WHAT'S NEW?
CARPET TILE INSTALLATION IS A CINCH WITH F. BALL
F. Ball and Co. Ltd.’s Styccobond F41 carpet tile tackifier has been selected as part of an impressive installation at Cinch headquarters, securing Interface carpet tiles over raised access panels in the offices of the UK’s fastest-growing online used car marketplace.
The solvent-free adhesive dries to create a permanently tacky film that prevents loose-lay carpet tiles from moving laterally but allows individual tiles to be lifted and replaced easily when worn or damaged, making it ideal for busy offices with high traffic corridors, and areas with chairs that have castor wheels. In this situation, it was chosen to facilitate the temporary removal of tiles to gain access to mechanical and electrical services beneath.
The tackifier can be used for securing a wide range of dimensionally stable ‘flat lay’ carpet tiles backed with bitumen/felt, non-woven fabric, PVC and other polymer backings. Where needed, it can be applied over Stopgap smoothing compounds, Stopgap waterproof surface membranes and a wide range of absorbent and non-absorbent subfloors, including structurally sound, smooth and dry concrete, sand/cement screed, plywood, raised access flooring panels and terrazzo. The product is also approved for use in marine flooring installations and is suitable for use over normal under floor heating systems.
Adam Couch, owner and director of iFlor Flooring Contractors LLP, said: “We use F. Ball’s Styccobond F41 tackifier for all our carpet tile jobs. It’s tried and tested and easy to work with, and we know it will deliver the best results for our clients. This project was no exception. The client was thrilled with the outcome.”

BEAUFLOR BUILDS AT HOUSING 2023
Beauflor attended Europe’s largest housing festival to show its sheet vinyl flooring that meets the quality and affordability challenges of the sector.
Beauflor used June’s Housing 2023 show in Manchester to demonstrate the suitability of its floors for social and affordable homes. Beauflor sheet vinyl floors offer benefits for housebuilders, developers, local authorities and housing associations. Meeting the quality and affordability challenges of the sector, while providing tenants with a floor that’s homely, comfortable and easy to look after; providers can ensure a floor that’s not just lasting but one that also helps to create a good quality home for tenants.
Cost-effective and fast to install thanks to a sheet format, Beauflor sheet vinyl provides a surface that’s not only durable, but also simple to maintain and which stays looking good throughout use. Beauflor ranges are also the only sheet vinyl floors available for social housing in a 5m width. Free from seams after installation in all but the largest of public areas, the seamless finish provides a 100% water-resistant and a more authentic natural look.
Chris Roberts, sales director UK at Beauflor said: “Housing 2023 proved a hugely rewarding couple of days as we introduced our sheet vinyl floors to builders, developers, local authorities and housing associations. With enhanced benefits such as improved noise absorption and slip-resistance or suitability for high-traffic public areas, our collections can create an affordable floor specification that works for every room and every type of housing.”
