Walsh Flooring Services delivered full subfloor preparation and commercial safety vinyl installation for a commercial fit-out project in Cheltenham. The works encompassed preparing the subfloor with ARDEX NA subfloor smoothing compound and fitting smooth, high-performance safety vinyl sheet across complex multi-room partitions and structural pillars.
Subfloor Preparation & ARDEX NA Application
- Subfloor Priming & Levelling: ARDEX NA self-smoothing compound was applied across the entire floor area to eliminate subfloor imperfections, rough concrete texture, and height variations.
- Complex Area Coverage: The levelling compound was hand-poured and finished cleanly around multiple stud partition walls, internal columns, and electrical floor drops.
- Surface Ready Finish: The ARDEX NA compound cured into a glass-smooth surface, ensuring an optimal adhesive bond and preventing subfloor defects from telegraphing through the final vinyl finish.
Safety Vinyl Installation & Coved Skirting Detailing
- Commercial Safety Sheet Vinyl: Heavy-duty, slip-resistant sheet flooring in a mid-grey finish was installed across all main zones and sub-partition areas.
- Coved Base Finish: Sheet vinyl was extended up the perimeter stud walls and partition bases using coved capping details, forming a hygienic, easy-to-clean floor-to-wall seal.
- Precision Fitting: Material was scribed around complex structural pillars, internal wall returns, and floor outlets for a continuous, seamless installation.
Key Project Outcomes
- Flawless Foundation: ARDEX NA smoothing compound resolved subfloor irregularities to guarantee long-term performance.
- Hygienic & Low-Maintenance Finish: Coved skirting and seamless sheet fitting created a clean, durable surface suited to commercial demands.
- Expert Execution: Neat detailing around structural columns and partition layouts delivered a high-end commercial result.
