Commercial flooring products from Ardex have been applied as a system solution at The James Cook University Hospital in Middlesborough. The company?s Damp Proof Membrane, Arditex latex smoothing compound and Ardex AF 150 low-yield and odour adhesive were used to provide strength, durability, and cost-efficiency.
Fixing and grouting solutions for a renovation project on the Isle of Wight have been provided by Ardex. The site, which comprises a twoacre lake and walled garden complex originally formed the landscape of a Victorian seaside residence located in the 'Undercliff' at St Lawrence. For the project, Albion Stones' Ancaster Rose limestone tile were fixed on the ground floor using Ardex S 16 W white rapid hardening and drying wall and floor tile and natural stone adhesive, in conjunction with the company's P 51 primer. For the wet room, the floor area was treated with a waterproof protection coat, Ardex WPC, prior to the fixing of limestone tiles with the company's S 16 W and E 90 adhesives.
When a Ferrari dealership in Nottingham required a new showroom floor it employed Talbot Construction who specified a levelling compound from Ardex. The ?5.5 million Ferrari dealership required a flat and hard subfloor to provide the base for the fixing of large format Ferrari branded 600 x 600mm ceramic floor tiles. A 25mm pumped application of Ardex K 15-B advanced levelling compound was applied to the existing uneven sub-floor. The compound has been designed for thicker levelling applications from 7 to 35mm. Rapid drying and hardening is assured thanks to the incorporation of the company?s ?Rapidry Formula? technology. In this application the floor was hard enough to walk on after 2hr. and the Ferrari ceramic floor tiles could be fixed after 4hr.
