Product: RubbaFlex®fg rubber at a depth of 6mm
Project Background
We’ve successfully completed a school pool surround project for Cumnor House Sussex, a leading preparatory school known for its commitment to providing a safe and inspiring environment for its students.
The school selected RubbaFlex®fg in the sophisticated Slate colour blend, which complements their outdoor pool area beautifully.
The Project
We installed 290m2 of Stonex Quartz Screed from SIDEC in Pacific colour blend.
While most of the install was as standard around the pool, additional detailing was required for this project. Our experienced installation team had to hand trowel a 400mm high by 9m in length, vertical application around the lifeguard plinth, with a cove to the bottom and rounded edge to the top. It is the closest we’ll get to using our cake decorating skills while installing a floor!
Prep Work and Process
Preparation was also key to this project. To get back to a solid subbase, the old rubber surface was uplifted, along with most of the tiles. This was followed by diamond grinding the surface and thoroughly vacuuming.
Our install included pro mesh and epoxy scratch coat before trowelling the quartz screed. This was followed by 2 coats of epoxy grout and finishing with a PU matt sealer with poly bead to increase the slip resistance.
The Result
The whole project took 10 days to complete, with 7 of our skilled installation team. And as you can see from the photos, they always ensure their prep and working areas are kept clean and tidy!
It’s great to get a couple of positive comments from our clients too…
“The difference is incredible! Really appreciate your and the teams work the last 2 weeks! A fantastic group of contractors.” Manager Uckfield Leisure Centre.
“I just wanted to pass on my thanks for the work completed at Uckfield. I couldn’t be happier with the result, and the new flooring has made a significant improvement to the facilities. The site team are also extremely happy. I didn’t get to thank your team who carried out the work, so if you could pass on my thanks for their speed, skill and professionalism that would be much appreciated.” Area Facilities Manager, Freedom Leisure.
