West Cumberland Hospital gets the Ardex treatment
Ardex worked with flooring contractors TT Flooring of Workington, who were commissioned to install the floorcoverings for the refurbished West Cumberland Hospital.
Ardex S 16 benefits from Ardex's 'Rapidry Formula Technology' which binds the mix water within the adhesive ensuring tiles can be grouted or trafficked 2-3 hours after fixing, and in addition virtually eliminates the risk of the mix water from the adhesive having an adverse reaction with the resin conglomerate tiles.
To conclude this prestigious project, the tiles were grouted with Ardex GK grey grout for wall and floor tiling.
Ardex GK is a cement-based grout which has been developed with rapid hardening properties, and is ideal for internal and external use.
Highly versatile, Ardex GK is suitable for use with ceramic and natural stone tiles, extruded tiles, brick pavers and floor tiles with ribbed or studded surfaces, and can be used for joint widths from 3mm to 20mm.
"We were delighted to be commissioned for Heathrow's Terminal 3 Arrivals Hall extension".
"By working in partnership with Ardex we knew that their tiling products would provide system compatibility with exceptional performance, and together we delivered an outstanding result for this latest phase of Terminal 3's development", enthused Bob Kavanagh of Kingswood Tiling.
