Flooring gets stamp of approval

John Bedi of the Royal Mail Group explains: "Our distribution centres are home to a significant number of our employees and their health and wellbeing is critical to us.

"The added-value safety features that we have been able to include as a result of our flooring choice have been outstanding. With Ecotile, we were able to develop colour-coded walkways and vehicle lanes as well as pedestrian crossings.  We have created safe-distance chevrons every 3m and installed yellow and black ramp sections in order to moderate vehicle speed.

"Furthermore, Ecotile floor tiles provide a very comfortable work surface underfoot, delaying the onset of worker fatigue. The acoustics within the building have also been significantly improved.

"In partnership with Ecotile, we have been able to significantly improve the safety of our teams and have enhanced their day to day working environment, as well as adding impact to our customer facing areas.”

Ecotile provides durable and safe flooring solutions that can be installed with minimal disruption in commercial and industrial applications around the world.

James Gedye, MD, Ecotile comments; "Our interlocking floor tiles are frequently chosen for flooring projects within warehousing and distribution centres as they offer some important benefits to this hard working sector. Working with the Royal Mail Group, we identified the Ecotile 7mm tile as the most appropriate solution to our client’s flooring challenges.

"We were able to quickly and efficiently install Ecotiles – without downtime – as the clean, loose lay of Ecotiles means that the installation process is fast and simple.  The floor can be installed without the need for a damp proof membrane, screed or adhesive – significantly reducing VOC emissions, installation time and cost."
