WHAT'S NEW?


QUINTEX PRO FOR FAST REFURBS With the Decent Homes Standard stating that floors should be in good condition, safe and free from trip hazards; the need for replacement flooring between or during tenancies will often be required before the usual replacement cycles of kitchens or bathrooms. With more frequent replacement, a floor that’s easy to install, uplift and replace can bring a time and cost saving benefit.


Beauflor Quintex Pro is a textile backed sheet vinyl floor that is both durable and easy to install, uplift and replace. It can be installed without glue in rooms up to 36m2


, so that it can simply be lifted


and replaced with new. This significantly reduces replacement time over floors that need to be glued down, which are often difficult to uplift without damaging subfloors. A damaged subfloor may also then need remedial treatment before it’s ready to receive a new floorcovering.


Not only is Quintex Pro fast to install, but it can also be installed directly over old floors, like ceramic and


thermoplastic tiles or timber. This makes it an ideal replacement to prevent the costly process of uplifting these old floors.


Cleanability is also another reason for choosing Quintex Pro in housing projects. The Premium Coating lets tenants stay on top of cleaning without needing costly specialist products, while also improving resistance to dirt and stains. And the floor is also slip-resistant for a safer surface in kitchens and bathrooms, where occasional standing water may be experienced.


Quintex Pro comes in a range of 16 home-like wood, stone and terrazzo designs, so you can specify a floor that’s not only easy to replace, but that will also help to create a comfortable environment for tenants. With classic wood plank designs for living areas, bedrooms, corridors and hallways, as well as stone and terrazzo tile designs


Floorcoverings, LION Floor is now also recommended by Bostik as suitable for use with its Cempolay primer and self-levelling compound system.


BOSTIK RECOMMENDS


LION FLOOR Subfloor preparation manufacturer Bostik has tested its smoothing compounds with LION Floor and is now recommending the fabricated underlay as suitable for use with its Cempolay range.


Recognised by FloorSkills and the Contract Flooring Association (CFA) as suitable for the correct installation of resilient flooring in line with BS 8203:2017 Installation of Resilient

Bostik tested LION Floor at its Stafford facility, applying several of its smoothing compounds


to LION Floor and then assessing bond strength after a 28-day curing period. The Bostik Cempolay range was proven to achieve the highest bond strength with LION Floor and is now recommended for use with the engineered underlay boards.


Peter Jones, Finnish Fibreboards, said: “We’re delighted that Bostik is now recommending LION Floor as compatible with its leading Cempolay smoothing compounds. It is an endorsement of the quality of our boards and their suitability in creating a high-quality and lasting resilient floor


for kitchens and bathrooms; it has a design for every type of property.


Beauflor is the only manufacturer to make textile backed sheet vinyl floors in a five-metre width to reduce the number of seams required in large spaces. It also offers two, three and four-metre wide options, so the most appropriate width can be chosen to minimise waste.


Quintex Pro is made in Belgium and held in stock at major UK distributors and wholesalers for a high-quality housing floor that’s also readily available when needed.

installation. Along with the testing already undertaken at FloorSkills, as well as our own independent assessments and endorsements from other adhesive and screed manufacturers, LION Floor has once again proved itself as a reliable, quality choice beneath resilient floors.”


LION Floor is now compatible with Bostik Cempolay Universal Primer and Cempolay Rapid 30, a quick-drying floor levelling compound with a walk on time of just 30 minutes.


Made in Finland from by-product of wood processing industries, LION Floor is a high-grade engineered board that’s BS 8203 compliant and with a construction that eliminates the core gaps and overlaps found in plywood. Pre-conditioned, it needs no wetting before installation and is just as easy to install. In fact, as it can be cut cleanly and quickly with a knife or saw, arguably LION Floor makes it even easier to achieve a quality subfloor for resilient coverings.
