Award-winning hotel tiled with BAL
The Ampersand Hotel won its first awards within weeks of its opening with BAL products playing a significant part. Building Adhesives Limited worked with architects Dexter Moren Associates to create the initial specification, providing consultancy to main contractor John Sisk & Son and tiling contractor Dyson-Briggs & Sons throughout the project.
The hotel has approximately 1,485 m2 of tiling fixed with BAL products onto different backgrounds and substrates including plasterboard, plaster, timber (with overlay), concrete, marine ply and steel.
“BAL has outstanding products supported by unbeatable free consultancy,” comments Shaun Easter of Dexter Moren. “They understand the needs of architects and make sure that these are met.”
High quality tiling is fundamental to The Ampersand Hotel. A dozen tile types in many sizes include polished marble, polished silestone quartz and basalt in various colours.
“There is no doubt that throughout the hotel the tiling looks quite stunning,” concludes general manager Roberto Pajares. “We could not wish for better.”
