The neonatal unit at Wrexham Park hospital near Slough chose to fit Tarket Marley Floor's Granit IQ range during its redevelopment programme.
It was specified because it met the strict safety, hygiene, performance and cost criteria set by the hospital. It is also offered the best colour palette and a contemporary design service, which was crucial for the new interior scheme. In addition the range meets modern environmental standards, an important consideration.
Renovation at the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield has included a flooring installation from Tarkett Marley Floors.
The Eclipse range was specified to provide protection against scuffing and soiling in the redeveloped cardiothoracic department.
A heavy duty floorcovering, it has a Pro-tech polyurethane reinforcement for durability. Restricting the growth of MRSA, the additional layer delivers a 'no polish' maintenance programme.
For areas with the risk of slipping, Safetred Dimesion has been installed. This is a vinyl floorcovering, formulated from Pearlescent and Opaque chips, to create a flake effect beneath the vinyl layer
With polyurethane surface protection, Safetred Spectrum PU from Marley Floors is a decorative, slip resistant, chip effect floorcovering, which complies with the new European Manufacturing Standard EN 13845. Suitable for high traffic areas, it offers abrasion and chemical resistance with a biostat to resist fungal and bacterial growth.
When Great Ormond Street acquired a disused tube train, Marley Floors provided a flooring solution for the Radio Lollipop project.
The Eclipse range of floor coverings from the company was specified as it met the heavy duty demands of a hospital environment and was available in a range of bright colours. Pro-Tech polyurethane reinforcement enables protection against scratching and scuffing with a 'no polish' maintenance programme reducing life cycle costs for the flooring.
Omnisports Training from Marley Floors has replaced carpet tiles at Chewton Glen Hotel and Spa. In 3.6mm thickness with a natural wood effect design, it provides a multi-sports surface as well as meeting all of the hotels specification criteria.
The surface has a polyurethane coating for easy maintenance, and has been tested to BS standards for performance and durability. Other specifications in the Omnisports range are Pro and Competition, which offer thicknesses of 7.65mm and 8.75mm respectively.
Adhesive products from Marley Floors are now solvent-free, making them safe in application. The Embond 212 has low VOC emissions and the ammonia odour has gone, making it suitable for hospitals and schools. Embond 168, 170 and Safebond 3 adhesives are also solvent free.
Specified for the family room of a show house in a development by Bellway Homes in Devon, a wood effect vinyl floor covering from Marley Floors has been applied.
Developed for the housing market, the Esteem range achieves the look of wood, marble and stone but with the advantage of warmth and ease of maintenance. It is suitable for any room in the home.
New ?state of the art? plate machinery at The Kent Messenger groups print and production department is now standing on Safetred Universal floorcovering from Marley Floors. The machinery is susceptible to the occasional chemical spill so the new floorcovering was specified in an effort tomeet the safety andwear requirements of the company. It was installed in three separate phases over severalmonths to coincidewith the delivery of the new machinery from America. The existing floorcoveringwas removed and the sub-floor prepared with high load underlay ment before being layed with Safetred Universal.
Three separate stairwells at the Macbeth Adult Education Centre in Hammersmith, London, feature Matrix ? a heavy-duty floorcovering from Marley Floors. Some 160m² was installed because of the product?s ?no-polish? easy maintenance regime which will reduce the overall life cycle costs of the floor. Based on previous applications of Matrix, the company knew that it was well-suited to this application. Provided the manufacturer?s maintenance programme is followed, the surface will not require a costly re-application of polish during its projected lifetime. A decorative multi-flake Atlantic blue effect was chosen to brighten up the centre floors and replace the existing lino which was difficult to keep clean and had become worn. Matrix has a barrier layer which prevents migration of contaminants from the subfloor, a biostat which resists fungal and bacterial growth, and a high performance clear wear layer featuring deep clean technology to limit the effects of heavy, everyday traffic.
Specified in a strongbluecolour, the newly launched Marley Sport floorcovering from Marley Floors has made a colourful impact on the sports hall at Wellesbourne primary school in Liverpool. The existing floor had suffered from general wear and tear and water damage. This was lifted before a primer and latex were applied to provide a suitable subfloor on which to lay the new covering. This range is available in a choice of six plain colours and a wood effect. The Supreme option has a thickness of 6.7mm while the Extreme measures 8mm thick.
