With ARDEX, The Flooring Solution Becomes 'Childs Play'
Premier manufacturer of commercial flooring systems, ARDEX UK, and flooring contractors, Hull Flooring Limited, joined forces to provide the ideal flooring solution for a large new toy store in Birmingham.
Smyths Toys Superstores is a leading provider of children's entertainment products with 12 stores throughout Great Britain. Offering a large range of toys, bikes and video games, books and activity kits, Smyths Toys Superstores help to encourage learning, and develop creativity for children of all ages.
To commence the 1200m² installation, ARDEX K 11 Levelling and Smoothing Compound was applied to provide a smooth and flat surface. Developed for use from 1.5 and 10mm thickness, ARDEX K 11 is a cost effective solution for levelling and smoothing sub-floors such as cement/sand screeds, gypsum screeds and concrete. Fast track projects benefit from ARDEX K 11 as it is hard enough to walk on only 2½ hours after application and final floorcoverings such as vinyl, linoleum, carpet etc., can normally be applied the next day at 20°C. In addition, it can also be used with underfloor heating systems and is fully compatible with the comprehensive range of screeds, repair mortars, DPM’s and floorcovering adhesives from ARDEX.
To conclude, ARDEX AF 100 Pressure Sensitive Acrylic Flooring Adhesive was used to fix Polyflor Mystique PUR vinyl sheet throughout the retail areas, with Polyflor Polyflex Plus vinyl tiles installed to ‘back of house’. With built-in benefits including its solvent free formulation, very low odour and high yield, ARDEX AF 100 has an outstanding reputation for impressive on-site performance, and as a result, has become the flooring industry’s preferred pressure sensitive adhesive.
Commenting on the project, Sean Dawson, Managing Director of Hull Flooring said, “The brief was to provide a cost efficient, fast track flooring solution that would withstand the needs of a busy retail environment. ARDEX comprehensively fulfilled the criteria, and enabled us to complete another excellent installation on budget, and on time”.
