Fortis Academy – Marmoleum Flooring Installation in Corridors
The Project
Mazon Flooring was appointed by one of our flood restoration clients to replace Forbo Marmoleum flooring in the corridors of Fortis Academy, Birmingham. As a heavy-duty natural floor covering, Marmoleum is an ideal choice for educational environments, offering durability, sustainability, and ease of maintenance.
Our Process
- Assessment & Preparation
- Our team conducted a full site survey, assessing the extent of the flood damage.
- The existing flooring was carefully removed, allowing the subfloor to dry out fully.
- Moisture Testing & Scheduling
- Once the subfloor was confirmed as dry, we coordinated with the school and main contractor to schedule the installation at a convenient time.
- Subfloor Preparation
- A full coat of Kelmore smoothing compound was applied to create a level, smooth surface, ensuring an optimal foundation for the new Marmoleum flooring.
- Marmoleum Installation
- Given the specialist nature of Marmoleum, we followed precise acclimatisation and installation methods to ensure a long-lasting, high-performance finish.
- The joints were heat-welded for enhanced durability and a seamless appearance.
- Final Touches & Handover
- The floor was professionally cleaned before handover, ensuring it was ready for immediate use.
