A.D. Broughton, Chichester

Project Overview

A.D. Broughton is a well-established company in the plumbing and heating industry, renowned for its commitment to the latest renewable technologies, serving both residential and commercial sectors.

The objective of this project was to provide A.D. Broughton with a flooring solution that enhanced the aesthetic of their office and staircase areas, while also meeting the demands of high foot traffic. The goal was to deliver a product that combined style durability, and safety, particularly in the staircase area, ensuring a professional and welcoming atmosphere while accommodating the business’s daily operations.

Supacord sheet carpet in Indigo was selected as the solution. This product provided the perfect combination of durability, aesthetic appeal, and low-maintenance features to meet the needs of both the office and staircase environments.

Challenge

A.D. Broughton required a flooring solution for their office that was both sleek and durable, while the staircase demanded a solution with a focus on safety and slip resistance due to its high-use nature.

Solution

After evaluating various flooring options, A.D. Broughton Ltd chose Supacord sheet flooring in Indigo, from Heckmondwike.

Office Area: The rich Indigo colour of Supacord added a modern and professional aesthetic to the office. The smooth, seamless finish of the sheet flooring helped create a clean, sleek look while providing a comfortable and durable surface for high-traffic office spaces.

Staircase Area: Supacord sheet flooring’s durability and slip-resistant properties made it the ideal solution for the staircase, reducing the risk of slips and falls while maintaining an elegant, cohesive look throughout the building.

Results

The installation of Supacord resulted in:

Enhanced Durability: Supacord flooring is built to last, withstanding the rigors of high-traffic areas without showing signs of wear. This ensures the office and staircase areas maintain their professional look for years, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Improved Safety on Stairs: The anti-slip properties of Supacord have enhanced safety for employees and visitors moving between floors. The non-slip surface reduces the risk of accidents, making it a practical and secure option for busy areas.

Aesthetic Transformation: The deep Indigo colour added a sophisticated, modern touch, aligning with A.D. Broughton’s professional image. With white walls and plenty of windows already in place, the businesses opted for a dark carpet with a low LRV, contributing to a more subdued atmosphere ideal for fostering focus. The contrast between the rich Indigo carpet and the white walls not only created a clean, sleek look but also helped visually expand the space while preventing excess brightness, which could lead to eye strain.

Enhanced Acoustic Quality: Supacord helps absorb sound, making the office environment quieter and more conducive to focus and productivity. For an additional layer of sound insulation, Supacord is available with an acoustic backing, further enhancing noise reduction and creating a more comfortable and productive workspace.

Low Maintenance: The flooring’s durability and ease of cleaning reduced the time and effort needed to maintain the office and staircase areas. Regular vacuuming and spot cleaning kept the floors looking pristine without the need for frequent professional maintenance.

Long-Lasting and Sustainable: The long-lasting nature of the material ensures that it doesn’t need to be replaced as often, helping to reduce waste and the environmental impact associated with frequent flooring changes.

Conclusion

The project successfully provided A.D. Broughton with a flooring solution that combined durability, safety, and aesthetics. The Supacord sheet carpet, in Indigo, was installed in both the office and staircase areas, enhancing the overall aesthetic while meeting the functional needs of high-traffic environments. Supacord’s ease of maintenance, slip-resistant properties, and professional appearance contributed to a safer, more comfortable workspace from employees and visitors alike.
