Specialist industrial flooring
Employing more than 12,000 people on five continents, Cobham is one of the oldest and most respected brands in the defence and aerospace industry.
Having used Ecotile flooring for its original UK facility, Cobham recruited the specialist flooring manufacturer again to support the development of a new high-technology facility.
As part of the brief, the tiles needed to be laid over a concrete floor – that had not been cured – and the floor needed to be ready to use immediately. The clean, loose lay of Ecotiles meant that the installation process was fast and simple with minimal downtime. Coloured tiles and logos were also used to accurately identified production areas, walkways and safe zones.
Ecotile MD James Gedye said: “Working closely with Cobham, we identified the Ecotile 6mm tile as the most appropriate solution to our client’s flooring challenges. Our hidden joint system – with push fit seam and bevelled edge – offers optimal protection against water ingress, providing protection to the surface underneath.”
Ecotile ESD floor tiles were used as a specialist anti-static solution, as they maintain their conductivity after a prolonged period of use and are easy to maintain.
