REFURBISHMENT


A PHOTO FINISH


F. Ball products help contractors to save time on a high-end installation for Ascot Restaurant.


F. Ball and Co. Ltd’s Stopgap 1200 and dual-bond adhesive system have been used by flooring contractors from Harris & Hiscock Ltd. to install luxury Wilton carpet as part of the refurbishment of the On 5 restaurant at Ascot racecourse.


Situated on the fifth floor of the grandstand, the flagship fine dining restaurant offers private hospitality and spectacular views of the track, a private balcony, roof terrace and bar.


Contractors applied F. Ball’s Stopgap 1200 smoothing compound throughout the entire area to create a perfectly smooth surface for floorcoverings. The product is formulated so that it can be applied over old adhesive residues, eliminating the need for mechanical removal and saving time in these situations. It is low-odour, self-smoothing and fast-drying. Applied at a thickness of 2-5mm, it is walk-on hard from 60 minutes and dry enough to receive floorcoverings in as little as four hours.


Contractors installed Wilton carpet in the entrance areas using a dual bond system. This involved using F. Ball’s Styccobond F3 to

create a permanent bond between carpet and underlay, with the company’s Styccobond F40 providing a peelable bond between the underlay and subfloor. This prevents floorcoverings moving laterally when subject to normal foot traffic but allows them to be easily lifted without damaging the subfloor when it eventually needs replacing.

Wood floorcoverings were then installed in the lounge areas.


Commenting on the project, Steve Hiscock, managing director at Harris & Hiscock Ltd., who supervised the work, said: “Everything went as expected and was completed ahead of Royal Ascot, and the client is made up with the result, so we’re very happy. We do a lot of work at the racetrack, and we have go-to products for these that we know we can rely on to meet high expectations.”
