Restoration Of Suspended Ceilings Saves Costs
Given the high cost to have suspended ceilings installed it makes sense to restore them when they become discoloured.
Glazed System For The Stars
Alco Beldan have completed an installation at a recently renovated property in North London which used to be the home of the golden couple Lulu and the late Maurice Gibb.
Commenting on the project, Peter Nicholls, director of True Grip said, "We were asked to survey the site and recommend a product".
"Aside from the look and feel of the replacement surfacing, it had to be strong enough to withstand trafficking from pedestrians and service vehicles".
"Addastone was an obvious choice".
Addastone uses naturally sourced or recycled aggregates bound with a specially formulated resin to create a robust surfacing with the appealing look of loose gravel, but without many of the maintenance issues.
Addastone can be made up of a variety of different aggregates for a bespoke effect.
True Grip installed 3,000m of Addastone in a 50% mix of 2-4mm Sienna and 2-5mm Buff Chinese Bauxite.
This created a finish and colour to perfectly complement the museum's surroundings.
As an approved Addastone installer, True Grip successfully completed the project in time despite last summer's wet weather.
The contractor is very pleased with the finished project, with Peter Nicholls adding, "The end result looks great and we have had excellent feedback from the British Museum".
"Addastone is a hardwearing yet natural looking surface that will require very little maintenance for many years".
