F. BALL ADD THE HOME COMFORTS
IN MAJOR LONDON DEVELOPMENT High-performance subfloor preparation products from F. Ball and Co. Ltd., manufacturer of flooring adhesives and subfloor preparation products, have been used in a major housing development in London.
Contractors from Hillingdon Flooring Company, based in Slough, were appointed to prepare and install the new floors on the Aylesbury Estate development in Walworth, which comprises 9,000m2
of floor space across five blocks of flats and four blocks of terraced houses.
The job was completed using F. Ball’s Stopgap Green Bag and 114 liquid, a fast-setting, protein-free smoothing underlayment.
Firstly, the sand/cement screed subfloors were sanded down and a moisture test was taken, which indicated that the subfloors were dry enough to continue without the use of a moisture management system.
After priming the surface with Stopgap P131 general purpose primer, contractors applied Stopgap Green Bag 114 at a 3mm thickness to smooth out any undulations. A spiked roller was then used to remove any trapped air from the smoothing underlayment and smooth out any flow lines, ensuring a more aesthetically-pleasing finish.
Stopgap Green Bag 114’s fast-setting and high-strength properties made it ideal for this development as it dried quickly and was strong enough to withstand heavy-duty foot traffic once work restarted.
Andrew Stroud, Contracts Manager at Hillingdon Flooring Company, said: “We have used F. Ball products for years so we know they are reliable and provide a high-standard finish. We know that, if we need advice on products, F. Ball’s technical support team will be able to help us or recommend the right products for the job.”

and wheeled traffic without compromising on slip-resistance.
Thicker flooring dissipates the energy more effectively, making the flooring less likely to de-bond, minimising and even preventing damage to the subfloor. It also offers enhanced chemical- resistance and copes well with moisture and temperature extremes, making it perfect for areas that need to work hard under a variety of conditions.
What’s more, with Altro’s commitment to sustained slip-resistance, Altro Reliance 25 keeps your risk of a slip to just one in a million for the lifetime of the product, which means you can trust it to continue to perform with high levels of foot and wheeled traffic.
An ideal choice for busy corridors in healthcare and education environments, as well as laboratories, clinical areas and receptions in large, public buildings, Altro Reliance 25 combines perfectly with Altro Fortis wall protection system, as well as Altro Whiterock hygienic wall cladding.
