GET MORE FROM BEING A MASTER
INSTALLER With the Quick-Step Master Installer scheme, the Academy for Excellence in Flooring is giving installers the chance to benefit from the brand association that comes with one of the biggest names in flooring.
With appearances at the Ideal Home Show as well as extensive coverage in home interest publications, television and online, Quick-Step is one of the most visible brands in flooring and generates high levels of interest in its products.
Through the Master Installer scheme, the Academy offers a chance for installers to be featured on the Quick-Step website that receives several thousand visitors every month, many of whom are keen to find out about installation services provided by the manufacturer.
SIMPLAY LOOSE LAY TILES ENSURE QUICK
TURNAROUND Polyflor’s SimpLay loose lay vinyl floor tiles helped add the finishing touches to a refurbished Vodafone store in Birmingham city centre recently. Suitable for retail and commercial environments, SimpLay tiles and planks have been developed for loose lay
to receive enquiries on the installation of laminate, wood and vinyl floors available from the brand. With Master Installers reporting an uptake in work since becoming certified, the reasons for taking the three-day course are clear.
All Quick-Step Master Installers are featured on the
www.quick-step.co.uk website, meaning they are often the first
installation without the use of adhesive, so they can be fitted quickly with minimal downtime required.
The SimpLay floor tiles were installed by flooring contractors AFB Flooring Solutions of Lancashire, for retail and commercial fit out specialists Audas Project Management who are refurbishing a number of Vodafone stores across the UK.
The SimpLay collection of loose lay tiles features eight authentic wood planks designs, six natural stone tile effects
“Once you’ve passed the rigorous three-day course, you are awarded a host of benefits that are likely to see your work load increase, so be prepared to be busier than ever,” revealed Lee Thompson, procurement and technical manager. “First off there is one of the few manufacturer-backed warranties available for your workmanship, giving homeowners the peace of mind that your work will be up to high standards. Workmanship is often one of the biggest worries for homeowners when it comes to a new floor, so being able to alleviate this concern is a huge advantage and available exclusively to qualified Master Installers.”

and two weave pattern tiles. The Rich Walnut 2504 shade chosen for this Vodafone store perfectly complements the brand’s signature red and white colour scheme.
With a 5mm gauge and 0.7mm wear layer, SimpLay loose lay tiles include a unique, non-skid honeycomb backing layer to ensure that the tiles stay in position and glass fibre reinforcement layer to enhance dimensional stability. Quick to install over many different types of floorcovering, individual SimpLay tiles can easily be replaced, relocated and reused, making them ideal for creating temporary installations and exhibition spaces.
Martin Rowe, Project Manager at Audas commented: “Polyflor’s SimpLay flooring looks impressive and has the added benefit of being very quick to install. This helped us meet our deadline to hand over this project on schedule so this busy Birmingham city centre store could reopen. We’re always working to demanding time scales so products like this that help us work more efficiently are invaluable to us.”
