RETAIL INSTALLATIONS
The store refurbishment commenced in April 2023, with the whole flooring work taking six weeks to complete, utilising three flooring fitters working Sunday to Thursday. Banks’s team operated in stages outside of business hours to ensure the continual smooth- running of the supermarket.
The whole floor received a new DPM and screed, completed one area at a time, allowing sufficient drying time ahead of staff and customers returning each morning.
Whilst supermarket projects can typically present surprises beneath the floor, the main concern for Banks Flooring on this project was timekeeping.
“There are lots of challenges,” acknowledges Alex Banks. “But on this occasion, the test was making sure that everything was safe when we finished each night, knowing that the store had to be open to the public in the morning.”
Upon completion, the Clitheroe store boasted a refreshed appearance, befitting the company’s proud, longstanding history.
“The Everglade Oak planks specified for the main shop floor provide warmth and texture across a large area whilst complementing our pre-existing material palette,” reflects
Philippa Walker, considering the highlights of the finished refurbishment.
“In the Wines & Spirits department, tiles from the same range help to highlight the area, create a traditional wine cellar aesthetic, and provide some continuation of the shop floor colour scheme. They were also comparatively easy to lay, supporting the time constraints of this project.
“Behind the counters, the pearlescent chip designs from Polysafe Mosaic provide a pleasant contrast to the shop floor layout whilst offering sustainable slip-resistance and simple daily maintenance properties for the benefit of staff.
“Additionally, the waterjet company logo, embedded within the Wines & Spirits department entrance flooring, forms a lovely feature which acknowledges the company’s heritage and accentuates the flow in design.”
“Overall, the Expona and Polysafe products proved to be durable, cost-effective, and easy to maintain, whilst the broad selection of designs allowed us to highlight the different areas within our store. We are incredibly pleased to see the positive results of yet another successful collaboration with Polyflor.”
