EDITOR’S VOICE
Hello and welcome to the November issue of Tomorrow’s Contract Floors.
As I write this, I’m in the middle of a kitchen renovation at home and I can honestly say it’s one of the most stressful experiences I’ve ever encountered. When I started the planning and designing stage, I was full of optimism and excitement for what lay ahead. However, as I’m sure you’ll know, things don’t always go to plan. All it takes is for one tradesperson not to show up, or an unexpected challenge to arise, and the whole project gets put back. This is frustrating for all parties as everyone else has to reschedule their plans too, which is why finding good, reliable trades is key.
A really important aspect of my kitchen project was to level out an uneven subfloor between the main part of my house and an extension. The floor had never been laid properly and the concrete screed sloped towards the back window. Getting a level floor was critical for me as working in the flooring industry, I know how important a solid foundation is to achieving the best final result.
In this issue we feature expert advice from top manufacturers on how to select a levelling compound for any project and environment. We also take a look at a residential refurbishment in the Netherlands where F. Ball and Co. Ltd.’s Stopgap SRS surface reinforcement system quickly repaired a weakened concrete screed prior to the application of a levelling compound.
Elsewhere in the issue we focus on flooring in the office and workplace and safety flooring.
