Floor Preparation and Installation
We began by installing 6mm plywood to provide a stable and smooth base for the new flooring. This step was crucial for achieving a flawless finish and ensuring the long-term durability of the flooring.
In the main bar area, we installed Karndean Van Gogh gluedown luxury vinyl flooring, known for its realistic wood-effect design and exceptional durability. Additionally, we added luxury vinyl tiles to create an elegant yet hard-wearing floor surface that stands up to the heavy foot traffic expected in a busy bar environment.
For the toilet areas, we installed Altro Walkway hard-wearing vinyl flooring. This flooring was selected for its slip-resistant and easy-to-clean properties, making it ideal for wet areas.
To enhance safety and durability on the stairs, we applied Altro Quantum stair nosing. This specialist nosing not only provides a polished look but also improves grip and wear-resistance on the stairs.
Conclusion
