Twickenham Stadium Refurb Shortlisted For Prestigious Flooring Award

Construction News Image
A major refurbishment project which saw Twickenham stadium's East Stand transformed has been shortlisted for a prestigious flooring award.

The project has been named among three other nominees in the 'Best Use of Flooring in a Sports Venue' category at the CFJ/CFA awards, run by Contract Flooring Journal.

Schönox FPL Plus used in conjunction with Sika ComfortFloor® Flooring system ensured a hospitality area at Twickenham was supplied with safe, smart flooring as part of a major refurbishment of the stadium's East Stand. The system was delivered and serviceable within two days, ensuring its readiness for the facility's official opening in lieu of some high-profile rugby fixtures.

Janice Wells at Sika said: "This awards nomination is wonderful news. The Twickenham project was one we're particularly proud of. Schönox FPL Plus ensured this very demanding floor installation was carried out on time and ComfortFloor® provided the perfect seamless finish. The refurbishment is a flagship example of a manufacturer and contractor working collaboratively to produce superb flooring; a fact that has been acknowledged with this excellent award nomination."

Contractor, MJF Specialist Flooring, installed the Sika flooring system during the East Stand's refurbishment in autumn 2018. In total, 3000m2 of Sika Schönox FPL Plus levelling screed was applied across the building's six new event spaces; its rapid-setting time allowing for foot traffic after just four hours. Sika ComfortFloor® PS-27, with its superior acoustics and seamless floor-to-wall connections, provided the surface's soft ergonomic walking and standing finish.

This year's CFJ/CFA award winners will be announced during a ceremony held on 14 June at the Hilton Park Lane Hotel, London.
