AREA: STUDENT CENTRE
PRODUCTS USED: • STONCLAD GS
• STONKOTE GS4
Officially opened in September 1987, Wyckham House is the student centre for Mount Royal College, owned and operated by the students. An expansion project was planned to provide more space and services to its student membership. THE CHALLENGE The architect on the Wyckham House project was looking for a flooring solution with a unique aesthetic appeal. 7 custom colours and decorative saw cuts were essential for this large project to complete the desired look. The floor also required excellent UV protection as there were numerous large windows in this facility which allowed for lots of natural light.
• STONSEAL GS7 FLAT THE STONHARD SOLUTION Due to the size, 14,000 square feet, and visual aspects of this project, the Stonhard Team developed a custom solution selecting Stonclad GS, with 3 coats of Stonkote GS4 and 2 coats of Stonseal GS7, clear flat. Stonclad GS, in Beechwood, was used to complement the 7 custom brown colours. The use of decorative saw cuts allowed for a dark brown border to appear. The coating system, Stonkote GS4 and Stonseal GS7, was then applied. Because Stonseal GS7 is flat it hides any imperfections, unlike a high gloss floor. Also, GS7 exhibits excellent UV protection. Overall, the architect was pleased with the finished product as it met their very specific aesthetic and performance requirements.
