SMOOTHING UNDERLAYMENTS
ASK THE BOSS
Bostik and Gloucestershire County Cricket Club have recently joined forces to work on a prestigious redevelopment to get the club match-ready for the 2019 World Cup.
The workability and quality of Bostik Screedmaster Ultimate smoothing compound has been showcased by its use throughout Gloucestershire County Cricket Club.
The product is ideal for the levelling and smoothing of sound, uneven floors prior to laying decorative floor coverings. It is low-odour and high-strength,
with a formula recently improved to offer an even higher standard of flow characteristics.
The club is embarking on an ambitious redevelopment of its County Ground home, installing state-of-the-art facilities and raising capacity to 17,000 with the aim of hosting World Cup matches when the tournament comes to England in 2019. The first stage of the programme has been the construction of the striking new Bristol Pavilion. Featuring three floors of conference and events facilities including hospitality suites with prime views of the pitch, the pavilion now also hosts a state-of-the-art media centre.
Flooring contractor English County Contracts were given the job of laying high-quality flooring throughout the pavilion, and selected Bostik Screedmaster Ultimate smoothing compound and Screedmaster One Coat Membrane to provide quality, efficient subfloor preparation.
DID YOU KNOW? Established in 1870, Gloucestershire County Cricket Club was founded by Dr Henry Mills Grace, who is the father of one of Gloucestershire’s most famous cricketers, W G Grace.
