TREMCO WINS IN HEALTHCARE - CARE HOMES CATEGORY AT THE CFJ AWARDS 2023 Tremco, a brand of Tremco CPG UK, won in the Healthcare - Care Homes Category alongside Beveridge Flooring Ltd and Danfloor UK at the CFJ Awards 2023. The CFJ Awards, an annual celebration of excellence within the flooring industry, honours outstanding achievements from the past year. The award-winning project harnessed the power of Tremco’s full system solution where three Tremco products ES100 Damp-Proof Membrane, CS190 Gritty Primer and SX300-NA Smoothing Compound were applied. Tremco’s ES100 has been developed specifically for suppressing residual moisture in concrete and sand/cement subfloors. Its single-coat liquid application guarantees a reliable surface damp-proof membrane, echoing our position as the original founders of damp-proof membranes. The project also benefitted from Tremco’s CS190 Gritty Primer which provides a textured surface, giving an excellent bonding surface for selflevelling/smoothing compounds and screeds. The smoothing compound which formed part of this system is SX300-NA which is a is a two-part general purpose smoothing underlayment designed for interior applications. Characterised by its rapid setting and curing time, SX300-NA enables fast track programmes, minimising disruptions. www.tremco-europe.com/en-gb
