Four challenging and complex projects completed using Sika’s high-performance flooring products have been shortlisted in the annual FeRFA Resin Flooring Association Best Practice Awards. Sika submitted two entries in the Large Industrial Project of the Year category and one each in the Small Industrial and Small Commercial categories, with each project entered in conjunction with an established flooring contractor. All four have made the respective shortlists.

The two Large Industrial entries, BMW Oxford and Howden Joinery, were entered in partnership with IRL Group and Zircon Flooring, respectively. The Small Industrial category entry, also submitted in partnership with Zircon Flooring, was for the contractor’s work on the ITV Emmerdale studio project.

For Stick ‘n’ Step, a charity based in Wallasey, Merseyside which supports young people with cerebral palsy, contractors Quest Industrial required a new anti-slip flooring solution. Sika ComfortFloor® Pro, a smooth, durable, slip-resistant, resin-based system that boasts excellent shock absorption properties was specified.

Mark Bushell, Sika Flooring Business Unit Manager, said: “We are delighted to have all four of the projects we co-submitted shortlisted for the FeRFA Awards. Each project demonstrates how contractor and manufacturer can work together to achieve the end clients’ brief – meeting each individual project timescale and performance requirements. We look forward to attending the award ceremony next month.”
