Life In The Fast Lane With F. Ball

Spring is here, the days are getting longer, but the hours you put in will remain the same for every vinyl flooring project… until now!The team at F. Ball have always put you, the world’s best flooring contractors, at the top of their list of priorities, continuously striving to develop new products that deliver the best possible results.But F. Ball don’t simply look at flooring products in isolation, they apply ‘joined-up thinking’ to see how best to combine specific products, that when applied in conjunction actually deliver better and faster results.If you’ve a small vinyl flooring job to do, that’s say 40 miles away,you have two options:

(1) Use generic products – where you buy slow-drying surface damp proof membrane, slow setting underlayment, and everyday vinyl adhesive which takes ages before you can apply the vinyl – then you WAIT.This ‘Slow-Coach’ method could put an extra day on the job, cost you more in travel, not to mention parking charges!

Or (2) the F. Ball Fast-Track Way,born from F. Ball’s expertise,F. Ball know that the most valuable asset to a professional flooring contractor is TIME.Time is money – wasted time means a reduction in your profits.Contractors need a professional flooring system that gets the job done quickly without compromising on quality When you combine F. Ball’s Stopgap F78 Damp Proof Surface Membrane with Stopgap
Fast-Track 30 and NEW Styccobond F5 when laying vinyl flooring… you’ll be amazed!
Stopgap Fast-Track 30, F. Ball’s Rapid-Setting, Rapid-Drying, Self-Levelling Smoothing Underlayment contains the very latest advances in cement technology and provides a truly Fast-Track Solution and is suitable for use in light to heav duty applications for preparing sound absorbent and nonabsorbent subfloors prior to the installation of new floorcoverings.

Stopgap F78 impedes the passage of residual construction moisture, therefore allowing early installation of floorcoverings in‘Fast-Track’ building programmes.Stopgap F78 must be applied in two coats and can be used to isolate residual construction moisture where relative humidity values are up to 95% and is pigmented blue to enable visual control coverage uniformity –there’s no mixing required and can be resealed and stored for future use, so eliminating waste too.The very latest addition to the F. Ball Range of ‘Fast-Track Solutions’ is the NEW Styccobond F5 – a Fibrereinforced,Fast-drying, Solvent-free adhesive for installing vinyl floorcoverings in ‘Time Sensitive’installations. Its Fast-Drying properties allow for very early placement of vinyl floorcoverings– vinyl tiles can be placed immediately, but it is recommended to let the adhesive dry for five minutes to minimise the risk of tiles sliding.

New Styccobond F5 is ultimately adaptable and can be applied to structurally sound, smooth, dry,absorbent subfloors of concrete and sand/cement screed, Stopgap smoothing underlayments,plywood and hardboard.When you choose F. Ball ‘FastTrack Solutions’, you’ll reduce the need for double visits to site -halve your travel costs and reduce parking charges. You’ll also claim back many hours in time and make more profit.
