The Nantgarw student Campus is part of Coleg y Cymoedd (College of the Valleys) in Wales. When the campus required a fast refurbishment of their library, they turned to international flooring specialist Gerflor to supply Gradus carpets.
This successful renovation resulted in the specification of a vast selection of other Gerflor products for other areas of the campus. The project amounted to an immense 5300m2 of Gerflor products being specified.
Tony Thorne, Specification Manager, Gerflor South Wales, said: “The end user was so pleased with the final result they chose to work with Gerflor and Carpet Services for other areas of the refurbishment programme across the entire campus.”
Cardiff’s Carpet Services Flooring was responsible for installation. Contract Manager Ray Gallivan said: “The Gerflor flooring products that were specified for this iconic project are really meeting the high standards required for the end user. The final result at the college is extremely impressive.”
The design and specification of the Nantgarw Sports Centre of Excellence would fall to Cardiff-based architects Austin-Smith: Lord. Jonanthan Jones, Associate at Austin- Smith: Lord commented: “The Gerflor flooring products specified are absolutely meeting the high specifications set for the education project and client’s brief.”
