Antipodean Update
Flooring contractors in Australia and New Zealand now have access to an expanded range of F. Ball products.
Following visits to deliver bespoke training and demonstration sessions by F. Ball head of training, Tim Green, and export manager for Asia-Pacific and the Americas, Gareth Lewis, main distributors of F. Ball products in the two countries have opted to stock a wider selection of F. Ball products.
Urban Flooring, headquartered in Christchurch, New Zealand, now offers virtually all of F. Ball’s adhesives and levelling compounds. This is in addition to moisture management solutions, other ancillary products and tools.
Commenting on the decision to sell an extended range of F. Ball products, Urban Flooring owner, Derek Chiu, said: “We’ve already received great feedback about the initial choice from contractors and retailers across New Zealand. When we saw the features and performance of certain F. Ball products that we didn’t already sell, we had to place another order. I’m confident that our customers will be as impressed as we are.”
In other developments, Sydney-based Symmetry Flooring became F. Ball’s second distributor in Australia and will stock a full range of F. Ball adhesives, as well as high-performance smoothing compounds, such as Stopgap 1500 water-mix smoothing compound.
Other developments
Gareth and Tim also delivered training in Bangkok on how to get the most out of F. Ball products for South East Asian-based sports equipment supplier Seara Sports, which offers custom sports flooring installations for customers in South East Asia.
