REFURBISHMENT IT'S A KNOCKOUT
F. Ball delivers a flooring installation that will go the distance at a Leeds gym.
Products from F. Ball and Co. Ltd., including Styccobond F3 and Styccobond F44 adhesives, have delivered a robust flooring installation that will stand up to the rigours of a Thai boxing gym in Leeds.
Contractors from Crown Carpets and Flooring, Leeds, installed carpet and vinyl floorcoverings in different areas as part of the refurbishment of Tobin’s gym in Leeds, a total area of 90m².
They first overboarded floorboards with flooring-grade plywood. F. Ball’s Stopgap Micro Rapid ultra-smooth, flexible, rapid-drying floor finishing compound was applied to fill indentations formed by screws and gaps at joints between the panels and create a flawlessly smooth surface and prevent imperfections showing through vinyl floorcoverings.
Once the subfloor was fully prepared, carpet was adhered to the substrate in the strength and conditioning areas with F. Ball’s Styccobond F3. After over 50 years since it first launched, Styccobond F3 is the UK’s most-used flooring adhesive for the installation of textile floorcoverings. It is a water-based rubber/ resin flooring adhesive which offers excellent wet grab and benefits from an early build up of strength. It is also protected against bio-degradation and compatible for use with over 70% of the 6,000 floorcoverings in the F. Ball Recommended Adhesives Guide (RAG).

In the changing rooms, contractors used F. Ball’s Styccobond F44 pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive to install vinyl sheet. Styccobond F44 is a solvent-free, acrylic emulsion adhesive, which provides high bond strength, strong initial tack and a long open time. It is protected against bio-degradation and suitable for securing a wide-range of vinyl sheet and tile floorcoverings, rubber floorcoverings and some PVC or polyurethane-backed textile floorcoverings.
“Styccobond F3 is the UK’s most- used flooring adhesive for the
installation of textile floorcoverings.”
Commenting on the work, Luke Callaghan, director at Crown Carpets and Flooring, said: “We've been using F. Ball products for years, and they are 100% reliable. Styccobond F3 and Styccobond F44 are our go-to choices for carpet and vinyl sheet respectively, and Stopgap Micro Rapid ensured that the finished installation was perfectly smooth.”
