WEBERFLOOR CREATES STAFF GYM FOR RECRUITMENT AGENCY

When a Norwich-based recruitment agency needed a safe and stable flooring solution for its new staff gym, expertise and products from Saint-Gobain Weber were chosen for the job.

When a Norwich-based recruitment agency needed a safe and stable flooring solution for its new staff gym, expertise and products from Saint-Gobain Weber were chosen for the job.

The agency, 14 Recruitment Limited, Norwich, has taken over the neighbouring premises to its office complex in the Vulcan Road Business Zone of the City. The commercial building had previously been a recycling centre and required major refurbishment, which included renovating and levelling the main floor area.

Jason Adams, Founder and Managing Director of I4 Recruitment Limited, said: “Staff recruitment is exclusively a people business and providing the best possible facilities for my staff is priority.  weberfloor 4310 fibre flow pumped screed was the fast flooring solution for our new recreation centre.”

Dry wall contractor Smart Renders, of Norwich, brought its expertise and Saint-Gobain Weber products to the project. Ray Smart, Managing Director of Smart Renders, surveyed the building and with support from Weber’s technical team, drew up the technical specification.

Ray explained: “The existing substrate sloped down to a central gulley and this required a sand blinding to achieve a reasonable level which was then covered by a 100 micron weberfloor DPM.

“60mm Expanded Polystyrene Insulation was laid and taped together with weber DB matting as a slip membrane covering.  weberfloor 4945 glass fibre mesh reinforcement was placed over the membrane and weberfloor 4310 fibre floor self-levelling screed was pumped into place at a depth of 25mm. The finish is excellent and will carry any type of surface covering easily. The speed of this 85m² project was impressive and very quickly transformed the quality of the premises.”

weberfloor 4310 fibre flow is a pump-applied, fibre reinforced, levelling compound designed for application at thicknesses between 5 – 50mm, in both domestic and commercial installations. It is suitable for covering with a wide variety of finishes including tiles, carpets, flexible floorcoverings and parquet flooring. It can also be used in conjunction with underfloor heating systems. The fibre reinforcement adds durability and weberfloor 4310 fibre flow has strong spreading and smoothing characteristics, low alkalinity and low emissions during drying and is casein-free.

“The staff of I4 Recruitment will now have their own gym and recreation centre to break the pressure cycle of their business work. We see a big future for us with weberfloor products,” enthuses Ray Smart.
