Floors & Flooring Natural Stone is a popular choice of flooring these days with a large range of finishes and colours to choose from. Maintaining the stone’s natural beauty is easily achievable when using the Lithofin Range. Lithofin provides a highly effective range of products for protecting and maintaining both Natural and Artificial Stone: Whether for installation, restoration or maintenance, Lithofin MN Power Clean is a mild alkaline cleaning product designed to remove all kinds of ingrained dirt and dusting. Before sealing you may wish to enhance the stone’s natural colour and structure with Lithofin MN Colour Intensifier. Impregnating sealants such as Lithofin MN Stain Stop will provide effective protection from oil, water and grease stains and can be maintained with Lithofin MN Wash & Clean which is specially designed to prolong the effectiveness of the sealants. FORBO INJECTS COLOUR INTO TEMPLE CARRIG SCHOOL A BREATH OF FRESH AIR FOR FLOORS? Underlay is an important element whatever the flooring being used. Using underlay offers several benefits; it reduces walking noise in the room, it makes carpets more comfortable to walk on, it provides heat insulation…and much more! Inspired by the mountainous views to the west and seaside views to the east, MCOH architects reflected the colours of the natural world that surrounds Temple Carrig School by specifying an array of vibrant shades from Forbo Flooring Systems’ Marmoleum range. “The lower ground floor reflects the earth’s crust and has Forbo’s fiery red Fresco shade installed; the upper ground floor has had the oceanic blue Laguna colourway fitted to echo the sea and the top floor replicates the mountains surrounding the school, with a purple Thistle colour to emulate the thick heather on the peaks.” For more information please visit www.forbo-flooring.co.uk/education And now QA Flooring Solutions are introducing Breathe underlay for carpet, a pioneering breakthrough with real health and environmental benefits perfect for today’s home.
