FLOORS & FLOORING
VÄLINGE SUPPLIES FLOORING FOR FASHIONABLE LONDON VENUE
Valinge Innovation has been causing a stir for the past year in the UK commercial flooring market with its unique hardened wood flooring range . Now it has been specified on a stunning refurb job in Central London , which highlights both the functionality and the outstanding aesthetic qualities of the Välinge range .
Market Halls Canary Wharf is a unique venue in a premium location next to the recently opened Elizabeth Line Station , offering stunning views over the canal and Canary Wharf . Modelled on the vibe of a popular street market , Market Halls features two bars and seven creative kitchens . It is easy therefore to see where the priorities of this venue lie and also appreciate the nature of the clientele – and why the recently completed refurb had to be implemented with only the best materials .
Working with Wood and Beyond , the specialist London-based importers and suppliers of hardwood products , Välinge were able to supply 450m ² of hardened wood flooring , which fully meets the requirements of this most discerning of customers . They were looking for maximum durability , in view of the high footfall through Market Halls , a strong position on sustainability and the most aesthetic stylish flooring available .
With its patented technologies of Woodura ® and 5G ® Dry™ , the Välinge Flooring brand is fully able to meet all these requirements . Woodura ® technology involves the fusing of a thin sheet of real wood with a wood fibre core through a powder mix layer . Compared to traditional wood flooring , the durability of the wood wear layer is massively increased .
The new hardened wood floors on this project comprised : Oak Nature Earth Grey Lacquered , Oak Nature Misty White Lacquered and Walnut Nature Terra Brown Lacquered – all in XL sizes . The timber comes from sustainable sources with FSC certification , while the unique Woodura ® technology makes the manufacturing process much more efficient and environmentally friendly in terms of timber usage than traditional processes .
The 5G ® Dry™ technology incorporated into the products means that the flooring is impervious to the kind of spills and splashes which are inevitable in a venue such as this .
