THE FLOORING SHOW LIVE F. BALL TO CELEBRATE 140 YEARS OF INNOVATION
F. Ball and Co. Ltd. is celebrating the 140th anniversary of the company at this year’s Flooring Show, alongside showcasing the latest advancements in subfloor preparation products and adhesives for floorcoverings.
Visitors to the F. Ball stand at The Flooring Show are able to watch live demonstrations of its subfloor preparation products and adhesives, including the latest addition to its range of smoothing compounds, Stopgap 1400, delivered by the company’s training department on the stand’s live demonstration area.
The high-flow, fast-setting, two-component smoothing compound offers superior self-smoothing properties and is walk-on hard from just 90 minutes after application and ready to receive floorcoverings from 12 hours.
Also being showcased is high-performance Styccobond F49 Hybrid PS flooring adhesive, which has temperature tolerant, pressure sensitive and water-resistant properties, and the company’s Stopgap Micro Rapid rapid-setting floor finishing compound.
With a history stretching back to 1886, F. Ball has become the UK’s leading manufacturer of flooring adhesives and floor preparation products for the contract flooring industry and a British manufacturing success story.
F. Ball managing director Darren Kenyon said: “We have plans to celebrate this at The Flooring Show, and we look forward to being back and seeing familiar faces as well as meeting new visitors for the first time.”
CORK IS CALLING
Granorte is one of Portugal’s leading cork specialist producers, creating everything from floors to furniture, lighting, interior accessories and even sanitary ware. With award-winning products and a heritage of innovation, the family-run company is returning to The Flooring Show to show just what can be achieved with nature’s wonder material.
It will be showcasing new point-of-sale concepts designed to make cork floors a premium choice for homeowners wanting materials that respect nature and which bring a unique aesthetic to their home. The focus will be on Granorte’s retail- focused TRENDCollection, with selected products from three of the engineered cork collection’s most exciting ranges.
Retaining the beautiful texture of natural cork, NATURTrend floors are unapologetically authentic and demonstrate the unrestrained beauty of the material. SOLIDTrend translates universally appealing wood and stone decors in an engineered cork floor that delivers exceptional performance, while DESIGNTrend adds distinct wood and concrete looks printed directly onto cork for a floor that stand-out from the ordinary.
Sophie Brady, Granorte, said: “With a growing number of homeowners thinking more carefully about the products they buy, we believe now is the time for retailers to explore how our natural and renewable material can be enjoyed.
STAND: B14A
“Our TRENDCollecton is the perfect entry point into cork, combining the material’s natural properties with an SPC or HDF core, depending on the range chosen. All floors are easy to install and with a range of aesthetic options, including cork in its beautiful natural state, they make a well-thought-out proposition for today’s homes. We’re looking forward to exploring the true potential with retailers at the show.”
