Salon extension completed with Ultra Floor and Ultra Tile products

21 December 2011

The Stafford Francesco Group salon has reopened following an extension project completed using primer, leveller, adhesive and grout from the renowned Ultra Floor and Ultra Tile brands.

Stylish salon brand, Francesco Group commissioned Stafford Tiles and Flooring Solutions Ltd. to complete the 150 square metre extension.  The existing substrate required levelling before the tiling could commence; Saber Systems Ltd. were subcontracted to carry out this work.  Both companies are long-standing Instarmac customers and regularly choose to use products from Ultra Floor and Tile.

The subfloor preparation carried out by Saber Systems Ltd. included priming with Ultra Floor Prime IT AR and the application of Level IT one HDB.

Ultra Floor Prime IT AR is an acrylic polymer emulsion primer suited for use over porous substrates such as concrete and sand/cement screeds.  It will prepare the surface, enhancing adhesion and sealing it.  The bond strength of subsequent cement based levelling compounds and similar cementitious underlayments to the surface will then be dramatically improved, enhancing durability.

Ultra Floor primers are easy to use and safe to apply, and boast excellent surface penetration and fast drying times.

Ultra Floor Level IT one HDB is a self-levelling base compound designed to smooth undulations in cementitious floor substrates.  It has a working time of 20-30 minutes and will set within 2-3 hours.  It can be applied at thicknesses from 3-50mm and a 25kg bag covers an optimum 5m² at 3mm.  The product is protein and ammonia free, shrinkage compensated and polymer modified.

Stafford Tiles and Flooring Solutions Ltd. then fitted porcelain floor tiles using Ultra Tile ProRapid RS – a rapid setting adhesive expertly formulated with exceptional bond strength and flexibility.  The adhesive can be applied at a bed thickness of between 3-12mm on walls or floors.  Its open time is 40 minutes and it will be set after just 2 hours drying time.

Ultra Tile FlexJoint in limestone was used to grout the floor.  It’s a product suitable for joint widths from 1mm to 20mm.  FlexJoint is specially formulated to provide a hygienic finish that is mould resistant and water repellent.

The salon’s clients now enjoy the luxury of the surroundings as well as the pamper treatment received.
