First class surfaces for student halls M
anchester student accommodation, Liberty Living at
Sir Charles Groves Hall, has recently been refurbished to include Max-Top Quartz surfaces in all 78 flats. Auxillium Property Solutions Ltd
managed the project and selected the Diamond White Sparkle worktop for all kitchen and breakfast bars in the halls due to its durability and stylish finish. Dale Cross, managing director of Auxillium Property Solutions Ltd,
commented: “Max-Top Quartz offered a solution that was easy to install, aesthetically pleasing and above all, more durable than standard laminate worktops - a factor that is extremely important for student accommodation. “It is important to consider the full life cost of any product we recommend,
and the quality of Max-Top Quartz surfaces will mean that replacing the worktops every three to four years will be a thing of the past.” Max-Top Quartz, which is available in up to 10 finishes and comes with
a 25 year guarantee, is a unique product in the surface market. Featuring a patented interior honeycomb structure, the product offers the aesthetic benefits of a solid stone surface, with the advantage of a deeper 40mm profile. Stephen Moss, managing director of Max-Top, commented: “Our modular
quartz surfaces have been a real success in residential environments where strength and durability is paramount, this is particularly relevant for student accommodation and we are currently working on a number of projects in this sector. “As our products are lightweight, installation takes no time at all and this
can be extremely helpful when planning a large-scale project of this kind.” Dale Cross concludes: “We are very happy with the product, but more
importantly, the client is delighted! The new surfaces create a brilliant finish and are going to last for years to come.”.

xpona Flow PUR sheet vinyl flooring from Polyflor was chosen by Broad Oak Primary School in Didsbury, Manchester as a hard wearing flooring
option that would smarten up their dining area and give years of performance in this high traffic area. The eye catching Reclaimed Chevron 9830 design from the Expona Flow
PUR range was installed by Manchester based Barratt & Hughes flooring contractors in the school’s canteen area. With an inbuilt herringbone pattern, this Reclaimed Chevron design was
chosen to complement the old parquet flooring in the school’s assembly hall, is separated from the dining area by a movable partition to provide open plan or separate spaces. Polysafe Vogue Ultra PUR, a heavy-duty safety flooring with a multi-chip
decoration, was also installed by Barratt & Hughes at Broad Oak Primary School. The Steel Blue 4740 shade was used in a corridor leading to the dining room and outdoor playground to provide sustainable wet slip resistance, crucial in areas where water from outside may brought in by frequent footfall. The Expona Flow and Polysafe Vogue Ultra ranges also have impressive
credentials as a sustainable flooring products as they both achieve a BRE A+ rating for major use areas in the education sector and are 100% recyclable via the Recofoor vinyl take back scheme.
