Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council see the Attraction® in Gerflor

The onus on local authorities and borough councils to provide affordable housing has never been greater. It’s a weighty responsibility and one that Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (Dudley MBC) take extremely seriously.

Affordable housing includes social rented, affordable rented and intermediate housing provided to specified eligible households whose needs are not met by the market. It can also be a new-build property for use as an affordable home. In making provision for the increased housing demand Dudley MBC, would as a matter of priority, require flooring refurbishments for several of their existing social housing schemes.

Press Release

Dudley MBC approached international flooring specialist Gerflor to supply 20m2 of their fast track GTI Attraction® in ‘Moheli’ for a trial area. The requirement was for a hard wearing, durable, and heavy traffic resistant flooring solution for their apartment block corridors that is easy to maintain and without the high maintenance costs. In addition, Dudley MBC wanted the flooring to be loose laid to keep sections of the area open and to minimise the time and cost of installation. Gerflor’s Attraction® range was hugely beneficial to Dudley MBC as it can be lifted individually tile by tile and replaced if damaged without lifting the entire floor. Dudley MBC also liked the convenience of the Attraction® product packaging for transportation and minimising the issues of their warehouse space.
