Plastor in the heart of the Grande Halle du Wip in Colombelles in Normandy

Carried out with concern for environmental quality standards, the renovation of this industrial heritage building mainly incorporates concrete and wood, with 1.600 m2 of parquet flooring as well as 6 staircases of 40 steps sanded and glazed by the company Les Sens du Bois.

Partners for more than 10 years with Plastor, Nicolas TAVARES and Franck JEUFFRAULT, managers of the company specializing in the renovation and vitrification of parquet floors and stairs, used Plastor products to carry out the finishes for this project.

“We arrived on this site thanks to the recommendation of the Gouelle menuiserie company in Sartilly (50), which won the call for tenders and installed the floors. Our company carried out the sanding and vitrification, so all the finishes on traditional Douglas parquet floors as well as on plywood panels with a layer of solid white pine. We also had to varnish the rails of the railings of the stairs to protect them.

The renovation of this industrial building required compliance with environmental quality standards, hence the importance of choosing low-emissivity products. For the same reason, it was decided that the posts and below the visible corridors would remain raw. Choosing the most natural aspects made it possible to reduce the sources of emissions.

We had to meet deadlines with the usual complexity, by organizing our work areas as best as possible so that all the other craftsmen and trades could move forward quickly. To do this, we mobilized our entire team, namely 5 people. Sometimes my father and one of his colleagues joined us, we were then 7. We managed to achieve the finishes in two weeks of work in all.

As it was new parquet, the material was quite pleasant to work with. Thanks to Plastor products, the quality of which we have appreciated for 12 years now, we have been able to easily assess working time in the most precise way possible.

To meet the prerequisites for very limited VOC emissions, we have chosen to use Aquanat oil, very low in solvent emissivity with only 25 g of VOC / L. To harden the layer of these fairly thin products, we opted for DUOPUR-T3 mat, compatible with Aquanat oil, which had been validated by Plastor's technical service. The follow-up and the relationship that we maintain with the Plastor teams have a lot to do with our success. "
