With some of the UK’s largest housing associations recording increased annual spending on repairs and maintenance of which routine maintenance is the largest expenditure, there is a growing need for housing professionals to make cost savings whilst continuing to deliver excellent services to tenants.
To address the common issues of day-to-day repairs, planned works and unscheduled refurbishments, housing flooring specialist Gerflor has developed dedicated flooring solutions that embody unique technology to dramatically reduce remedial work, fast-track installation and drive down ‘on-floor’ costs, even contributing to longer product life cycle times and lower replacement budgets.
Gerflor invented Gerflor Fibre Technology (GFT) applying the innovation to its residential ≥36/R10 slip resistant floorings meeting HSE guidelines. GFT textile-backed floorings such as Griptex and Texline feature a unique stabilising, waterproof interlayer that in combination with GFT technology address many refurbishment and new build installation problems that housing professionals face.
