FLOWCRETE UK LAUNCHES 'SPECIFYING SEAMLESS RESIN TERRAZZO CPD SEMINAR'
Architects looking to earn CPD points while learning more about the science and beauty of terrazzo flooring can contact Flowcrete UK now to book their place on this informative and beneficial educational opportunity.
The fascinating new seminar provides an in depth background into the traditional history of terrazzo, from all the way back in 9000BC when lime and clay based terrazzo was used in Neolithic structures, right through to the present day.
Flowcrete UK’s Marketing Manager, Ian Jones, said: “Our new seminar has been created to provide architects with a greater understanding of the nature of seamless resin terrazzo flooring – including what systems are available to the market, how they differ to alternative materials and the practicalities of installation and maintenance.
“This type of flooring is becoming an increasingly popular choice within large-scale commercial venues thanks to its many aesthetic and functional properties. This seminar is a great way for industry professionals to ensure that they stay ahead of the curve when it comes to decorative hard floor coverings.”

RSL supplied a Chablis resin flooring in the canteen and offices owned by tomato specialists, Kaaij Greenhouses UK Ltd, who shares part of a 50% stake in the project and has its own plot at the site.
Resuflor was chosen because it is a self-smoothing, seamless floor which combines outstanding wearing properties with an attractive finish. Resupen was then applied to provide a matt appearance.

Martin Pakvis, senior consultant at Horticultural Greenhouse Consultancy, who commissioned the project, said: “We approached
