Students at Reading University can now study in style thanks to the installation of Platinum Care from Heckmondwike FB. Combining comfort, performance and aesthetics, Platinum Care was the ideal choice when carpeting the newly refurbished St Georges Hall accommodation in Reading’s student village.
As a heavy contract, 1/10” gauge, cross over cut pile tufted carpet, with an impervious high density foam backing, Platinum Care offers excellent traction, limiting the risk of slip and fall injuries. The carpet’s acoustic properties ensure sound dampening for a peaceful environment. Furthermore, thanks to its permanent staining and bleach resistance, plus anti-static properties, the range provides high performance and durability. It is also easy to clean and maintain, making Platinum Care an extremely cost-effective flooring solution.
Dreadnought, a heavy contract broadloom carpet, was also laid at the main door to the entrance hall, to reduce the dirt and grime carried through the building and maximise the life of the Platinum Care inside.
In addition to the prestige accommodation, standard student flats were also revamped as part of the project. Supacord from Heckmondwike FB was rolled out in the attractive Damson colourway throughout student bedrooms. Offering both high quality and long-lasting durability, Supacord is the UK’s best selling fibre bonded carpet and carpet tile and is ideal for areas of tough wear and tear such as student accommodation.
Heckmondwike FB has a wide ranging portfolio of carpets and carpet tiles for use in the education industry – from classrooms, corridors and entrances in schools to colleges, universities and other establishments. These collections offer several features including noise reduction, the ability to meet flammability tests, as well as anti-static and anti-slip properties.
