Floorcovering for Newquay Airport
Newquay Airport is becoming increasingly busy at a rapid rate. Heavier traffic demanded a harder working floorcovering. Only Flotex could meet all of the airport’s criteria. Durable, easy to clean and eye-catching, it was the perfect choice for the airport’s redesign in June 2000.
Mike McLeod from Steen-Mitchell was already aware of Flotex’s hard wearing and stain-resistant qualities. He further explained: it comes in a range of colours and can be cut into different shapes. This meant we could create the effect of a path leading from the entrance to the check-in desks using different colours to fit our seaside theme. Airport manager, Gary Smith, commented on the installation: Installing Flotex has made a big difference to the look and feel of the airport. It’s far brighter than the previous black rubber studded flooring and also reduces the noise levels in the building. With an increasing amount of passengers going through the airport annually, our floorcovering needs to look good and be easy to clean. Flotex presented the perfect option. Flotex is the only textile floorcovering approved by the British Allergy Foundation as having a positive impact on the lives of allergy sufferers. It reduces the risk of anyone experiencing an asthma attack or other allergic reaction.
