WOOD FLOOR
RENOVATION
ROYAL INSTITUTE OF BRITISH ARCHITECTS
The light-flooded Royal Institute of
British Architects headquarters, at 66
Portland Place, Central London was
opened by King George V and Queen
Mary in 1934 and represents the best
of British architecture. The open design
incorporates floor-to-ceiling windows,
creating an oasis of light and space.
RIBA Venues’ event facilities host conferences, meetings, dinners, receptions,
weddings and creative events for up to
400 guests. With three roof terraces, it
offers rare outside space. Today RIBA
Venues plays host to a vast range of
events for corporates, associations,
charities and private clients.
The imposing Florence Hall is the focal point of the
building, and the stone floor panels inset into and
contrasting with the original “Chuglum” (Indian Silverwood) wood floor sets an impressive back drop
to this outstanding space. Over 80 years and many
renovations the floor was looking very careworn.
The German wood floor coatings company
PALLMANN worked with one of their warranted
Parkettprofi contractors to complete the renovation.

The house architect specified PALLMANN MAGIC
OIL to protect the floor due to its natural protective
properties, bringing the colour of the Chuglum
back to its original, combined with high resistance
to foot traffic and slip. Zero VOC means no smell
and with fast, 12 hour curing, MAGIC OIL can be
patched in and over-coated easily and floors can
be put back into operation quickly and with minimal
down time. It also comes in a variety of colours.
So with the help of a specifically designed ongoing
maintenance programme, the Florence Hall floor
will stay protected and looking great for many more
years to come.
