2017
Greater Manchester, United Kingdom

Ferrari has garnered over 5,000 victories on the world’s tracks and roads, becoming a modern-day legend in the process. A Ferrari garage in Greater Manchester (UK) contains a hive of engineering expertise for the repair and maintenance of some of the world’s most exclusive cars. It comes as no surprise that the vehicle workshop was searching for a durable, high-gloss floor to protect the high powered, high-specification machines it services.

Project Requirements

For the refurbishment of the workshop’s 700m² floor, following requirements were specified:

  • It was vital the new a durable, high-gloss floor system contained hard-wearing, non-slip properties, whilst offering a smooth, seamless finish to benefit mechanics and exquisite motors alike.
  • The garage remained closed whilst the floor refurbishment was carried out. It meant contractors had a strict seven-day deadline to complete the project and ensure the business reopened on the agreed date.
