FAIR TRADE F. Ball products prove just the ticket for a funfair retail refit.
A range of high-performance floor preparation products from F. Ball and Co. Ltd. have been used in refurbishment work at Dreamland, Britain’s oldest amusement park, in Margate. Contractors from Hi-Spec Flooring used Stopgap Green Bag levelling compound and Stopgap F77 waterproof surface membrane to create a high-quality floor finish in the retail area of the amusement park, ready for the installation of new Forbo linoleum floorcoverings.
Commenting on the use of F. Ball products at Dreamland, Dean Finch of Hi-Spec Flooring said: “The products performed excellently as usual. We use F. Ball products a lot, and we always have done. We have a great relationship with their sales rep; he is always available to help us find the products we need for a particular job. Having that kind of support makes us more than happy to use their products regularly.”
Hi-Spec Flooring were contracted to refurbish the main retail area at Dreamland. To be ready for the park’s launch, contractors were asked to complete the job as quickly as possible so that the retail area could open in time.
Before any new floorcoverings could be installed, contractors first had to level and smooth the rough surface that had been left after the old substrate had been removed. Stopgap Green

Bag & 114 Liquid levelling compound was installed at a depth of 3mm to provide a, smooth, even surface for the installation of a suitable waterproof surface membrane.
Contractors then applied Stopgap F77 one-coat waterproof surface membrane to impede the passage of subfloor moisture, preventing it from adversely affecting the installation.
Stopgap F77 is a two part, accelerated epoxy resin system that cures in as little as three hours to provide an effective barrier to rising damp and residual construction moisture. It can be used where relative humidity levels are as high as 98%.
Once the waterproof surface membrane had cured, contractors primed the surface with Stopgap P131 General Purpose Primer installing a further 3mm of Stopgap Green Bag levelling compound to further raise floor levels and to provide a smooth surface for the installation of new floorcoverings.
Stopgap Green Bag is a general purpose, low-odour, levelling compound, suitable for use in light to heavy-duty applications and over a wide range of subfloor types. It has excellent self- smoothing properties, meaning that minimal work with a trowel is required, and it can be walk on hard in just 90 minutes.
