Kemtile, a division of Stonhard, has successfully completed a custom flooring installation for a top London art gallery.
The gallery, a specialist in art logistics the company covers everything from handling and installation to packing, crating, and shipping with sizeable fine art storage space across multiple locations.
Recognising the environmental impact of art logistics, the company is spearheading initiatives to waste less, recycle more, source sustainably, and use less energy.
It was looking for a flooring solution for its central London gallery that would use sustainably sourced materials, preserve the gallery’s elegant ambience, and be robust enough to withstand high footfall.
Akeel Ahmed, Business Development Manager at Kemtile, said: “The brief was for new flooring to mirror the gallery’s ambitions to be as sustainable as possible and support planet-first decision making across its business.
“We recommended was Stoncrete EFX in Clean Slate Stone – a decorative epoxy flooring made with quartz and recycled glass. It has the look and feel of micro terrazzo, combining aesthetic appeal with durability and performance.”
Stoncrete EFX has been specially developed for commercial spaces like school corridors, office spaces, retail and leisure outlets. It is also well-suited to industrial facility lobbies and corridors.
The product offers a more efficient installation process compared to traditional terrazzo. The flooring provides a similar finish – all the aesthetics you need – but is simpler to install and is an excellent, greener alternative to polished concrete.
Kemtile’s team installed 200m2 of Stoncrete EFX within four weeks, making sure there was minimal disruption to the gallery’s daily operations.
The job follows on from a similar floor installed at another gallery site for the same business in the US by Stonhard. Kemtile is a division of Stonhard.
Akeel again: “We are getting increased interest in products which include recycled glass elements, are easy to install and highly durable, to help meet sustainability goals across a range of environments.”
