Quantum Flooring Case Study
Flooring Contractor - Mick Shea Flooring
End User - Bradley Hall Golf Club
Challenge
Prestigious Bradley Hall Golf is located over 60 areas of picturesque parkland in central Yorkshire. Golf was first played here in 1906 and considerable investment was spent converting the old house into an outstanding club house.
Recently the golf club had a major building upgrade but still retained the quality that had been set up all those years ago. As part of this refurbishment the central entrance of the golf club required an impressive eye catching finish to their mature style Victorian staircase with a unique large Bullnose curved bottom step.
Solution
After visiting the golf club and discussing with the client the requested brass finishing proved too costly, however Specialist gold anodising still managed to provide a premium decorative finish for the golf club staircase, as well as making the staircase extremely durable and long lasting for heavy footfall.
Quantum Flooring and the flooring contractor worked closely with the customer to provide a perfect alternative in the form of the HB157 Heavy Duty Stair Nosing range. The HB157 Stair Nosing profile is an extremely stylish brass effect Stair Nosing with a slip resistant tread material that makes the steps safer and accommodates for heavy foot traffic conditions. HB157 has a higher gauge between 4-7mm enabling the Floor Nosings to be well adapted to fit with various textured floor coverings, which protects the step edge and flooring material.
The Stair Nosing was installed using the specialist ‘Secret Fixing’ method. This was chosen to hide the screw heads and reduce the risk of dirt traps forming.
This cost effective and aesthetically pleasing Stair Nosing solution was quick and easy to install in order to keep disruption levels to a minimum within the working environment of the golf club.

Stair Nosing For School Buildings
CHALLENGE
The Vyne Community School
is a co-educational, specialist school for the performing arts based in
Basingstoke. As part of a major refurbishment project, the client required a
durable and hard wearing Stair Nosing that would meet the rigorous standards of
the school’s health and safety policy as well as current Building Regulations.
The Stair Nosings would also need to be easy to maintain and had to be fitted
quickly during a school holiday period.
SOLUTION
Q Range was perfectly suited to such high foot traffic
environments as it combines maximum durability with the highest standards of
safety through a unique edge to edge tread.
The school’s Head Teacher took great interest in Quantum
Floorings’ new Q Range of Stair Nosings as they offered a Building Regulations
best practice solution. They were available in the specific colour required as
well as meeting all the other key specifications for durability, maintenance
and tight delivery time scales.
Once the Q Range was selected, Quantum Flooring’s free
measuring service, QSMS, was used to measure each step individually. Once
complete each step measurement was sent directly to the Quantum Flooring in
Oldham for cutting. Meaning within two days each step was delivered individually
labelled and ready for fitting on site.
To help with speeding up the fitting process of
installation, Flooring Contractor Just Floors also choose Quantum Floorings no
screw fitting system, reducing time on site whilst still delivering a high
quality installation.
Furthermore no drilling was required
into the solid Terrazzo floor and there were no pipes in the completed flooring.
Ultimately selecting Quantum Flooring
products helped Vyne Community School save money, time and waste.
