F. Ball products pull their weight at Wellington College fitness centre


Styccobond F49 Hybrid PS vinyl adhesive has been used to install vinyl and rubber flooring, as part of the refurbishment of the Wellington College fitness centre, in Berkshire.

Flooring contractors were called to install 70m2 of luxury vinyl tiles and 320m2 of rubber flooring, over a subfloor that was part sand/cement screed and part plywood raised platform. After removing the existing floorcovering, contractors built up the raised platform with timber, chipboard and plywood and applied Stopgap 1200 Pro smoothing underlayment over the raised platform and the screed subfloor.

Styccobond F49 Hybrid PS temperature tolerant vinyl adhesive was then used to adhere the floorcoverings. The adhesive proved to be the perfect product for the refurbishment and enabled contractors to successfully install luxury vinyl sheet and wood effect planks as well as the rubber flooring.

Michael Gray, of Vulcan Flooring, said: “We use F. Ball products on every refurbishment that we do and we always find them to be a reliable, good fit for the flooring that we are installing. Styccobond F49 was no different – it enabled us to adhere the flooring successfully and easily and we will certainly be using it again in the future.”
