Mapei resilient floorcovering products have been used at Arnold Hill Academy, a new multi million pound state of the art school building.

The school, based in Nottingham, aims to transform the education of 1,700 students with this new cutting age development.

Pinnacle Special Projects carried out the installation of the floorcoverings for Wates Construction Ltd.

The new three storey building at Arnold Hill Academy includes 57 work spaces, classrooms as well a theatre and sports hall.

Mapei specified 2150m2 of Mapeproof One Coat and 1250m2 Mapeproof ESM surface applied damp proof membranes, both of which are solvent free with extremely low odour making them ideal for use in inhabited areas such as schools.
