Flooring with the wow factor
Sika’s flooring experts are touring the UK
to deliver their newly updated CPD seminar
programme to architects and specifiers.
‘The Specifier’s Guide to Flooring’ explores
the many options in industrial, commercial and
specialist floor finishes available to today’s
practitioners, and how these can contribute to
achieving greater design freedom.
The RIBA certified programme includes the
features and benefits of integral and surface
applied finishes and the implications of floor
finish specifications for resins, screeds and dry
shake systems. Plus, as a special addition to
this year’s seminar, the one hour sessions will
also feature a section on recent innovations in
seamless vinyl flooring systems, a move which
follows the launch of Sika’s innovative liquid
applied Decorative and Comfort floor ranges.
Sika’s high performance, epoxy and
polyurethane resin flooring systems push
the boundaries in liquid applied vinyl to new
levels, offering a sustainable, cost effective and
seamless solution with thousands of design
possibilities. From bold single colours to granite,
decorative quartz, decorative flake and marble
effects, the stylish range lends itself to new build
and refurbishment projects across a wide range
SIKA LIMITED
of sectors including retail, offices, healthcare,
leisure, education and food and drink.
For example, the Sika Comfortfloor® range is
ideally suited to commercial and public buildings
where personnel stand for long periods of
time, or where reduction in footfall noise and
horizontal noise transmission is required. As a
seamless system it is easy to apply and can be
built up to serve individual comfort, acoustic,
design, colour and cost requirements, with
versatile finishes, smooth and anti-slip coatings,
covings, floor to wall coatings, and incorporation
into underfloor heating systems.
Sika is delivering three flooring CPDs in June as
part of the RICS Innovation Days, which will be
held in Leeds on June 6th, Nottingham on June
13th and Warrington on June 27th 2014. The full
Sika roadshow timetable, and details of how to
book bespoke practice visits, will be available on
the company’s website.
Mark Bushell, National Sales Manager for
Flooring and Refurbishment at Sika, said,
“We’ve been running flooring CPDs for a
number of years now and one of the things
that always surprises specifiers is the sheer
scope of flooring systems available in today’s
marketplace. Our new and updated 2014

flooring CPD programme is designed to bring
architects and specifiers up to speed on our
extensive range of floorings and coatings,
which have been designed to fulfil an endless
combination of functional and aesthetic
requirements while meeting, or exceeding, all
of the latest standards for both new build and
refurbishment works. We’re especially looking
forward to sharing details of our new decorative
flooring ranges, which offer an impressive
alternative to traditional sheet vinyl, lino, tile and
timber flooring solutions.”
Sika has developed flooring systems for a wide
range of markets, taking into account design life,
operational requirements, construction joints,
floor to wall connections, surface design and
installation details. Operational considerations
cover many factors including traffic and
mechanical wear, fire protection, impact and
chemical resistance.
Sika’s commercial flooring systems are available
to download in a number of formats including
BIM and NBS Plus. The innovative manufacturer
has also developed an online flooring estimating
tool to help customers calculate the required
area and build up of their chosen flooring
system.
