F. Ball set the beat at Harrogate

The Flooring Show was an all round success for F. Ball, who used the event to launch its latest adhesive and cause a bit of a stir in the Royal Hall.

F. Ball have reported excellent feedback from The Flooring Show in Harrogate in September, where the company launched its new Styccobond F49 Hybrid PS temperature tolerant, pressure sensitive adhesive, created to offer a solution to the installation of vinyl flooring in areas subject to extreme temperatures, while giving contractors the benefit of excellent initial grab to make the job a whole lot easier. F49 is featured in this month’s Product Focus, and more details can be found on the F. Ball website.

F49 was also given the thumbs up from the FITA trainers at the exhibition’s FITA demonstration area, where the adhesive was demonstrated throughout the show.

There was also great feedback for the F. Ball-sponsored ‘Bash Street Drummers’, who provided the entertainment at the Sunday evening drinks reception in the Royal Hall. Banging out their own compositions on a variety of F. Ball yellow buckets, the Drummers went down a storm with the gathered audience.

After unveiling a brand new stand design for the show, which also generated compliments from visitors, F. Ball is amongst many regular exhibitors in re-booking for next year’s show, while reporting an increased mood of positivity amongst manufacturers and contractors in terms of business prospects for the coming year.
