A bespoke floor finish from Flowcrete - made up of a creative blend of colour and texture - has been applied in just one weekend at Manchester Airport.

Flowcrete’s innovative Flowfast Terrosso - which is ready for use just hours after installation - has been applied across 2,500 square metres in the new £10 million Security Search Area of Terminal 1.

A special design has been created for the area, with an eye-catching blend of blues, silvers and even glitter built into the mix.

The design is not only visually appealing, its reflective qualities help lift illumination levels within the building.

Around 15,000 passengers go through Terminal 1’s Security Search Area each day, but the unique qualities of Flowfast Terrosso mean the floor’s stylish design and appeal withstand the high footfall levels.

Aedas Architects – Manchester Airport Group’s Framework Architects – oversaw the project and Flowcrete approved contractor Q Flooring – based in Altrincham – carried out the installation.

Tony Fleming of Aedas, said: “We wanted something completely different for the airport, in a style which had not been used before.

“When we were looking at the concept we went down to Flowcrete’s headquarters with Milligan’s, the Manchester Airport Design Team, to mix our own colours.

“It was a completely bespoke product and we would have struggled to get that level of choice and flexibility – together with speed of installation - from any other type of flooring.

“We are pleased with the end result and fits perfectly with Manchester Airport’s vision of a clean, simple and inviting environment for Terminal 1.”

Utilising the latest in resin technology, Flowfast Terrosso offers a floor finish that looks good and stands up to all the demands associated with floors for public spaces.

In most cases, it is ready to use just two hours after application, allowing other works to continue with minimal disruption.

The floor offers good slip-resistance, can withstand thermal shocks and impact, and is hardwearing. Its seamless finish also delivers an easy-clean finish that makes it easy to maintain.

These qualities, coupled with its decorative style – available in a wide-range of colours and styles – make it the ideal choice where an attractive floor needs to be installed quickly.

Flowcrete’s Alan Blay, director of Flowfast, said: “This installation shows just how creative resin flooring can be. The new floor looks superb and can withstand all the rigours of a busy airport environment.”

Graham Fenton, sales director of Q Flooring added: “This was a prestigious project that performed well both in terms of the speed of the programme and the style of the floor finish.”
