Taking Transformation To New Levels In Retail

Specialist flooring company Flowcrete has developed a comprehensive brochure aimed at the retail sector.

 

Entitled ‘Transforming Retail Environments' the guide brings together a broad range of information - including details on sustainability and sector specific case studies showcasing flooring projects across the UK .

 

Information on the specification of floors within the different areas of a retail environment - from supermarkets to High Street shops, and maintenance areas to car parks - are also featured.

 

Car park decking, designer finishes and flooring that's ready for use just hours after application are just some of the systems Flowcrete supplies to the retail sector.

 

One popular product is Flowfast, the ultra fast-track resin system from the British-based flooring manufacturer, which is generally ready for use just two hours of application.

 

Such fast installation capability cuts down on the cost of labour and means a retail environment can be fully operational after an overnight application programme, delivering significant cost savings for both new build and refurbishment projects.

 

Alan Dean, sales director of Flowcrete, said: "The freedom to choose something that's not just ‘off the shelf' is one of the main reasons for architects and designers in the retail sector selecting resin surfaces.

 

"This brochure offers a broad range of information for specifiers involved in the specification of flooring for retail environments to show just what we can offer.

 

"Flowcrete is unrivalled in the sheer range of time proven products available."

 

As well as resin floors, Flowcrete also offers its unique Floorzone concept, which involves the installation of acoustic system, underfloor heating, floor screed and seamless floor finish, all carried out by one highly trained Flowcrete approved flooring contractor on site.

 

Other products include the car park decking system Deckshield, the colourful self-levelling resin finish Peran SL - and Isocrete K-Screed.

Help using self leveling compound on concrete subfloor?

I am laying laminate floor in my family room. My family room has a concrete floor. It is not level everywhere. Should I pour self leveling compound on the entire floor? Have you ever done this?

I agree with the felt for small deviations. But if there are any major dips, i would use a 4-6 foot straight edge to screed of the leveler. If you do use a leveler, be sure to use a primer on the concrete first otherwise the product will not bond. It also may be cheaper to rent a grinder for the day and grind the high spots down.
