APPOINTMENTS & NEWS; BUILDING FABRIC 33 Celebrating a significant increase in business
Designer Contracts, one of the UK’s largest flooring contractors, is celebrating another record year. Latest end of year figures show a 15 per cent year-on-year growth with company turnover now in excess of £40 million and more than 300 employees working within the
business. Critical to the growth was a 25 per cent surge in volume from its central distribution facility in Kettering which maintains a constant £2 million stock level, recently boosted to £3 million to ensure stock levels remain high during the uncertainty of Brexit. Adding to the business’ success, an ambitious 20 per cent growth was forecast for 2019 – which has already been exceeded – just five months into the company’s financial year.

Raising the standard
BAL are revolutionising the standard-set category with new adhesive technology; BAL Flex One. With its ‘One’ rapid-set technology, BAL have previously helped fixers with its rapid-setting products that provide significantly longer open and working times than all other rapid-set products but are still ready to grout in three hours. With ever larger tiles growing in popularity, complex designs required, possibly difficult or irregular backgrounds on-site and even hotter temperatures being experienced now in the summer months; the use of even improved rapid-set adhesives still may not provide enough open, working or adjustability time for a fixer. The new BAL technology is the first truly enhanced standard-set technology – developed from traditional standard-set chemistry as a basis. BAL’s R&D team have developed an enhanced standard set adhesive with a long open time, excellent non-slip properties and may be grouted in as little as six hours. BAL Flex One provides a truly innovative technology that raises the standard.
