Bostik has been selected by commercial flooring contractor, Pinnacle Flooring, to supply a range of sub-floor preparation products to the new £22 million Stratford Hospital development.
The hospital, built in the centre of Stratford upon Avon, includes 5,300 m2 of space across three floors – an area approximately twice the size of the current hospital, and will house specialist cancer and eye units, making advanced treatment much more accessible to those living in Stratford and surrounding communities. Working with Pinnacle Flooring, Bostik supplied a subfloor preparation package to cover approximately 4,000 m2 of the new development.
A pre-start inspection of the screed showed the concrete surface was heavily textured, with ridges in some areas. To combat this, Bostik recommended a presmooth using Screedmaster Ultimate levelling compound. To improve the compound’s flow and curing characteristics, an even coating of fastdrying Screedmaster Universal Primer was first applied. Once the sub-floor was primed, and the Screedmaster Ultimate had been used to smooth and level the screed, an even film of Screedmaster One Coat Membrane was applied to ensure floor coverings would be protected from any residual moisture. A final layer of Screedmaster Ultimate was then applied to give a superior finish on which to bond the vinyl floorcoverings
