TilePlans Flooring Solution For Festive Season Refurbishment Or Relocation

Flooring specialist TilePlans is poised to help businesses take advantage of the seasonal Christmas and New Year holiday to complete a factory or office refurbishment or business relocation.

Many businesses close over the festive season or operate with reduced staffing levels. This creates an opportunity to complete a factory or office refurbishment or business relocation with minimal business disruption.

It is important to consider minimal business disruption when planning a factory or office refurbishment or business relocation.

A refurbishment or relocation at any time other than when the business is closed or operating at a low level during a seasonal holiday is likely to involve business disruption and add to the overall project cost.

So the forthcoming Christmas and New Year holiday may be an ideal time for some businesses to press ahead with a factory or office refurbishment or business relocation to ensure minimal business disruption.

Flooring is a key element of any factory or office refurbishment or business relocation and this is where TilePlans interlocking floor tiles play a vital role as the floor is easy to fit and can be rapidly installed.

The floor tiles can be loose laid over almost any surface. No glue is needed, preparation work is usually minimal and no specialist installation skill is required. Just use a rubber mallet to tap the floor tiles together at the interlock to assemble the floor.

While a floor area is usually laid entirely in one go, it is feasible to assemble the floor in sections if necessary to ensure minimal business disruption. Measures to assist continuity of output and service must be built into plans for a factory or office refurbishment or business relocation to achieve the objective of minimal business disruption.

Steve Brookes, owner of Spartan Bodyworks in Barnsley, recently laid 100 square metres of medium-grey TilePlans interlocking floor tiles over the gym floor on a Sunday. No revenue was lost as the gym opens Monday to Saturday and is closed on Sundays.

Steve laid the floor in sections, moving equipment to make room for the floor tiles and then replacing it after the floor had been laid.

Mr Brookes said that a carpeting option would have taken three days, as all the equipment would have had to be moved outside and then put back again after fitters had laid the carpet.
