the building. Duphill’s system choice was Forcrete Microquartz.

Forcrete Microquartz stands as a versatile and high-performance flooring system that seamlessly combines durability with aesthetic allure. Comprising a fusion of top-grade quartz aggregates and advanced resin systems, this flooring solution guarantees a resilient and slip-resistant finish. Its applicability spans across diverse settings, encompassing commercial, industrial, and residential spaces. The system’s distinct amalgamation of materials allows for customization of texture, color, and pattern, making it a favoured option among architects and designers in search of a unique flooring solution. Microquartz is the only known microcement system that is 100% waterproof by design without relying on a water/solvent based sealer to create a waterproof barrier. Furthermore, Forcrete Micro-Quartz is effortless to clean and maintain, ensuring enduring durability and visual appeal. Whether your project necessitates a high-performance flooring system for a commercial establishment or a residential setting, Forcrete Micro-Quartz proves to be an exceptional choice. Incorporating metal based divider trims, allowed the team to execute two different colours and finishes on the floors. The installation has gone seemless without interruptions that may cause ingress of contaminants and microbes into the floors.
