Swingers Crazy Golf Venue & Bar
Swingers operates two premium crazy golf venues in the heart of London where customers can experience crazy golf, the finest cocktails and delicious street food. The bar and seating area as well as kitchen and DJ booth at the Swingers West End venue required refurbishing as part of a new extension. With a sophisticated 1920’s décor, a top quality floor finish was required to match the magnificent surroundings.

Westcotes Flooring Company were appointed as the floor contractors to carry out the 250 square metre renovation. A variety of different subfloors such as timber, old latex screeds, ceramic tiles as well as a sand and cement screed were discovered. Westcotes Flooring Company therefore decided to partner with UZIN creating a specification to ensure the new floor was installed to the highest possible quality.

UZIN was on hand to provide advice and support throughout the project. With such an array of different subfloors the preparation and correct product selection was key. Westcotes Flooring Company had to mechanically prepare all the existing surfaces, consider expansion joint details and movement tolerances. Utilising UZIN’s range of products different materials were used to prepare the subfloor in provision for the new floor coverings. UZIN RR 203 crack repair mesh was used in combination with UZIN NC 182 rapid repair to infill any cracks.

Flooring grade plywood was also installed over the timber areas to increase rigidity. UZIN NC 888 S fine repair mortar was then applied over the plywood followed by a coat of UZIN PE 350 primer and UZIN NC 196 fibre reinforced smoothing compound. UZIN PE 280 primer was used over any non-absorbent substrates followed by UZIN L3 Gold a rapid drying and low stress 2 part smoothing compound. The vinyl and bespoke luxury vinyl tile floor, designed in conjunction with the client, were then installed.

UZIN provided all the solutions and expertise this technically demanding project required. Westcotes Flooring Company were therefore able to refurbish and install the new floor to the highest of standards. The new floor looks stunning and the client are extremely happy with the outcome. Richard Woodward, Project Manager said:

"Westcotes Flooring have delivered this project in conjunction with UZIN to a very high and impressive standard. The sub-floor had a variety of challenges, that were swiftly overcome to great effect by all parties. The end result and floor finish looks amazing"

A UZIN system was used to install the ‘herringbone’ wood floor with the new Sainsbury Gallery at the V&A.

Building Type: Commercial Construction
Pad: Low emission flooring installation
Solution: Ecological Installation , Fast-Track Installation Systems
Brand: UZIN
Country: co.uk

A UZIN system was used to install the ‘herringbone’ wood floor with the new Sainsbury Gallery at the V&A. The Sainsbury Gallery opened in June 2017 as a part of the V&A Exhibition Road Quarter. The expansion created a beautiful and unique space for London, and a world class gallery space for the V&A’s internationally acclaimed exhibition programme. The 1100 square metre column-free Sainsbury Gallery, is one of the largest temporary exhibition spaces in the UK and was created by excavating 18 metres below ground, directly beneath the V&A’s Grade I listed buildings.

The flooring contractor Architectural Flooring Specialists decided to use UZIN products because a high quality finish was vital at this prestigious project. UZIN provide fail safe installation systems. UZIN also provided exceptional technical service and back up throughout the installation to help with any queries during the project. Firstly UZIN PE 404, resin DPM was used to protect the floor from residual moisture within the concrete substrate. UZIN PE 280 a rapid drying primer was then applied to the floor before UZIN NC 150, a heavy duty smoothing compound was installed. UZIN MK 92 wood adhesive was then used to install the intricate herringbone parquet floor. The new Sainsbury Gallery provides a spectacular, dynamic and flexible exhibition space and the floor helps create an outstanding, unique and atmospheric environment.

The job/challenge:

The Grade one listed Boringdon Hall Hotel in Plympton, near Plymouth is a former medieval Manor House where style and luxury meet the Elizabethan architecture. The hotel believed this idyllic location on the edge of Dartmoor would make the perfect destination spa and aimed to create luxurious fitness and wellbeing facilities. Drawing inspiration from nature the spa’s interior and exterior encompass natural materials including wood, stone and glass in order to bring the outdoors in. A high quality finish was therefore paramount.

Approximately 900 square metres of new flooring needed to be installed throughout the new Gaia Spa including treatment areas, gym, boutique, restaurant as well as the reception and interconnecting corridors. The builders had used an anhydrite screed for the installation and the moisture levels were over 75% relative humidity (RH). The construction industry has seen a growth in the use of anhydrite screeds but has failed to find an answer for adequate protection against moisture. Waiting for damp anhydrite screeds to dry can take a long time so the client required a solution to enable works to continue.

The solution / implementation:

The flooring contractor, Russells Flooring Ltd had a good working relationship with UZIN Technical Sales Representative Gavin Coleman and have 100% trust in UZIN’s product systems. After learning about UZIN’s new system to protect calcium sulphate screeds against residual moisture up to 95% RH, Russells Flooring Ltd decided to specify the unique system to help expedite the project. The UZIN system allows projects to be completed much quicker and avoids long delays, so provided the perfect solution. Firstly two coats of UZIN PE 425 primer was applied to the anhydrite screed. Two coats of UZIN PE 404 resin DPM were then installed, followed by a coat of UZIN PE 280 rapid drying primer. A flat and smooth finish was achieved by installing UZIN NC 150 water mix smoothing compound. Finally a variety of different floor coverings including luxury vinyl tiles, vinyl and safety flooring were installed using UZIN KE 2000 S pressure sensitive adhesive. The innovative system enabled Russells Flooring Ltd to install the new flooring in time for clients opening date.

The result:

The new Gaia Spa within the grounds of Boringdon Hall offers guests a calm and relaxing experience with a luxury spa, fitness facilities and swimming pool with countryside views. The new flooring complements the amenities helping create a tranquil and peaceful environment. The client was extremely happy with the finish of the floor coverings and Russells Flooring Ltd received exceptional feedback from the builders regarding their standard of work. As a result the builders will continue to work with Russells Flooring Ltd on future projects.

“We use UZIN products regularly and find their wide range of products and service outstanding, which helps provided a first class finish for our clients.”

A variety of UZIN products were used to renovate the flooring within the reception at Peterborough Regional College. The flooring contractor, Superior Finish Contracts was appointed to remove the old wood block flooring and install the new luxury vinyl tiles after a burst pipe flooded the reception. As the College provides education and training to over 10,000 students and businesses a year, it was extremely important that the new floor could withstand the heavy footfall. With many LVT manufacturers requiring at least a 25 N compressive strength smoothing compound it was also important that the correct products were used. Low strength smoothing compounds are susceptible to indentations that will mirror in the floor covering, especially if there is heavy traffic and trolley transportation

UZIN NC 150 smoothing compound has a high compressive strength of 25 N and produces a fantastic finish so was ideal for use in the College’s reception. The old wood block flooring was first removed by the College. Superior Finish Contracts then heavily scarified the subfloor before applying 2 coats of UZIN PE 414 DPM, followed by a coat of fine sand. UZIN Deep Fill was then used to infill these areas, followed by UZIN PE 360 primer and a finishing coat of UZIN NC 150. The LVT flooring was then installed with UZIN KE 2000 S, a low emission pressure sensitive adhesive. Carpet tile were also installed in the entrance using UZIN U 2100 tackifier. The floor was exceptional finished by Superior Finish Contracts and by using a UZIN system, Peterborough Regional College will benefit from a more durable floor which can tolerate the large amount of foot traffic.

UZIN flooring system was used to install approximately 1300 square metres of new vinyl at Holly Ward within Hinchingbrooke Hospital, which is run by Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust. The hospital is committed to providing the highest standards of health care, so required an environmentally friendly solution for the refurbishment. Having used a UZIN system to install the new floor at the sexual assault referral centre earlier in the year Superior Finish (Contracts) Ltd again chose a UZIN system for the renovation. The UZIN products provided the quality and environmental credentials required by Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust.

A suitable range of EC1 and solvent-free products were therefore used for the installation. EC1 products help reduce emissions and diminish health risks when installing floors. The old linoleum floor was first removed using a WOLFF Turbo-Stripper. To help save time UZIN NC 163 renovation smoothing compound was installed because it doesn’t require priming. UZIN KE 2000 S pressure sensitive adhesive was then used to install the vinyl flooring. The finish was outstanding producing a warm and welcoming environmen

UZIN Sponsors HMP Onley Floor Training Scheme

UZIN is pleased to announce the sponsorship of the Flooring Workshop and training scheme at HMP Onley.

Onley is an adult male prison located near Rugby in Warwickshire close to the Uzin Utz UK headquarters in Rugby. The floor training scheme is the first of its kind in the prison estate. The core aim is to assist in rehabilitation and help the individuals gain employment upon their release. The training involves subfloor preparation as well as carpet, vinyl, prefinished wood and luxury vinyl tiles installation.
Due to the skills shortage within the flooring industry, UZIN has always been an advocate of training and encourages apprenticeship schemes in order to help people get into the trade.

Daniel Leeson, UZIN Marketing Manager said: "When we heard of this local initiative to help rehabilitate these individuals by training them in flooring installations we were eager to help support the scheme. Fitting floors requires a remarkable amount of expertise and the prisoners are determined to turn their lives around by learning these new skills. We will be working with HMP Onley to help the trainees to gain employment upon their release and welcome any Flooring Contractors to contact us if they have any apprenticeship available."
