STICK ‘ N’ STEP

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Quest were recommended by Sika to replace an old, uneven and sloping classroom floor with a brand new state of the art flooring solution for a charity based in Wallasey Merseyside.

The charity supports young people with cerebral palsy and helps teach them the necessary skills to help them live more independently, so their classroom environment is an essential part of everyday life.

As a great deal of the classes they run take place on the floor, a fit-for-purpose and high-performance replacement was top priority when its existing timber and vinyl flooring started o deteriorate and become a trip hazard. For Stick ‘n’ Step, its classroom floor is much more than something to walk on – its also a place where they deliver speciast education sessions.

OVERVIEW

Quest were tasked with installing a strong, safe and soft floor for a 90m2 area. Through the specification of Sika Comfortfloor® Decorative Pro, Quest Industrial Flooring were able to meet Stick ‘n’ Step’s brief.

The smooth, durable, slip resistant, resin-based system boasts excellent shock absorption properties and provides a comfortable surface to learn and play on thanks to its cushioning layers. Its durability and easy-to-clean benefits were important from a health and safety angle.

Quest were given just four weeks to complete the project, a challenge made more difficult by the discovery that the sub-base underneath the existing wood and vinyl flooring required replacing. This involved installing a new high-strength, early loadable screed that required a week to fully set.

The ease at which the Sika ComfortFloor® Decorative Pro system was applied by Quest meant that despite the project’s challenges, the children were able to resume lessons after the summer holidays.

The new floor was installed within the given timeframe and to the clients full satisfaction.

WHAT THE CLIENT HAD TO SAY

“The team at Stick ‘n’ Step needed to replace an old, uneven and sloping floor with a brand new, state of the art flooring solution for our work with children and young people with cerebral palsy. From quote to completion, our team was kept up to date with progress and had regular explanations of the different phases involved in the work.

We now have a totally level, totally flat, hygienic floor that will last us for more than 20 years.”
