University of Bristol is continuing its commitment to the refurbishment of its Halls of Residences by specifying Quadrant Carpets to supply 1800m2 of Powerbond sheet flooring across all six stories of the Manor Hall residence, which houses up to 140 Students.
Continuing its long term relationship with the University, Quadrant Carpets was successful in supplying sheet flooring by demonstrating its understanding of the specific requirements of the education environment.
Originally opened as a purpose built Residence in 1932, Manor Hall is being updated with the selection of Powerbond Abrasive Action for the heavy footfall entrance areas and Powerbond Applause for the corridors and common areas. This hybrid resilient carpet solution offers outstanding long term performance and durability that often outlasts its 25-year warranty.
Mr Nick Fryer, Residences Surveyor, University of Bristol, stated: "One of the University's requirements for our Halls of Residences is to ensure the overall environment is welcoming to our Students as well as making sure all finishes are attractive and hardwearing over the years ahead. The University has worked with Quadrant Carpets for a number of years and Powerbond meets our specific needs."
Quadrant Carpets has an established track record of education contracts and Powerbond is gaining acceptance and tender wins within the education market. The innovative material use and construction techniques, of Powerbond, ensure maximum durability, extremely low VOCs, exceptional thermal and acoustic attributes as well as guaranteeing it as 100% recyclable.
The range is designed for extremely high use environments, such as education and health where it is essential to provide a low cost of total lifecycle ownership, high standards of compliance, easy maintenance and user comfort attributes. The range also offers quick and easy installation through the ‘Peel and Stick' factory applied adhesive, which allows immediate use of the flooring once it is laid.
Mr Chris Forbes, Area Sales Manager, Quadrant Carpets, commented: "Manor Hall is an exceptional building and Powerbond Applause provides a robust and sympathetic solution within this environment. The chosen product is aesthetically pleasing in the confines of this important historical property."
