ROBUST flooring able to withstand heavy footfall has been laid in one of Cumbria's latest tourist attractions.
The ambitious Windermere Jetty Museum of Boats, Steam and Stories, due to open later this year, has had complex flooring installed by Aggregate Industries' expert concrete division.
Windermere Jetty was commissioned by arts and heritage association Lakeland Arts on the site of the original Windermere Steamboat Museum.
The world class museum houses a collection of over 50 vessels of historic boats telling the story of boating on Windermere from 1780 to the present day.
Lead contractor Thomas Armstrong Construction was tasked with providing a consistently dust-free and durable surface flooring finish with no cracks to the museum’s extensive exhibition halls.
It awarded the contract to Aggregate Industries, which oversaw the entire flooring specification working with a design consultant to lay high performance Diamondcrete concerte slabs.
Neil Cochrane, specification manager at Aggregate Industries, said: “As a market leader, we have a raft of high performance concrete solutions at our disposal."
