GRADUS HELPS WELCOME VISITORS TO HISTORIC
BLETCHLEY PARK Gradus’ Esplanade 1500 primary barrier matting has been installed at Bletchley Park a secret base for code-breakers during the Second World War as part of a recent £8 million restoration programme at the heritage site.
The formerly derelict wartime Codebreaking building, Block C, has been transformed into a vibrant Visitor Centre. In addition, the iconic Codebreaking Huts 3 and 6 have been sympathetically restored for visitors to experience how it was to work in wartime Bletchley Park.
In order to prevent dirt and moisture from being carried into the building by foot and wheeled traffic, Gradus’ Esplanade 1500 primary barrier matting in closed construction with PVC wipers has been installed at the main
entrance to the Visitors Centre. Five further mats, in closed construction with Boulevard 1500 polypropylene wipers in Tempestas (black), have been fitted at additional entrances.
Karen Burman, Marketing Product Manager for Gradus, commented: “We are honored to have been involved in the restoration of such a historically significant site. The men and women of Bletchley are credited with bringing an
early end to the Second World War by cracking the German's Enigma machine.
“The matting system in place will not only increase public safety and prolong the lifecycle of surrounding floorcoverings, but will also enhance the appearance of the entrance to the Visitor Centre, creating a clean, smart and welcoming first impression.”
