Be a good sport from the ground up
April 1st 2010 Make the right impression in sports facilities with new floor finishes from Granwax
Granwax Flooring has launched two exclusive new products to
its 'Total' range of wood floor finishes – Sport 1K and Sport 2K.
The finishes are suitable for specialised commercial
applications such as sports halls, gymnasiums and other locations
used for sporting activities where
durability is of prime importance.
Sports floors are continuously exposed
to extremely heavy traffic which can leave
them looking old and worn, and eventually
cause irreparable damage if not properly
finished and protected.
A sports floor is a costly investment for
any facilities manager; not only does it
need to provide the right degree of
traction for a sports surface and have
extreme durability, it needs to have a
quality appearance as this can have a big
impact on the perception of a leisure
venue.Granwax's Sport finishes offer a
resolution to this problem, ensuring 'a hard
wearing and beautiful finish every time'.
Granwax Sport 1K, like all of Granwax's
floor finishes, is comprised of a specially developed water-based
polyurethane formula.Containing only one component, Sport 1K
provides a resilient and long-lasting finish as well as excellent
damage and chemical resistant properties.The Sports 1K finish is
suitable for use on wood block, strip and parquet flooring, and can be
used to treat both new and refurbished sports floors.
Sport 2K comprises all of the benefits of the Sport 1K finish, but
being a two pack system has increased
durability making it suitable for sports
floors with extremely heavy traffic.
"Granwax has been a trusted name in
wooden floor finishes for nearly 100
years, and as such we take pride in
producing high quality, highly durable
products," says Carl Blythe,Granwax
director.
"Sport 1K and Sport 2K are no
exception, providing contractors with an
easy to use, fast drying formula that is
ideal for sports floors.
"In addition, both Sport 1K and Sport
2K have VOC levels of less than 90 grams
per litre,making them safe for use in
confined areas as well as meeting the EU
air quality legislation regarding VOC's."
Sport 1K and Sport 2K are available in a Satin (low sheen) finish in
5ltr bottles, from selected
hardware stores and distributors. More articles from Granwax Products Ltd: |
