Protect Crete, Ardex
and Tuff Coat system used by Spotlight nation wide.
Protect Crete Australia’s Mr Terry Lucas has reported a success story
that has involved three leading manufacturers and a regional Contractor
with national retailer Spotlight. Protect Crete, Ardex and Tuff Coat
Australia are all securely placed on Spotlights strict and high quality,
high performance floors. Finer Floors Finishes originally based in
Shepparton, Victoria have been the catalyst in firming the Spotlight
specification. Ken Gash from Finer Floors explains “we have been one of
Spotlights contractors for years and have now been made consultants for
every floor Spotlight does. This includes site visits prior to start,
briefing the builders and contractors on the standard they must achieve
and the products and their best practice installation. Unfortunately 3
stores have recently been rejected and redone because of product
substitution or deletion, or incorrect installation. This specification
has been tried, tested and is successful because,” as Finer Floor
Finishes Director Danny Sommers says,” If you use best installation
practice, the best available moisture barrier by Protect Crete -
Underlayments by Ardex and the top of the tree polyurethane by Tuff
Coat, you can’t go wrong.” A lot of the floors are fast tracked to where
the Tuff Coat is installed as little as 14 days or less after the
concrete floor is poured. Tuff Coat’s Managing Director Steven Vak said,
”Tuff Coat has extensively tested their products over Protect Crete
Densi-Proof with total success and highly recommend Protect Crete
Densi-Proof systems. Where floor levelling is required, Ardex products
are used with confidence. As a manufacturer I have peace of mind that my
coating is sitting on top of two industry best products.” Spotlight plan
to open 32 new stores in the coming 18 months.
