Bathroom refurbishment completed at the Best Western Castle Green Hotel in Kendal with Ultra's high performance floor levelling range.
Toyota, the world's third largest vehicle manufacturer and currently at the heart of global manufacturing, has granted finance for showroom makeovers at many of its UK dealerships.
The top priority, however, is to ensure little or no disruption or inconvenience is caused to customers.
The company therefore sought a commercial flooring contractor that could complete the showroom refurbishment in as short space of time as possible and to the standard required.
The ease of application and rapid setting properties of the Ultra materials helped ensure that the contractor was able to comply.
Astley Tiling normally specialise in the renovation of commercial dwellings and has used the Ultra range of professional tile adhesive and grout materials for a number of years.
The company's project portfolio includes high profile clients such as LK Bennets, Vision Express, Massarella Cafe Bars and other car dealerships.
A spokesman for the company commented "In the past we have tried so many different tile adhesives and grouts and none have exceeded the quality and performance of Ultra materials".
"Previously used materials were of 'chewing gum' consistency, which prompted us to seek another material supplier".
"Luckily we came across the Ultra range".
"As well as being of a smooth and creamy consistency, they make application easier and much quicker, resulting in faster completion times".
