Enhancing Safety and Functionality with COBA Flooring’s Solution for Liverpool One Shopping Centre
Max Proudlock, Sales Account Manager at COBA Flooring, was approached by Ian Cross from Advance Property Services regarding an urgent issue at one of their sites. The existing entrance matting was not only causing trip hazards due to lifting but was also ineffective in removing dirt and moisture from pedestrian foot traffic.
The existing matting, which had been in place for an extended period, posed significant safety concerns due to its deteriorated condition. Moreover, its inefficiency in maintaining a clean and safe environment further exacerbated the problem. Advance Property Services needed a prompt and effective solution to address these issues.
Recognising the urgency and importance of the situation, COBA Flooring provided a comprehensive solution tailored to Advance Property Services’ needs. The process began with a thorough site survey to assess the extent of the problem and identify specific requirements. It was evident that a complete overhaul of the entrance matting system was necessary.
Max recommended the Plan.a 17mm Needlepunch Closed Construction product, known for its durability, functionality, and ability to effectively trap dirt and moisture. However, the challenges extended beyond just replacing the matting. The subfloor required significant preparation work to ensure proper installation and functionality.
Rich and Ajay, experienced installers from COBA Flooring, were tasked with the project. They diligently worked out of hours over two consecutive nights to complete the installation process efficiently and minimise disruption to the site’s operations. Given the urgency of the situation and the critical need to address safety concerns promptly, their dedication and commitment were instrumental in achieving a successful outcome.
Thanks to COBA Flooring’s swift response and effective solution, Advance Property Services saw a significant improvement in safety and functionality at their site. The new entrance matting not only eliminated trip hazards but also enhanced the site’s aesthetics and cleanliness. With its superior performance in trapping dirt and moisture, the Plan a 17mm Needlepunch Closed Construction product provided long-term benefits, contributing to a safer and more comfortable environment for pedestrian foot traffic.
