A six-floor student AccommodAtion complex, situated
opposite St James’ Park in Newcastle, has provided a Scandinavian
escape in the city centre thanks to luxury vinyl flooring specialist,
Moduleo. room is bespoke, so we were able to utilise different laying
patterns, something which is so much easier when using well-
engineered products, as they’re quicker to install versus other
materials that have to be retrofitted on site.
More than 1,800 sqm of Transform was installed across 14 one-
to five-bedroom studio apartments and cluster flats to provide a
stylish and hard-wearing floorcovering for the Let’s Live Here St
James’ View scheme. “It’s not often you get a floor covering of such quality at a decent
price point and the finished product looks fantastic. The rooms look
very sophisticated – more like a hotel th an student accommodation,
so we’re really proud to have worked on the project.”
Dubbed as ‘a place where you get more living from your living
space’, the rooms offer high-tech kitchens, en-suite shower rooms
and space to study, socialise and entertain. Neil Wilson concluded: “My brief was to deliver a high-end look
and I think the Moduleo flooring was the icing on the cake in this
respect.
Neil Wilson, owner of Neil Wilson Design, said: “’Sophisticated
Scandi’ was the look I was going for, so I needed a floor covering that
would complement the grey and feature colours, without causing a
distraction and also offer texture without too many ridges. “All of the interior elements complement each other nicely and the
client is really happy, so you can’t ask for much more than that!”
“The flooring needed to add to the soft, contemporary, warm feel,
so aesthetics were important but, it also needed to withstand heavy
footfall on a daily basis and fit within budget constraints. Moduleo’s
Transform products fit the bill perfectly.
Moduleo is manufactured in Belgium by the world’s leading
manufacturer of vinyl flooring, IVC Group.

Trevor Duggan from Monument flooring added: “We’ve used Moduleo
a lot for commercial schemes, but this is the first time we’ve worked
with the materials on a large-scale student accommodation project.
“The great thing about the St James’ View scheme is that every
