Ardex enables flooring installation at Heathrow T1

Ardex UK has teamed up with flooring contractor Loughton Contracts to deliver a flooring refurbishment at Heathrow Airports Terminal 1.

The most suitable Ardex System Solution was specified, which enabled final floorcoverings to be laid at the earliest opportunity.

Once the existing floorcoverings had been uplifted and the subfloors mechanically prepared, Ardex's low odour latex smoothing compound, Arditex NA was applied.

A self-smoothing, protein free latex levelling compound, Arditex NA has been developed for use on virtually all substrates.

It can be laid from a feather edge up to at least 12mm in a single application.

Thicknesses up to 30mm are possible when Ardex Aggregate is incorporated into the mix.

Arditex NA is sutable for levelling concrete, cement/sand screeds, flooring grade asphalt, quarry tiles and even internal steel decks without priming.

The ammonia free formulation makes it suited for use in such a high trafficked public area.

Ardex AF 2300 advanced adhesive was used to fix floorcoverings from Nora Flooring Systems UK; Nora Ultra Grip rubber safety flooring with increased slip resistance, and Norament 925 Grano rubber floor covering for extra high traffic areas.

Ardex AF 2300 is a single part, water-based, low odour and solvent free adhesive.

The adhesive offers good early and long term adhesive strength, and allows the installation of rubber floorcoverings up to 4mm thick without the need for the adhesive to develop tack.
