After the discovery of severe subfloor moisture within the Gulbenkien Caf\u00e9 at Kent University, a UZIN system was chosen to install the new flooring and provide a long term solution. <\/p>\n

The initial project was to replace the existing vinyl floor coverings in the cafe as bubbles had appeared in certain areas. The flooring contractor, SW Flooring removed the existing floor coverings, and it became apparent that there was a moisture problem with the subfloor. SW Flooring was also presented with a variety of subfloors, ranging from paving slabs, adjoining timber sections, ceramic tiles and screed. The work also had to be undertaken out of normal working hours, so that the cafe could stay operational during the day, to serve students and staff members.<\/p>\n

SW Flooring therefore needed high quality products and service from a manufacturer that instilled them with confidence. SW Flooring had a very good relationship with the UZIN technical team and together helped create a specification for the project. After fixing the problematic subfloor with various UZIN products the new rubber and LVT floor coverings were installed across 400 m2 with UZIN KE 66 adhesive. As a result the University are very pleased with the workmanship and specification that was created for the project.<\/p>\n
