Some of the areas on site required Bostik’s specialist smoothing compound, Screedmaster Deep, owing to the height levels in the floors being incorrect. Screedmaster Deep can be applied between 5mm and 50mm in a single step, so is ideal when working on uneven subfloors.
Due to the thicker levels of smoothing compound required, there’s more tension in the subfloor as the product dries. The solution was to use a stronger, harder DPM system that included Bostik’s Screedmaster One Coat Membrane and Screedmaster Epoxy Primer.
Another big challenge was the logistics on site. As the development would often be working at 17 or 18 storeys high with a relatively limited water supply, the products selected had to be easy to manually handle.
As a result, Screedmaster Flow was chosen as it is a bag and bottle smoothing compound that performs like a water mix, without actually requiring any water.
Carl commented: “I’ve got between 20 to 30 guys on site at any given point during the day, so a lot of meticulous planning is required in terms of deliveries to ensure they’re not waiting around for products to arrive. On this project we benefitted from deliveries via one of our distributors every two to three days. The customer service we received from both the distributor and Bostik was excellent throughout.”
The Hallsville Quarter project is that start of wider transformation in the area, helping to form a new, prosperous district centre in an emerging area of east London.
