supplied as a blended dry powder and designed specifically for renovation of existing floors and floating floor construction in domestic and commercial applications.
The extensive showroom area was tiled by family-owned W Rodgerson & Sons Tilers, Whitley Bay, who contracted Northern Industrial Flooring to partner them on this project. Before the team applied large format 600 x 600mm glazed porcelain tiles with weberset SPF in White to the showroom floor, and a 250 x 400mm version in the cloakrooms, weber PR360 multi-purpose priming solution was applied.
DRIVING FORCE
Commercial floor screed and tile fixing products by Saint-Gobain Weber have been specified for the refurbishment of
330m² floor space at the Hodgson Mazda dealership in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
The original showroom floor at the Hodgson Mazda in Newcastle was covered with a combination of carpet and ceramic tiles. It took a team of applicators from Northern Industrial Flooring, Sunderland, to remove the covering and diamond-grind down to a clear and level surface. The floor was then treated with weberfloor 4716 primer, a styrene acrylate dispersion that should be diluted with clean water, which is designed for use on a wide range of substrates. The primer regulates the porosity of the substrate and improves adhesion of flooring products while reducing the formation of pinholes. The product can also be spray applied for use on large areas.
weberfloor 4310 fibre flow, a fibre reinforced levelling compound, was then pump applied to a thickness of 8-10mm. Mike Robson, Northern Industrial Flooring, said: “This is the first time we have worked with Weber products and we’re delighted with the ease of application of weberfloor 4310 fibre flow. It’s spot-on and has produced an excellent finish.
Mike continued: “And we appreciated the technical advice we received from Weber which helped enormously. Without doubt we’ll use Weber again.”
weberfloor 4310 fibre flow screed is designed for application at thicknesses between 5–50mm and formulated from special cements, aggregates, supplementary binders and chemical admixtures. It is

weberset SPF is a polymer modified, cement-based, flexible floor and wall tile adhesive that will accommodate limited movement from heated screed and even over-boarded wooden floors. It has 24 hour setting attributes and is ideal for fixing ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tiles. It is available in grey or white, packaged in 20kg bags, and requires only the addition of clean water on site. The bags also carry Weber Rewards stickers where unique codes can be registered at

“Using Weber products removes any concerns about effective performance, as we know from experience that every Weber product will work perfectly, whatever condition we find the job in,” reports Neil Rodgerson, WRS Tilers.
weberfloor 4310 fibre flow is featured in the new one hour long RIBA-Assessed ‘Introduction into Flowing Floor Screeds’ CPD which can be presented by Weber’s Specification Team at your premises or at a Saint-Gobain facility or Training Academy anywhere in the UK. This service is free of charge and available on request. This comprehensive CPD presentation covers many subjects from why and where to use floor systems; the attributes of commercial floors; design considerations; the demands of the finished floor that will have an influence on specification, through to renovation, fast-track construction and drying times.
The CPD includes an application video showing the attributes of weberfloor 4310 fibre flow smoothing compound which is of specific interest to both designers and applicators.
