Nightclub and bar operator, Brook Leisure, has substituted its traditional wood flooring in favour for vinyl in a move to improve the venues longevity without sacrificing its stylish interiors.
Durability, low maintenance and cost were key factors in the decision to switch from its traditional wooden flooring as Brook Leisure’s Design Manager, Glyn Dyer, explains.
“Our venues have to withstand a high footfall and therefore we operate an approximate seven year refurbishment programme for each of the sites to ensure the standards are maintained.”
“Previously we have used real timber to create the desired warm look but the wear and tear is really not good. Spillages and heeled shoes result in the floor looking scratched and dull.”
“The Spacia range from Amtico International was very comprehensive, its extensive wood range captures the characteristics of natural wood but unlike the real thing doesn’t dent, fade or warp over time.”
The unique multi performance system delivers unrivalled durability and unbeatable appearance retention. Its urethane surface provides a toughened and scuff resistance surface while its performance layers are impregnated with ceramic for improved slip resistance, all crucial for the leisure industry.
Each venue has seen a reduction in its maintenance costs. “The flooring not only looks good but is easy to maintain. Cleaning is faster and simple and unlike natural floors we don’t have to sand or re-varnish to revive its beauty. The floor is looking just as good today as the day it was installed.
