REFURBISHMENT
The process culminated in bonding the new Altro Aquarius Dragonfly anti-slip vinyl using a specialised adhesive, Bostik STIX P956 2K, a PU adhesive with very high bonding performance and moisture resistance, ensuring a secure and long-lasting installation.
This comprehensive, layered approach effectively addressed the complex moisture challenges of the swimming pool changing rooms, providing National Star College with a durable flooring solution tailored to their unique needs.
Ben Thomas, area sales manager at Bostik, commented: “In challenging environments like this, SL C955 ADVANCED truly shines. Its exceptional flow characteristics and rapid drying time allow you to create an excellent foundation quickly.
This high-performance compound’s ability to be applied directly to most substrates without priming saved valuable time and labour, while its strength and low shrinkage properties ensured a stable base for the final flooring. The SL C955 ADVANCED worked in perfect harmony with our moisture mitigation system, delivering a subfloor solution that can withstand the demanding conditions.”
THE POWER OF COLLABORATION
As with many renovation projects, unexpected hurdles emerged. Midway through the process, the shower area drains needed to be replaced, necessitating a week-long pause in flooring work. Despite this, the effective system provided by Bostik ensured the work could be completed on time.
“That’s where Bostik’s expertise really shone,” said Lake & Co.’s director Alex Lake. “Their technical team guided us on how to properly rejoin the two DPM applications, ensuring a seamless moisture barrier despite the interruption.”
The completed project stands as a testament to the power of collaboration. The new changing room floor not only resolved the persistent moisture issues but also provided a safe, hygienic surface ideally suited to the needs of National Star College’s students.
Alex Lake concluded: “This project showcases what’s possible when you combine the right products with the right expertise. We’re proud to have played a part in improving the facilities for the students at National Star College, and we look forward to tackling similar challenges with Bostik in the future.”
