MAPEI INDUSTRIAL FLOORING SYSTEM INSTALLED AT MORRISONS
GADBROOK Mapei’s Mapefloor i302 resin flooring has been installed in an area covering over 1,200m2
at the Morrisons
Supermarket food processing plant in Northwich, Cheshire, to provide a safe and durable solution.
The area covered in this project was in preparation for the installation of a new food processing production line. Dates had already been set to install new machinery at the factory, so the project had to complete within a short timeframe so as not to delay further works, whilst simultaneously not compromising on quality of finish. The floorcovering was installed within one week, with the machinery being installed on time and to specification.
Mapei’s technical specialists were heavily involved throughout the project, visiting the site with the contractors, Respol, prior to
specification and installation to agree on the installation process.
Consideration had to be given to the processing plant remaining operational during the preparation and installation of the flooring, therefore all operations had to be strictly controlled, particularly concerning the creation of dust and odours.
Stuart Turley from Installers Respol commented: “The systems itself was easy to install and has proven to give a good finish.”
As the flooring was installed in a food processing plant, the products used for the new floor had to be ‘taint- free’, hence the specification of the Mapefloor i302 resin flooring which is safe and compliant for use in areas of food preparation and storage.
The versatility of the Mapefloor i302 SL product allowed it to be used as two systems; first as a high-build coating for foot traffic areas and secondly, as a self-levelling system for areas where fork-lift trucks would be operating.

SCALA SUCCESS STORY CONTINUES
INTO 2017 Following its latest colour update in 2016, Lano’s popular Scala Solutions contract collection continues to make a big impression on contractors, specifiers and end-users up and down the country, remaining the go-to statement floor for healthcare, education and leisure locations.
New styles were added to Lano’s flagship Scala last summer, meaning a host of new combination possibilities were now available in a range that has been at the forefront of the specification community for many years. This resulted in a vast uptake of Scala that has continued into 2017, with the collection being used for all manner of environments thanks to the design flexibility, soil resistance and colourfastness of solution-dyed 2-ply polypropylene.
Gary Alp, UK Sales Manager, Lano Carpets, comments: “Thankfully, demand for Scala in 2017 has not only met but actually exceeded our expectations. Adding new, trending shades to the practical properties of solution-dyed polypropylene has proved a masterful touch, demonstrating that our eye for the best in underfoot design is still as sharp as ever. All kinds of environment can benefit from the heavy commercial-rated Scala, a collection that arrives in an innovative architect’s folder for ease of presentation.”
Scala Plain and Scala Classic broadloom carpets can be specified with impervious I-Back backing for an added line of defence against sub-floor contamination, while also designed

for comfort, thermal insulation and sound absorption. Specifically produced with healthcare locations in mind, this backing enhances the powers of solution-dyed polypropylene and its refreshed colour bank, standing it in good stead for the remainder of 2017.
