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.
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.
combined with high resistance to foot traffic and
slip. Zero VOC means no smell and with fast,
12 hour curing, PALLMANN 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.
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 German wood floor coatings company
PALLMANN worked with one of their

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,
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.
