CASE STUDIES
F. Ball products are used extensively in the installation of
LVT floorcoverings across a wide range of market sectors.
ENGLISH SPIRIT DISTILLERY
FLOORING BY HENTON
F. Ball gets into the spirit at new distillery.
F. Ball products spark conversations
at ‘Flooring by Henton’ refurbishment.
Products from F. Ball helped transform a disused
agricultural building into a new state-of-the-art distillery
and visitor centre at Treggudick Manor, Cornwall. A variety of
floorcoverings, including vinyl sheet and tiles, were installed
throughout the 620m2 space at the English Spirit Distillery.
Carpet and flooring specialist, ‘Flooring by Henton’ opted
for Stopgap 1200 smoothing compound and Styccobond F48
PLUS high temperature grade vinyl adhesive to achieve a
high quality LVT floor finish in the company’s own showroom:
offering visitors instant visual endorsement of the company’s
workmanship and attention to detail.
Contractors primed the surface using Stopgap P141
primer, which is designed especially for use over
non-absorbent surfaces. Once dry, Stopgap 300 smoothing
compound was applied in the kitchen that serves the café
– the product’s heavy-duty properties will enable floors
to withstand being subject to heavy wheeled equipment.
Elsewhere, Stopgap 1200 high performance smoothing
compound was used to create a perfectly smooth base
for new floorcoverings.
Styccobond F48 PLUS was chosen to install Altro Ensemble
wood-effect LVTs in the restaurant and shop areas. The
temperature tolerant adhesive holds floorcoverings in place
when subject to high temperatures, which are expected
in the building as a result of its large glass front. Fibres in
the adhesive also provide high initial grab, a benefit when
installing LVTs.
The first point of action for flooring contractors was to
remove old carpet, LVT and wood floorcoverings from the
90m2 floor of the showroom. Contractors then applied
Stopgap 1200 smoothing compound over the entire subfloor
to create a perfectly smooth base for the receipt
of floorcoverings.
The main area of the showroom has a large glass front,
with the potential to cause solar gain and extreme
temperatures. Therefore, Styccobond F48 PLUS high
temperature grade vinyl adhesive was selected to install
wood-effect vinyl planks to ensure the floorcoverings would
hold firmly in place when exposed to extreme temperatures.
