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.
The flooring work included all the exterior walkways around the Mission Control complex.
Flowcrete's state-of-the-art surfaces were also used in the Saturn One Rocket Building, housing the Saturn One rocket used to send the Apollo space craft into outer space.
The company's American office - based in Conroe, Texas, supervised the installation which included the creation of an eye-catching logo at ground level in NASA's distinctive livery.
Mark Greaves, Group Managing Director of Flowcrete, which has its headquarters in Sandbach, Cheshire, said: "This project reflects Flowcrete's ability to deliver high performance flooring suitable for one of the most dynamic, innovative and well-known locations in the world.
"It is a hugely prestigious project for us to undertake and one which reaches new heights in the flooring industry".
Flowcrete used its Flowfast 'two-hour flooring concept' at NASA.
This rapid curing system uses the latest resin technology to deliver a finished surface ready for use just two hours after application.
The system has been a major success in the UK, where the concept was created by Flowcrete's research and development team.
Since then Flowfast has been exported across the globe, to the Middle and Far East, as well as America and - more recently - Africa.
