A Modern Finish from Flowcrete UK for Menai Science Park


Anglesey’s new Menai Science Park required an iconic and modern flooring solution and consulted Flowcrete UK to help. Menai Science Park, or M-SParc as it’s known, is a facility where collaborations are encouraged and ignited by chance encounters in the shared spaces, and the client was eager for this energy to be reflected in the building’s interior. M-SParc delivers space, support services and outstanding facilities to businesses of all sizes. To achieve the aesthetic, two different materials were used to provide the ideal amount of contrast for the design to pop. Peran Comfort from Flowcrete UK was chosen in Light Grey and Signal White for the stairs, landing and foyer areas of the Open Innovation Space. The noise reduction and durability properties of this flooring system are ideally suited to these areas, where heavy footfall and the accompanying noise is expected. In contrast to the matt, self-smoothing polyurethane-based Peran Comfort floor coating, Flowcrete UK’s Rustik Natural Stone was utilised in the entrance way. Its noise reduction, slip resistance and durability properties make it ideal for use in entranceways where heavy footfall is expected on a regular basis.

How artistic flooring is reflecting architecture


Flowcrete is contributing to the latest interior design trend by providing artistic flooring that reflects the architecture of the host building. With the rippling exterior design and unique glass-fronted PODs set into the construction, the Arte S buildings (pictured) surely stand out and provide a talking point all on their own. What makes these buildings even more impressive is the designer’s choice to continue the ripple aesthetic within the interior as well. With the aim of replacing reality with fantasy, curves and ripples can be seen everywhere in the lobby from the rounded chairs and stools to the demarcation used in the flooring. As well as looking visually attractive, the line markings, created using Deckshield UV Linemarker from Flowcrete also work to separate the light and dark grey hues. For the flooring, 382m2


of Flowtex PT, a heavy duty, epoxy screed


with high impact resistance was used, coated with the self-smoothing epoxy resin Flowshield SL 1000 in Steel Grey and striking pink hues. As well as being aesthetically pleasing and complementing the lobby furniture beautifully, this floor finish is suitable for areas of high footfall, trolley and rubber wheeled traffic.
