Fast drying floor finish for fast growing furnishing store
One of Britain's fastest growing home furnishing stores has chosen Betco Express, one of the fastest drying floor finishes, for its new showpiece Sussex store.
The retailer specified that the finishing touch before opening for trading, would be five coats of the Betco Express floor seal and shine system, which dries with a wet look shine and is ready to walk on in five minutes - a mere 15% of the time taken by some other systems.
Little did he know that when specifying Betco there would be a power cut on the night of its application. Operating on only two hours of emergency power, the technicians still had enough time to apply the five coats throughout the store. Betco says that the same number of applications of any other floor sealer/polish could not have been carried out and dried in only two hours.
Harry Jusindra, Area Manager for Britannia Services Group, the cleaning contractor said: "There is no way we could have closed the store the night before our first day's trading, just to allow a floor to dry. With Betco Express we simply coned off small areas at a time whilst store staff continued stocking shelves elsewhere. It was no inconvenience and I would recommend it to all other contractors."
The Sussex store covers 28,000 sq ft including a mezzanine retail area. The store has a range of man-made coverings including Vinyl and Amtico whose manufacturers have in the USA approved Betco Express as a sealer/polish for their products.
Harry said: "Compared with our previous floor treatments this has been an eye opening experience. We have now saved money on materials and a lot of time so our client is very happy. It was quicker to apply Betco Express than to machine clean the floor."
With five coats of Betco Express it is unlikely that the store will need any further attention for four to six months.
