FLOORING Trampoline Park refurbishment Almost 1,500 sqm of luxury flooring products from Moduleo have been installed in the recent refurbishment of RUSH Trampoline Park, Kings Norton, in Birmingham. Contractors at refurbishment specialists, Calmack, specified authentic shades of stone and walnut from Moduleo’s popular Transform collection to overhaul the main reception, shop, seating and dining areas. All floors were first prepared with Moduleo’s new Flex Pro underlay, which offers unrivalled sound insulation properties. Sophie Holness, design manager at Calmack, comments on the project: “In any commercial refurbishment we’re very conscious of the constant levels of footfall the venue must sustain on a daily basis. This naturally dictates what products we specify. “Moduleo is perfect for settings such as RUSH as its heavy-duty characteristics mean we can rely on it for durability, yet its extremely stylish and gives us an exceptionally professional finish.” To save time on-site, Calmack installed Jura Stone and Persian Walnut floor coverings from the Transform Click range. Click technology negates the need for traditional adhesives and timely room preparation, meaning floors can be installed in next to no time. The unique LockXpress system with practical tooth-groove connection ensures easy, convenient installation. Whilst traditionally LVT flooring required significant preparation of the floor’s surface, Click flooring offers a much more flexible and simple alternative. This solution ideal for those of whom time is of the essence as it does not require any adhesive and can be fitted quickly and easily. Click from Moduleo is scuffproof, waterproof and absorbs sound and can therefore even be used in bathrooms and kitchens. Available in a variety of natural finishes including stone and wood, Click from Moduleo is easy clean and can be used with under-floor heating. In public refurbishment projects, where contractors are under increasing pressure to complete on time, to budget and to a high standard, flooring technologies such as Click can significantly reduce the time spent on site without compromising on finish. With leisure operators adopting more contemporary, open-plan facilities, designers and installers are finding increasingly innovative ways to separate spaces, such as receptions, changing facilities and eateries – like at RUSH. Selecting both wood- and stoneeffect floorcoverings in the same space, the finished product allows for ‘zoned’ areas. The mixture of textures and colourways give the different spaces identity without losing the continuous flow of the space. David Bigland, managing director for Moduleo UK and Eire, explains: “Here at Moduleo we constantly strive to bring great designs and styles to market, as well as the very best in flooring technologies. “We’ve seen a considerable increase in the demand for woodand stone-effect LVT products in refurb projects over the past 18 months, especially. Contractors appreciate the authentic patterns and textures that can now be manufactured onto planks and tiles to produce a look that’s as close to the real deal as it can be. “This is all achievable at a fraction of the cost of slates, stones and hard woods. What’s more, end users are not only delighted with the price tag but appreciate the low maintenance and long life span of the products. Moduleo flooring really does have the longevity required to withstand the heavy levels of footfall the popular RUSH venue will experience on a daily basis. “We’re thrilled to have been part of such a fantastic refurbishment at RUSH and couldn’t be happier with the end result. The use of both stone- and wood-effect planks in multiple spaces really does showcase what’s possible within the one location – something we’re seeing increasing numbers of contractors utilising at the moment.” For more information, visit www.moduleo.co.uk or contact the Moduleo team on 01332 851 500. 26 AUGUST <strong>2017</strong>, REFURBISHMENT PROJECTS
Retirement apartments receive acoustic performance solution Amodern development of retirement apartments in the beautiful town of Blairgowrie, Perthshire has been enhanced with Ethafoam, a high quality acoustic flooring solution, offering impact sound insulation properties, from The A. Proctor Group Ltd. The new development, from McCarthy & Stone features a collection of 36 stylish apartments designed exclusively for those over the age of 60. Specialist floor screeding contractor Glenalmond Contracts installed Ethafoam 2222, a closed-cell polyethylene foam, which is designed as a resilient acoustic insulation layer for concrete floor structures. Ethafoam has a low profile, requiring only a minimal increase in floor height, and is highly resilient to the rigours of on-site environments. Lightweight and easy to install, the versatile design means it can be applied as a single, or multiple layer system, dependent on space and performance requirements. At Blairgowrie a double layer system was installed, in alternate directions, followed by a self-levelling screed to finished floor level. For conversions and new build developments of flats where impact and airborne sound reduction is mandatory, the use of Ethafoam is the perfect choice, and enables developers and contractors to meet the current legislative performance requirements. The superior impact sound insulation performance of the product has resulted in it forming a standard specification for McCarthy & Stone in their developments.
