CASE STUDIES
F. Ball products are used extensively in the
installation of floorcoverings across a wide
range of market sectors.
GLENWOOD HIGH SCHOOL
F. Ball Products Make the Grade at Sydney High School.
F. Ball products were used to meet exacting
subfloor preparation standards required ahead
of the installation of a sprung dance floor in
a performing arts centre in Sydney, Australia.
Contractors from Sydney-based Symmetry Flooring
prepared the concrete subfloor before installing
Harlequin flooring at Glenwood High School.
To meet the precise standards, the substrate needed
to be level within a tolerance of 5mm over 5m.
This was achieved by scraping away material from
the surface and vacuuming away dust and debris,
with a laser level used to check the floor height.
Afterwards, the subfloor was primed with Stopgap
P131 general-purpose primer to promote the
application characteristics of a subsequently
applied smoothing compound.

Heavy-duty smoothing compound was then
applied at a thickness of up to 15mm over the
270m2 area to create a perfectly smooth and level
surface. Gauging pins were used to ensure the
same level of smoothing compound throughout
the entire area.
Contractors then installed Harlequin Flexity
sprung dance flooring. Styccobond F44 was
then used to adhere flooring on to the surface,
in accordance with F. Ball’s Recommended
Adhesives Guide (RAG ®).
