PROJECT OVERVIEW

Appointed by C. Erison Shop Fitters to deliver high-specification flooring at a premium US-based lifestyle and athleisure retailer’s flagship store in Covent Garden, London. This project followed several successful store installations for the same brand across the UK and Ireland.

The brief called for a seamless, durable floor finish to complement the brand’s clean, modern retail aesthetic and withstand high daily footfall.

Works included:

P Mechanical grinding to expose aggregate, followed by refining to remove scratches

P Precision edge preparation of all floor areas

P Priming with Weber 4716

P Rapid-set concrete repairs to the ground floor

P First-floor levelling and screeding using Weber 4150 at 4 mm over pinned board

P Application of Duracryl Biopolymer primer

P Installation of Durastone Biopolymer SL resin with broadcast aggregate

P Final Prefinish seal coat

CHALLENGES

The city-centre location presented logistical constraints, including limited site access, no on-site parking, and the need to work within a live fit-out environment. The programme was phased to maintain efficiency and ensure integration with other trades. Consistent subfloor levels were essential to achieving the required finish quality and long-term performance.

Mark Jackson, Sales Director – TPS360 (Tamworth) said ……

“We’re proud to continue our relationship with this client on the latest project in Covent Garden. The brand has a strong identity, and it’s important that the flooring reflects the same high standards. Our teams worked to a tight programme in a challenging central London location, delivering a seamless finish that enhances the overall store environment.”
