SCREEDS, RESINS & COATINGS
AN EDUCATION IN FLOORING
For this month’s focus on Screeds, Resins & Coatings, we take a look at a job done by Traditional Flooring UK Ltd who specified Granwax products to help completely restore the floors of the assembly hall at St. Anne’s Catholic Primary School in Merseyside.
At the heart of every school is the assembly hall; a multi- functional room that is used for many different activities from teaching and dining, to playing sports. These halls are invaluable spaces, but due to the amount of use they receive they are also often the first to deteriorate – and the floors are one of the first to go.
This is exactly what happened at St. Anne’s Catholic Primary School in St. Helens, Merseyside. The continual use of its assembly hall over a number of years had caused the parquet wooden floor to become worn and uneven. It was at this stage that Alan Ray, Managing

Director of Traditional Flooring UK Ltd, and his team were called in. “The hall at St. Anne’s Primary School was, and still is, being used several times a day,” Alan commented. “Over time, this sustained use had caused the surface to become worn, with many of the parquet blocks becoming lose and potentially dangerous. Because of this, a complete restoration was required.”
“We began by removing the parquet wooden blocks, before repairing the subfloor screed. Once this was level and secure, we re-laid all of the wooden blocks. As soon as they had set, we machine sanded
the floor to a smooth finish and applied three coats of Granguard from Granwax Products Ltd.”
Granguard is part of the Specialist Finishes range from Granwax, and has been specifically designed for surfaces subjected to very heavy use. “We chose Granguard because it not only provides a beautiful gloss finish, but it is extremely resilient and able to withstand any rigours that will be exerted upon it. It is also non-slip, which is essential for a project such as this,” Alan continued. “Finding both the time and money to correctly maintain a floor as large as this can be very difficult. However,
investing that little bit extra, in terms of maintenance, will pay off in the long run helping to prolong the life of the floor and ultimately, save money in the future.”
