Beaver Floorcare make sure Wolverhampton Civic Hall doesn’t slip up! Until recently, the wooden floors at Wolverhampton Civic Hall had been maintained with a regular scrub and dry, and an application of wax, leading to a serious slip hazard. Beaver Floorcare was asked to provide a complete service to create the most slip-resistant floor surface. Following extensive slip-resistance testing, Granwax Barrier Seal was applied to the floor after sanding, before two coats of Granwax Masterfinish and a final coat of Granwax Clearsafe, to ensure a slip-resistant finish. l For more information call 01773 541177 or email
