Universal Primer, before allowing it to dry – a process that takes around an hour in good conditions.
Next, Titan applied Bostik’s high-flow, easy trowelling Screedmaster Flow smoothing compound, creating a smooth and flat surface on which to lay the carpet tiles. Crucially, this was applied at up to 6mm thickness to ensure the slightly uneven subfloors were made level. In areas where vibration or thermal movement could prove problematic, Bostik instead supplied Titan with its Screedmaster Flex smoothing compound, which is fibre-reinforced to withstand such conditions.
With a strong, smooth surface established throughout the building, Titan was then able to bond the floorcoverings using Bostik FIX A320 TACK, the company’s new carpet tile tackifier that provides a permanently tacky film when dry to facilitate the easy removal and replacement of carpet tiles.
“A GREAT WORKING RELATIONSHIP” Thanks to Bostik’s technical advice and market-leading products, Titan Interior Solutions was able to install the floorcoverings to an ideal standard throughout the new Hyatt Place hotel, overcoming all challenges and remaining on schedule to fulfil its contract with the builder.
“While this was a relatively straightforward project in terms of the challenges we faced, there were still some hurdles along the way. Bostik’s team were able to identify these as they appeared and provide us with the right solution for how

to overcome them every time,” comments Alex Fletcher, Operations Manager at Titan Interior Solutions.
“We’ve had a great working relationship with Bostik – including both their technical and service teams – over a long period of time. This has led to repeatedly high volumes of business over the years, and we would highly recommend using not only their products, but also their team.”
James Rosher, Technical Services Consultant at Bostik, adds: “This was a large project that required a number of visits to the site as work progressed, and it’s great to know that our recommendations and products hit the mark and helped Titan to get the job done to the best possible standard.”
