West Midlands School Chooses Ram Board For Hard Floor Protection

A West Midlands school has opted to use a specifically imported hard floor protection product in order to shield the floor of their brand new sports hall as they commence the new school year. Heartlands Academy in Birmingham ordered 800m­² of Ram Board to keep their floor in pristine condition as they welcome the annual intake of new students to the school.

With the aim of providing a balanced education, relevant to the needs and abilities of their pupils and attentive to the demands of society, Heartlands Academy serves a broad and diverse community, and helps all pupils mature into responsible adults. Their brand new sports hall was launched this week and will help the school’s PE and Sport department to maintain its award-winning status; the Youth Sports Trust recently awarded Heartlands a National Innovation Award for ‘Excellent Use of PE & School Sport to Improve Whole School Standards’.

The brand new floor in the new building is intended to last for many generations, and as a result, will need some tough protection in the coming years. A consignment of temporary floor protector Ram Board, crafted in and imported from the US and supplied by UK provider Trio Plus, has been laid, in order to give the brand new high-quality floor the fortification it needs.

Many temporary floor protection products are not compatible with new floors which have recently been laid; they require a surface which has been in place for at least a few months. But Ram Board’s unique flex-fibre technology and the vapour permeable layer which protects the floor from all liquids and spillages, means that the hard wood floor protection product can be used on all floors, old or new. The floor protection product is also environmentally friendly and is manufactured using recycled materials including cardboard and ply-fibres.

Ram Board is easy to deliver and even easier to install; the roll format makes for simple transportation from the delivery van to the site where it will be used, and as the product was originally for use on Hollywood film sets, its hardwearing and durable nature are guaranteed. The heavy foot traffic which will be sustained within a school sports hall, especially within the first few weeks of term, with countless assemblies and meetings to acquaint new arrivals with their surroundings, will no longer be a worry, and the brand new floor will be completely protected by this inexpensive, efficient and simple solution.
