Heavy Contract Use and is suitable for wheeled traffic, making it the natural choice in the hustle and bustle of hotel receptions and corridors. Just as suitable for corporate areas in sports stadiums, meeting rooms and anywhere that demands impeccable performance, optimum acoustics and longer life; Optima is the default choice for many contractors and specifiers.
“Our Optima underlay delivers exceptional performance from its recycled construction,” explained Richard Bailey, managing director, floorwise. “With performance enough for really demanding locations Optima also reduces sound by up to 31dB, quite a significant reduction and certainly helping to reduce noise in busy hospitality and entertainment venues.”
Meeting BS5808 Heavy Contract Use and with BS4790 Flammability Pass Low Radius, Optima can be specified for stretch fit or double stick installations with complete confidence and has the potential to extend the life of the carpet under normal maintenance conditions, helping to absorb the signs of wear from footfall and wheeled traffic.

Stopgap F77 is the ultimate single- coat moisture protection system, a waterproof surface membrane that offers maximum protection against damp and excess moisture in subfloors. The single-coat system is effective up to relative humidity levels as high as 98% and is suitable for any flooring installation, including application over underfloor heating systems. Pigmented metallic black to aid coverage uniformity, the new epoxy resin product has a working time of 30 minutes and cures in approximately three hours, without the need for accelerants.
Stopgap F77 is now available in 3kg, 7kg and 14kg containers.
Stopgap F78 is the speedy moisture protection alternative, F. Ball's first water-based moisture management system. It offers a high performance, eco-conscious alternative to epoxy- resin systems and impedes the passage of residual construction moisture up to relative humidity levels of 95% in almost any flooring installation. Once applied, the first coat takes approximately 15-20 minutes to cure, and then a further 30 minutes for the second coat to cure, resulting in a barrier against moisture, achieved in less than two hours. Stopgap F78 is now available in 6kg, 12kg and 18kg containers, which can be resealed between jobs and stored for future use.

the designer to create subtle variations across the floor to emphasise the distinct work zones. The Council has not only reshaped the way it uses office space, but has also created a more people centric environment.
Martin Chrzan, Sales Director, Quadrant Carpets stated: “We are working with more architects where projects are about reimagining the work environment, to improve staff well being and productivity. Carpet is a distinctive element in any office redesign, as it tends to ‘go down and stay down’. The choice of Balance Lupus and Elements Nero work brilliantly in the environment Bennetts Associates has created.”
