Thanks so much to @talsouthafrica and the Building

Thanks so much to @talsouthafrica and the Building Centre for last night's architect CPD presentation on the value of an integrated floor levelling system. It was a full house! And thank you to Matthew Medhurst for sharing his extensive experience on how to do it right and what could go wrong if you don't. Some of those case studies were jaw dropping!

If you are keen to learn more, keep your eyes on our social posts as we share key takeaway content with you over the next few weeks.

Thanks so much to the Moso Africa team for sharing

Thanks so much to the Moso Africa team for sharing one of theirof their projects with us. And well done to Mark Coetzee and Custom Decks & Walkways, George, for this installation.

In this Garden Route project, the client and landscape architect wanted something natural for this outdoor project that would indeed grey out, yet it also had to be something sustainable and particularly stable. The landscape architect incorporated a lot of flowing, complex curves, and Moso's bamboo decking was the only decking product that would allow for the architect’s vision of these flowing, curved walkways and deck surfaces to be created AND to be stable over time.

The images indicate the project after more than one year and you can see that those curves are still perfect with no lifting of the planks and no planks out of place. Moso Bamboo X-treme delivered an exceptional result that continues to meet the brief for which it has truly delivered, especially considering our gruelling outdoor climate.

ATTENTION ARCHITECTS IN CAPE TOWN! Next week Thurs

ATTENTION ARCHITECTS IN CAPE TOWN! Next week Thursday (24 Nov) at the Building Centre, TAL will be hosting a CPD event entitled 'A Systemic Foundation in Subfloor Preparation'. Not to be missed, and here's why...

When it comes to the installation of beautiful floors that stay beautiful, the quality and preparation of the subfloor is paramount. The root cause of flooring failures is frequently found in the subfloor itself. Issues such as screed delamination or disintegration and water/moisture ingress will ultimately radiate upwards and impact on the final floor finish. Yet this does not have to happen.

In this session of the flooring ‘Stay Ahead of the Curve’ CPD series, join Matthew Medhurst from Tal South Africa for this deep dive into the critical success factors for floor levelling and preparation processes. Matthew will also share his technical insights on how to discern what is really going on (and wrong) with floor preparation, and what you can do about it.

If you enjoyed Matthew’s brief introduction to floor levelling in the August CPD session, then this more detailed exploration will add even more value and technical know-how. Touch points will include:
✅ Site and floor assessment, including quick checks, inspection tools, moisture readings and overall floor quality checkpoints.
✅ Typical problems found on site and what they might mean or the bigger issues they might be symptomatic of.
✅ Dealing with one of the biggest challenges in your subfloor – moisture – and how to plan for its impact.
✅ Remedial strategies when things don’t go according to plan, or the subfloor is not ideal to begin with.
✅ The benefits of using an integrated, floor-levelling system and the critical outcomes for each step in that system, including surface preparation, the moisture barrier, the primer, self-leveller or screed, and adhesives when applicable.

If you have ever popped down to see us at the Work

If you have ever popped down to see us at the Workshop Studio, you will know that adjacent to the Studio and the CPD presentation area is a beautiful Parky installation at the Daikin stand. So we had fun today checking out what this floor would look like in the Pro 6 Premium range, in the Umber Oak and Desert Oak colours, currently both on November specials.

Parky is a multi-layer parquet that combines the warmth and unique design of real wood with the advantages of laminate. Parky is as easy to install and maintain as laminate flooring. Yet there is a big difference: the top layer of Parky is real wood and not an imitation print as with laminate. What you see and what you feel is natural wood. There are no two identical trees and therefore each board is unique. The Titanium finished wood in combination with a core out of high-density fibre board (HDF), makes your floor stronger and more dimensionally stable than any traditional solid or engineered wooden floor. Plus, the Parky board has a waterproof surface. The combination with the Aqua Sealing Complete system, which protects the bevels, gives you a 12-hour waterproof floor.

So come pop in. Grab your Vida coffee on the way in and come see this for yourself, or visit https://www.par-ky.com/ to play with their visualiser. @[17841405317252618:@alcoexotic]

It's so exciting to formally welcome Tal as a part

It's so exciting to formally welcome Tal as a partner at the Flooring Workshop Studio. We encourage you to come to the Studio and check out the Tal demo booth, where we showcase their Floor Levelling System for outstanding floor and moisture preparation.

Every week we hear of horror stories of failed floors, which most often arise because the minimum requirements for correct floor preparation have not been understood and applied. Matthew Medhurst from #talsouthafrica joined us as a panelist on this very topic at our Moisture Workshop in August. And we look forward to bringing you even more valuable content on this multi-stage levelling approach so that we can FINALLY shift the needle on floor preparation excellence in our industry.

It's been just over a month since we held our first panel-led Flooring Moisture Workshop and we are planning our events for the New Year! Bartho from Vintage Projects, who attended, popped into the Workshop Studio this week to collect his order of Flooring Moisture Guides, officially now all gone.

Bartho had this to say about the Moisture Workshop: "The Workshop is a great vehicle to educate and share information and setting industry standards – we would most definitely support more of these. The guide is a great tool to go back to our staff – do a recap and training session to make sure we can transfer new info and train staff to speak the same language – well done!" Thank you Bartho for your huge support and commitment to excellence for your clients. @vintageprojectssa

And of course, thank you to our partners for another great month - in support of Flooring Africa, and for championing the cause of flooring excellence for our industry. #PlankSquad

Last month we co-hosted a great CPD architects eve

Last month we co-hosted a great CPD architects event with @finfloorsa and TAL focusing on vinyl flooring, and the differences between SPC, or floating vinyl, and glue down vinyls.

Playing on the theme of the 'Vinyl Showdown', Jesse Page from Finfloor stepped up to lay down the gauntlet for SPC, while Barry joined the duel on behalf of glue down vinyl. Our sheriff, Matthew Medhurst from Tal, brought us back to the middle ground - how essential substrate prep is for all vinyl-based floor types, and where specifics may differ.

Thanks to Finfloor, Tal, and all speakers for a great evening, plus the excellent hosting from the Building Centre.
