A renewed resilient surface – at half the cost of replacement!

looring specialists, Biddle Sport Ltd, renovated an old vinyl sports floor at Bishops Walsh Catholic School, Sutton
Coldfield, using the new Bona Resilient Floor Solution. The renovation represented a saving of around 50% against the cost of a new floor.
After working through the program of deep cleaning, wet sanding with Bona Diamond abrasives, removing the sanded slurry from the floor and then neutralising with clean water, the surface was ready for the first coat of Bona Pure Colour. Two coats were applied, followed by sports line markings and a final transparent coat of Bona Pure to seal the surface.
A particular challenge was how to replace a floor in such a busy school environment with minimal downtime for the facility. The floor was worn and had already been repaired
on numerous occasions. Using the new Bona Resilient Program, Biddle Sport team totally renewed and transformed the look of the surface in just 5 days, using environmentally friendly products – and at around half the cost of replacing the old floor with a new one. The Bona Resilient Floor Solution uses
safe, waterborne formulations to seal and protect the surface. The result is a hygienic, hard wearing surface that avoids the need to remove and dispose of the old floor. John Carroll, the facilities manager at the
school, said: “The flooring system installed at Bishop Walsh Catholic School has transformed the whole look of the facility. The building that was nearly 25 years old now looks brand new and has had a positive effect on the users of this school facility. For the pupils of the school it has had a positive effect on their behaviour and attitude
to look after the facility. To the outside hirers of the school they have done nothing but praise it and I am sure this will increase the popularity of the hire of the facility over the next 12 months.”
When renovating a resilient surface using
the Bona Resilient Floor Solution, clients can also use the opportunity to totally transform the look of their floor using new colours (the coatings are available in any RAL colour) and textured effects using the Bona Creative Chips. Logos, graphics and sports lines can also be applied below the final protective coats. The Bona Resilient Floor System includes a full range of cleaning and maintenance products for ongoing care of the surface and is ideal to treat LVT, Linoleum, Rubber, Vinyl and Marmoleum floors.
