Hull University Parquet Floor Installation

The Project manager contacted us regarding this parquet floor installation project at University of Hull. Because the floor was previously flooded, we had to remove existing blocks and leave the subfloor to dry for a period of time. Once dried screed was put down. After the screed we laid a new solid oak parquet floor. When the floor was fully laid, we have sanded and oiled with red brown oil to match other parquet floors in the building. To finish the floor and give it strength we have applied 4 coats of high traffic lacquer. As always to fit in with the customers requirement this project was done during holiday time to reduce disruption.

Oak Parquet Blocks Laid Hull University

The University of Hull is a public research university in Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It was founded in 1927 as University College Hull. For this job we had to use flooring equipment with the existing one so with the management we decided to use oak parquet block stained with a mahogany stain.

For this project we had a total of 160 sqm of prime oak parquet block to install over several days to suit the universities opening hours. In this project we also had to do a curved disabled ramp and several steps.
