Cardiff Castle is a
Victorian Gothic revival mansion and medieval castle located in the city centre
of Cardiff, Wales.
When Cardiff Castle
wanted to regenerate an under-used space within the heart of the historic site,
to provide a marketing and promotional suite for the city, they turned to
international flooring specialist Gerflor to supply 200m2of its stunning and
award-winning Creation 70 LVT Halifax Stone flooring for the new area.
This weighty task
would fall to local flooring experts MH Flooring who serve a wide range of
clients including building contractors, commercial enterprises, private care
homes, schools, and local authorities.
Marcus Howells,
Managing Director, MH Flooring commented: “We were approached by Cardiff City
Council to provide a quotation for the renewal of the flooring to the
first-floor area of the visitor centre.
“We put forward
Gerflor Creation 70 LVT due to its vast colour palette and different effects it
creates. We also knew it would provide the required durability for an area with
heavy footfall.”
Mark Coleman,
Business Development Officer, Cardiff City Council said: “We already had an
existing relationship with the flooring installer MH Flooring from previous
works undertaken at regeneration projects on listed buildings such as Tramshed
and Cardiff Bay Station, therefore they as an installer and the Gerflor
flooring products were a natural choice for the project.”
This year, Gerflor
has launched the most complete range of floor tiles and planks available on the
market.
Aimed at architects,
opinion leaders, and professionals, the Creation LVT range offers various
formats, designs, and traffic-resistance qualities. It provides specifiers with
endless design possibilities and is a perfect solution for those creative interior
spaces. voted CFJ/CFA Product of the Year at the 2017 Flooring Industry Awards,
this range will inspire and enhance any interior space and includes unique
realistic brand-new wood, stone and mineral effect designs... many of which are
exclusive to Gerflor.
Available in 58
designs and in 10 different sizes with many designs having bevelled edges and
embossed finishes for added realism.
The Creation 70 mix
is a unique offering of 3 plank widths in a box and there are also new longer
sized planks and larger tiles. The Creation 70 range is specifically adapted to
heavy traffic applications with a 0.70 mm wear layer, is 100% recyclable and
REACH compliant. The range also comes with a PUR+ surface treatment for easier
cleaning and maintenance.
Marcus Howells
concluded by saying: “We have also recently installed the Gerflor Creation LVT
collection in the Old Cardiff Bay railway station as we can rely on the quality
and performance of the range. I value the service and back up from the Gerflor
representatives who will provide sampling and over-see the supply process,
ensuring the flooring contractor can deliver the project on time and to
budget.”
