Hello and welcome to the November issue of Tomorrow’s Contract Floors.
In this edition we have a special focus on Screeds, Resins and Coatings. As a
hardwearing and durable solution that that can withstand the heaviest of demands, it’s no wonder that resin flooring systems are specified more and more widely. With this in mind, we feature a new regular column from Helen McGachie, CEO of FeRFA –the Resin Flooring Association. This month Helen discusses the 2017 FeRFA Awards which will be presented on 17th November at the association’s annual
event. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all of the shortlisted contractors the best of luck and I’ll look forward to reporting back on the winners soon.
Also on the topic of seamless resin flooring, we have advice on how commercial and industrial facilities can ensure that their flooring will last for decades to come and an unusual case study on the regeneration of a working windmill.
As well as all of this, we have a packed section on Floorcare and Maintenance with guidance from Lisa Breakspear of Fila on why it’s essential to carry out a thorough
initial clean of newly tiled surfaces while Osmo’s Steve Grimwood gives tips on how to maintain wood floors.
Plus, don’t miss our section on flooring in the Public Sector with case studies from Polyflor, Forbo Flooring Systems and F. Ball & Co. Ltd.
I hope you enjoy the issue! CIRCULATION & DISTRIBUTION
