‘TACT TILES’
ISLINGTON CUSTOMER CENTRE
Olivers Contracts chose a UZIN system to install luxury vinyl tiles at the
Islington Customer Centre. Approximately 900 m2 of old flooring had
become contaminated and worn from general foot traffic. Overall, the floor
appeared soft and a little unstable. A further concern was that premium
luxury vinyl tiles needed to be installed within open and expansive areas
containing large windows. Consequently, the floor would be subject to a
considerable amount of natural light and potential heat. The floor preparation and installation therefore had to be perfect so Olivers Contracts
turned to UZIN’s premium quality product systems to resolve the problems.
A Wolff Samba machine with a diamond bits was first used to remove all
contamination and loose latex. UZIN PE 280 primer was used to create a
barrier between the cementitious subfloor and UZIN NC 110 calcium
sulphate based smoothing compound. The luxury vinyl tiles were then
installed with UZIN KE 66 high temperature adhesive. The project was
completed without any complications. The client was exceptionally pleased
with the finish throughout all areas and there hasn’t been any subfloor or product
failuresince.GarethJenkins,ProjectManageratIslingtonCouncilsaid“Iamvery

‘Tact Tiles’ Antistatic and ESD tiles are perfect for areas such as
laboratories, computer suites, electronic assembly areas or any areas
where static electricity generation is an issue. Our Range of ESD
(electro static dissipative) tiles are specifically designed and manufactured
to prevent electro static discharges from affecting or damaging electrical
devices as well as for the safety of employees. ESD tiles will need a
grounding tile for every 80m2, this then connects to a plug socket, with
the conductive tape laid every meter in a grid like format beneath the tiles.
