PREMIER LEAGUE FOOTBALL TRAINING CENTRE

Pure Design - Bolidtop 525 and Bolidtop 525 TF

Colour - S 4005-Y50R

1700m²

Architect - KSS Group

Project Main Contractor - McLaughlin & Harvey

Project Installation Dates - Jan 20/Sept 20

A building designed to “create the future” and materials used to interpret the club’s values and reflect its strength and ambition. Stratum were chosen to install 1700m² of Pure Design - Bolidtop 525 and Bolidtop 525 TF with 150mm integrated skirting throughout, to the new state-of-the-art training facility. The scheme comprised of a foyer entrance, a double height atria space, changing rooms, commercial studio and connecting spaces. The requirements were quality and robust materials, hygiene, ease of cleaning and simplicity in aesthetics.

Bolidtop 525 was installed in all spaces with an additional textured finish to the showers for increased slip-resistance. The building featured underfloor heating throughout, covered by a 75mm thick screed. In the showers the resin was neatly dressed into the drains. All floors are entirely seamless and feel comfortable underfoot with sound-attenuating properties, fulfilling the functional requirements of the building.

Challenge

-      To navigate around the core areas of a busy construction site with sensitive floor finishes, and to maintain the highest quality of finish.

-      Coordination with other trades.

-      To ensure delivery of materials ran smoothly from the Netherlands during the challenging times of Covid

-      To follow the government guidance on Covid safety whilst ensuring we worked to programme

Solution

-      Despite the challenges of Covid, Stratum worked closely with McLaughlin & Harvey ensuring a successful phased install, navigating around the project whilst maintaining access to adjoining areas for other key trades.

-      To arrange delivery of materials in ample time for each phase.

Benefits/Installation

-      KSS Group had worked with Stratum and used Bolidt products before, therefore they knew they were getting a resin floor of the highest quality and service to match.

Result

-      Stratum provided the specialist training facility with an attractive high end functional floor which uniformly flows seamlessly from core areas to changing rooms and wash areas. The floor will be easy to clean and maintain for the onsite management team with a long service life.

“We are very happy with the appearance of the resin flooring, which achieves precisely the clean, simple, high quality aesthetic we were seeking”. Michael McCollum| Associate Director | KSS Group
