Concrete Floor Tiles Installation – Royal Academy of Dance

Project: We manufactured and installed 600m2 precast GRC concrete Square Floor Tiles at the new global headquarters of the Royal Academy of Dance in London.

Client: Takero Shinazaki Architects

Location: London

Materials used: Large 1000x1000mm Square Plain Floor tiles in Hazelnut colour and two finishes: Anti-slip Sandblast and Silk. Large 1000x1000mm Square Plain Floor tiles in Silver colour and Silk finish.

Timescales: 8 weeks

Challenges: Large format tiles were cast and pre-cut with great precision to allow only final millimetre adjustments and eliminate any cutting on site.

Description

The project comprised of a large scale installation of Square GRC concrete floor tiles in two contrasting colours. Large Hazelnut tiles with Anti-slip Sandblast finish were laid around the main reception are. The remaining floor areas we resurfaced with Silver and Hazelnut tiles in Silk finish to emphasise the predominantly neutral colour palette of the interiors and the existing concrete structures which were left exposed.

The tiles were manufactured using our special GRC BTX concrete, which is lighter and stronger than traditional concrete. We used our unique eco concrete mix technology with a hydrophobic agent to limit moisture absorption and staining. The challenges for this project were working with such large tiles that were pre-cut and only allowed for minor adjustments on site but the project was completed to a high spec for the client.
