Historic London Building Selects Correx Floor Protection From TrioPlus

A historic London landmark has selected Trio Plus floor protection products to safeguard its floors during renovation works.

 St Martin-in-the-Fields church in Trafalgar Square is currently carrying out internal works and has ordered temporary floor protection from Trio Plus to ensure its basement remains in pristine condition during construction.

A familiar Trafalgar Square icon, the Church is a bustling place of worship with over 20 services and a half dozen concerts each week. With a range of activities such as guided tours, brass rubbing, gallery, shop, entertainment spaces and music schedule, protecting the integrity of the building is of the utmost importance.

St-Martin-in-the-Fields selected Correx Polyflute Plastic Sheets from the TrioPlus range. Correx plastic sheeting is designed to protect hard floors and multiple surfaces from damage caused by building works, dust, dirt, heavy equipment or foot traffic. It creates a moisture and dirt proof layer, which is manufactured as a 2mm/250gsm thick extruded polypropylene fluted sheet.

Tough, strong and lightweight, Correx hard floor protection sheets are easy to handle, making them an ideal solution for large spaces and irregularly shaped rooms. The Correx can be cut, curved and creased with a paring knife, giving a custom fit in any style of space. This flexibility means the floor protection covers the entire expanse of floor with no underlying material left uncovered.

Like all hard floor protection products by TrioPlus, Correx plastic sheets are water proof, offer chemical resistance, are non toxic and impact proof. The ideal solution for historic venues such as St-Martin-in-the-Fields, Correx sheets can be used to confidently protect old and valuable floors.

Ram Board Temporary Floor Protection Gets Full Marks At Exam Time

Two Dorset schools have chosen to opt for a Hollywood-style hard floor protection product specifically imported from the USA to protect their expensive sports hall floors over the exam period. Bryanstone and Clayesmore, both prestigious independent boarding schools, have chosen to use the Ram Board product, which was developed exclusively for use on Hollywood film sets to provide protection from heavy cameras, foot traffic and equipment during filming sessions.

Ram Board is the perfect antidote to the substantial foot traffic that will be a feature of exam season, as well as the weighty chairs and desks which will line the Bryanstone and Clayesmore sports halls. Not only is the hard floor protection product known to be one of the toughest around, it is also one of the most cost effective; lining a sports hall with druggets can cost up to £6,000, while the imported Ram Board can cost less than £1,000.

The fitting of the Ram Board is quick and easy, so there is no need to disrupt sports activities in the hall in the week leading up to the exams. It has been tested and its quality verified on heavy-duty building and construction sites, with forklift trucks carrying weighty loads being driven over it all day long, so it is the perfect product to leave an expensive wooden floor undamaged. The rolls which the Ram Board is supplied on make it easy to transport, and it can be walking upon as soon as it is laid; no drying or setting time necessary.

The innovative temporary floor protection is not only effective and budget-friendly, but also environmentally sound. Made from cardboard, paper, ply-fibres and reinforcer, the Ram Board boasts 100% recycled materials in its make-up. The eco-friendly aspect also means that upon the students finishing their exams, the floor covering can be removed leaving no marks. Best of all, the tough and hardwearing Ram Board can be easily stored and used again whenever necessary. It can be used time and time again to cover a whole multitude of areas, including basketball courts, dance studios and assembly halls, removing the need to purchase disposable floor protection every time.  

Floor protection specialists Trio Plus are the only UK suppliers of Ram Board. Orders can be placed online at www.trioplus.co.uk or over the phone: 01372 747555.

Ram Board Chosen To Protect Vintage Floors at 2012 Pasadena House of Design

The award-winning Ram Board range of hard floor protection has been selected by the 2012 Pasadena House of Design. Supplied exclusively in the UK by TrioPlus but originally designed in the USA, Ram Board is Trio Plus' latest addition to its range of temporary floor protection products. It was used to protect the original vintage floors of the House of Design by all of the contractors who took part in the renovation works.

An annual event, The House of Design showcase kicked off on April 15 this year in Pasadena, California. The exhibition features the work of 21 interior designers and seven landscape gardeners who transformed the house using cutting-edge tattoo-like wall designs, hand painted floors and inspirational outdoor spaces. The estate, set in the beautiful La Cañada Flintridge district, was designed in 1927 and has a total of 8 bedrooms and bathrooms. The house reflects elements of the Spanish Colonial Revival, featuring distinct Spanish, Mexican, Italian and North African designs.  The choice to use Ram Board to protect the estate's vintage floors was in keeping with the taste and style of the estate.

A spokesperson for Trio Plus said, “One of the main advantages of Ram Board hard floor protection is that it provides quick-to-apply, tough and long-lasting floor protection. Earlier this year, the Hale Country Club and Spa in Cheshire chose to use the range during initial construction, showing just how versatile it is.”

Unlike many temporary floor protection products which are not vapour-permeable, Ram Board can be used as soon as the floor has been laid. Engineered for contractors and designed to cover hard floors efficiently and economically, it was named one of the best flooring products of the year by Tomorrow’s Flooring magazine.
