F. Ball and Co. Ltd. will be exhibiting at Cruise Ships Interiors Expo Europe which takes place at London Excel from 2-3 December 2020. The company will be demonstrating its range of market-leading flooring adhesives and floor levelling compounds, which are essential in optimising the aesthetic appearance of installed floorcoverings on cruise ships and maintaining the integrity of the installation throughout its working life.
F. Ball’s marine-certified products include specialised adhesives for installing carpet, vinyl and rubber floorcoverings, and high-performance levelling compounds to create a super smooth, sound subfloor onto which a floorcovering can be installed.
The company’s marine products have been used to install flooring in some of the world’s most prestigious cruise ships and Mediterranean super yachts, as well as polar exploration vessels, New Orleans paddle steamers showboats, and offshore oil rigs.
Amongst the key products for marine applications are Stopgap 700 Superflex and Stopgap 1200 Pro levelling compounds, which are recommended for substrates subject to flexing or movement with temperature changes such as steel decking, and Styccobond F49 Hybrid PS temperature tolerant vinyl adhesive, which is able to withstand extreme changes in temperature, from -20°C to +60°C, and is resistant to water.
