Alloc Commercial says its flooring now has a thicker and stronger high pressure laminate surface and an integral Silent System sound absorbent underlay. Alloc says the surface resists damp, diluted chemicals and cigarette burns and has been designed to endure heavier impacts. Alloc has also launched the new StoneStructure decor, which is designed to look like stone and comes in travertine, granite and slate versions.

Eco-friendly floor hits the high street
Clothing retailer H&M has specified Amtico's Stratica eco-polymeric flooring as part of its commitment to eliminate PVC from its stores. Amtico says that Stratica contains no plasticisers and so emits a very low level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It also requires no dressing or cleaning with caustic chemicals, thus minimising lifetime cost and environmental impact. H&M has chosen Stratica Oak and Stratica Limestone flooring for its 43 UK stores. Stratica flooring has a 10-year guarantee on its wear layer.

Treat concrete floors in one
Laybond has introduced ScreedMaster One Coat Membrane for power-floated concrete floors. The One Coat Membrane is applied by trowel or roller and is ready for overcoating after approximately eight hours at 200C. This enables the early laying of moisture sensitive floor coverings according to Laybond. One Coat Membrane is black, which Laybond says makes it easier to identify treated areas.

Quick-drying floor screed
CG Flooring Systems has launched a cementitious floor screed that can be laid at a rate of 1000 m2 a day and will take wheeled traffic within 24 hours of being laid. Fastfloor-IT is a water-based pump-applied material that CG says allows a large quantity to be laid in a short time. The fast curing time is a combination of special cements and acrylics. The company says the material contains no solvents and is odourless. The screed can be between 5 mm and 25 mm thick, and has self-smoothing properties. Before laying the screed, CG carries out the preparation work to BS8204 Part 3.
