Flooring for the Excalibur Ship in Holyhead

From lighthouses to hospitals and now flooring for a ship! The types of projects Oakwill work on can be very varied, and this one was no exception. The Oakwill team recently installed some vinyl flooring to The Fugro, Excalibur Ship which was docked in Holyhead.

Excalibur takes the crown as the biggest jack-up barge in Fugro's lineup, proudly meeting Germanischer Lloyd standards. Sporting eight legs, it can comfortably handle water depths up to 40 meters. It's been a go-to for setting up foundations in offshore wind farm projects and, another bonus, it even has an integral foundation drilling unit.

We were awarded the project by the fantastic Mod Pods Of Conwy and had the task of installing Vinyl flooring to their storage room.

The first task was to fill and smooth the ply joints using Ardex Feather Finish to get a perfect subfloor ready to install the Vinyl flooring. Once completed we then fitted Altro Walkway in the colour of ‘Streetlight’ - a great hard wearing and bright flooring perfect for a busy ship!

Flooring For The Blind Veterans UK Wellbeing Centre in Llandudno

Oakwill had the pleasure fitting sheet vinyl in the Blind Veterans UK Centre in Llandudno in their canteen. This type of flooring is perfect for a canteen as it is Easy to clean.

Blind Veterans UK support anyone who has served in the Armed Forces, or who has done National Service, and who is now living with significant sight loss.

This charity provide veterans with rehabilitation, training, practical advice and emotional support.

Blind Veterans UK help to combat isolation, helping veterans feel like they are not alone!

For this project we uplifted the old floor, applied Mapei Latexplan Trade to the subfloor, when dried we buffed the floor to smooth and lay a Polysafe wood FX vinyl sheet . This was stuck to the subfloor using Fball F44 glue.

This type of Polysafe flooring is:

• Natural looking

• Easy to clean

• Water resistant

• Stain resistent

• Comfortable

• Durable

• Low maintenance

Blind Veterans UK provide the rehabilitation, training, practical advice and emotional support to ensure veterans can learn the skills they need to regain their independence and live the life they choose.

It was an honour for the Oakwill team to fit this flooring into the Blind Veterans UK Centre in Llandudno and we are thrilled to have completed this project!
