F. Ball Showcases Innovations at The Flooring Show

F. Ball Showcases Innovations at The Flooring Show

F. Ball and Co. Ltd. will use this year’s Flooring Show to showcase its latest innovations in flooring installation products, including recently launched fast-setting, high-flow smoothing compound: Stopgap 1400.

A two-component smoothing compound, with superior flow and self-smoothing properties, Stopgap 1400 is walk-on hard from just 90 minutes after application and ready to receive floorcoverings from 12 hours. This makes it ideal for where flooring contractors need to work quickly and efficiently, perhaps across multiple areas, including new-build developments.

Visitors to the F. Ball stand (B1) at The Flooring Show will be able to watch live demonstrations of Stopgap 1400 and other F. Ball products delivered by the company’s training department on the stand’s live demonstration area.

Also debuting at the show will be new designs for F. Ball’s iconic yellow buckets used for its Styccobond adhesives.

The new designs have been introduced to modernise the look of the plastic buckets and simplify product selection, in keeping with new smoothing compound sacks introduced last year. While they retain the instantly recognisable F. Ball branding and in addition, the buckets now detail coverage rates to help flooring contractors work out how much of an adhesive they need for a particular project. The empty buckets can also continue to be disposed of for recycling, for free, at locations participating in the F. Ball Recycling Scheme.

Representatives from the F. Ball marketing, sales and liaison teams will be on hand throughout the exhibition to answer any questions that visitors may have about F. Ball’s products and technical support, including free training courses delivered at the F. Ball Centre of Excellence in Staffordshire. Contractors attending the show can also find out how to become a member of the Ball Rewards loyalty programme, which entitles them to claim cashback each time they purchase F. Ball products, as well as a range of exclusive benefits, such as the opportunity to enter regular competitions and earn extra cashback on promotional products.

Delegates are invited to attend F. Ball’s popular drinks reception at the F. Ball stand on the Monday afternoon of the show.

F. Ball managing director Darren Kenyon said: “The Flooring Show is one of the most important events in our calendar, so we’re excited to be back and catching up with customers and seeing new faces. We’re also looking forward to sharing new developments to make flooring contractors’ lives easier, including our new smoothing compound, as well as refreshed designs for the yellow buckets, which help compare value with alternative products, especially where they are sold by weight rather than volume.”
