Tremco’s Flooring Solution Supports Crisis Skylight Croydon Refurbishment

The Project

Crisis Skylight Croydon undertook a refurbishment project to transform its ground floor into a dynamic and multi-purpose space for the local community. The aim was to create dedicated areas for a podcast radio station, arts & crafts workshops, and yoga sessions, providing vital resources for those experiencing homelessness.

To ensure the flooring met the specific demands of these varied activities, Tremco was selected to supply a high-performance flooring solution. Durability, ease of application, and installation efficiency were key considerations, leading to the specification of SX600-NA Smoothing Compound and SF200 Carpet Tile Adhesive as the ideal system for the project.

The Tremco System Solution- Application 

Understanding the need for a reliable, fully compatible flooring system, Ajax Flooring Ltd turned to Tremco for both its high-quality products and technical support. Given the challenging site conditions—including residual old adhesive from previous flooring—Ajax Flooring selected the SX600-NA Smoothing Compound and SF200 Carpet Tile Adhesive. 

The installation process involved:

Tremco SX600NA High-Performance Smoothing Compound – Chosen for its excellent flow properties and rapid curing time, enabling a smooth, even surface while minimising downtime.

Tremco SF200 Carpet Tile Adhesive – Applied over the smoothing compound to create a secure, durable bond for the carpet tiles, ensuring long-term performance.

 The Solution 

The use of Tremco’s flooring system provided significant advantages for the refurbishment project, including:

- Time Efficiency – The rapid setting of SX600NA allowed the flooring to be completed within the tight two-week timeframe.
  - High Performance – The system ensured a robust, even, and reliable subfloor, enhancing the longevity of the finished flooring.
  - Cost Efficiency – With subsidised screed and complimentary adhesive, the project achieved substantial cost savings.

Beyond this specific refurbishment, Tremco’s involvement showcased the effectiveness of its subfloor preparation products, reinforcing its suitability for future projects within the charity and community sectors. The versatility of Tremco’s flooring solutions means they can be adapted to various applications, ensuring high performance across different environments.
