Oakwill Give Caernarfon Police Station A Flooring Upgrade

The Oakwill Flooring team have recently completed a substantial flooring project over in the picturesque town of Caernarfon. This time we had the pleasure of renewing the flooring in Caernarfon’s Police station.

The Oakwill Flooring team have recently completed a substantial flooring project over in the picturesque town of Caernarfon.

This time we had the pleasure of renewing the flooring in Caernarfon’s Police station. We were awarded the project by the fantastic TG Williams Builders and involved installing various kinds of flooring, stair nosings and also some prep work. The busy Police station which is situated on Maesincla Lane in the heart of Caernarfon was built in 2008, and it was now time for another refurb.

Firstly we had to prepare the floor for the vinyl areas - we applied Tremco DPM and then a Tremolo screed to the subfloor so it was perfectly smooth for the floor covering. For the ground floor entrance lobbies, store rooms and tea room we installed Marmoleum Real Top Shield in dove grey. We also fitted a Burmatex grimebuster matting in the entrance lobbies. Both products that look great and hardwearing for a very busy Police station!

For many of the corridors and offices we installed Navy Burmetex Infinity carpet tiles, which totalled 420m2. Again a hardwearing product and easy to clean. These tiles were also fitted in the Police station’s main reception area.

In all the changing rooms, toilets and in the main kitchen we fitted Forbo Safestep vinyl flooring in Smoke. A durable flooring that gave the areas a fresh and modern look, plus nice and easy to clean. Finally in the male and female shower rooms we installed a Forbo Safestep Vinyl flooring in an Aqua Reef Green. We also fitted Quantum nosings to all the stairs.

Oakwill Flooring have had the pleasure of undertaking projects in many interesting and important places over the years. Including, fire stations, hospitals, a lighthouse, and a ship to name a few. This latest installation at Caernarfon Police Station was another project that the Oakwill team was proud to have completed successfully!

We install quality flooring all over North Wales and the North West of England and beyond. If you have a flooring project in mind, no matter how big or small- please contact our friendly and professional team today.

Oakwill Flooring is currently working on 15 blocks of flats across Bangor, Blaenau, and Caernarfon, installing vinyl flooring with nosings in communal staircases and hallways. We were awarded the projects by the fantastic Bell Group!

Oakwill Flooring is currently working on 15 blocks of flats across Bangor, Blaenau, and Caernarfon, installing vinyl flooring with nosings in communal staircases and hallways. We were awarded the projects by the fantastic Bell Group!

One of the communal blocks in Bangor recently received a new safety vinyl flooring system. The stairs required ply boarding, and the ground floor quarry tiles needed a DPM and screed preparation.

Once the surfaces were prepared, Oakwill Flooring fitted Altro walkway vinyl in the colour "dolphin" with Genesis stair nosings with black inserts and yellow inserts on the top and bottom steps for safety.

Altro walkway vinyl is a durable and easy-to-maintain flooring solution that is ideal for high-traffic areas such as communal staircases and hallways. It is also slip-resistant, making it a safe choice!

Genesis stair nosings are designed to improve safety and reduce the risk of slips and trips. They are made from a durable material and feature a textured surface for added grip. The black and yellow inserts on the top and bottom steps provide additional visual cues to help users navigate the stairs safely.

Oakwill Flooring are a leading provider of commercial and domestic flooring solutions and operate across North Wales, North West England and beyond. We have a team of experienced and qualified fitters who can install a wide range of flooring products, including vinyl, carpet, wood and laminate.

High-Quality Solid Wood Flooring for Mochdre Village Hall, North Wales

Another busy month for the Oakwill Flooring team and this time we feature a project we have completed in Mochdre, North Wales. Putting new wood flooring into a room can really transform a space. This flooring project in Mochdre Village hall was no exception .

Another busy month for the Oakwill Flooring team and this time we feature a project we have completed in Mochdre, North Wales. Putting new wood flooring into a room can really transform a space. This flooring project in Mochdre Village hall was no exception . This time it was 150 square meters of beautiful solid oak boards which were pre finished with a hardwearing UV lacquered natural finish.

Old Damaged floor

Uplifting The Old Floor & Fixing The Subfloor

Uplifting the tired old flooring was our first big task, and like with any flooring project ensuring the sub floor is dry and structurally sound is a must. Firstly we had to repair the existing floorboards and when this was complete it was onto laying the underlay. To lay a solid wood floor it is crucial that the subfloor is not damp so to be extra sure we first laid a Serenity Underwood Stamina which is a rubber crumb underlay developed to enhance the performance of wood and laminate flooring by providing resilience, durability, moisture resistance, and superior impact sound insulation.

Fitting The Solid New Wood Floor

Then it was onto fitting the solid oak flooring. With the floor being laid on a cushioned underlay the floor was laid in a floating floor technique. A floating wood floor is a type of flooring installation method where the individual wood planks or boards are not directly attached to the subfloor or the floor beneath them. After setting out a line we began from one side of the room- We used Gorilla wood glue to fix the boards together on the tongue and grooves of the planks and clamped the first few rows to keep the boards nice and straight. Making sure all joints were together tightly and planks staggered we continued across the floor. We also allowed a 15mm expansion gap around the perimeter of the room to allow for expansion. I’m sure you’ll agree the final result was stunning!
