Wallasey, Merseyside UK
The charity, based in Wallasey, Merseyside, supports young people with cerebral palsy and helps teach them the necessary skills to help live them more independently. It needs a new floor. Contractors Quest Industrial Flooring was tasked with installing a strong, safe and soft floor.
Project Requirements
For Stick ‘n’ Step, its classroom floor is much more than just something to walk on – it’s also a place where they deliver specialist education sessions. As a great deal of the classes they run take place on the floor, a fit-for-purpose and high-performance replacement was top priority when its existing timber and vinyl flooring started to deteriorate and become a trip hazard in areas.
Sika Solutions
Contractors Quest Industrial Flooring was tasked with installing a strong, safe and soft floor. Through the specification of Sika ComfortFloor® PS-66 Decorative Pro, Quest Industrial was more than able to meet Stick ‘n’ Step’s brief.
The smooth, durable, slip-resistant, resin-based system boasts excellent shock absorption properties and provides a comfortable surface to learn and play on thanks to its cushioning layers. Its durability and easy-to-clean benefits were also advantageous, as health and safety is paramount for a children’s’ learning environment.
Quest Industrial Flooring was given just four weeks to complete the project, a challenge made more difficult by the discovery that the sub-base underneath the existing wood and vinyl flooring required repairing with a high-strength, early loadable screed that required a week to fully set. However, the new floor was installed within the given time frame, ready for the start of the new school term, and to the client’s full satisfaction.
