Winner of the British Homes Award in 2011, Wells Mackereth Architects, specified Lazenby. The interior design of this new home “employing the best of British craftsmanship” features Lazenby’s superior quality polished concrete floors, cast in-situ concrete worktop and two flights of concrete stair treads.Project detail
Throughout this old industrial building we installed 150m² between ground floor & lower ground floors during the refurbishment this building was transformed in to a stunning one bedroom apartment. 100mm of Lazenby‘s Cream Buff polished concrete flooring was expertly installed. The concrete mix used was C28/35 and meets BS 8500-2 standards and was laid over underfloor heating. The expansion joint plan was comprehensive because it involved many other flooring materials, multiple levels, electrical boxes and floor lights.
The 5m x 1m worktop was masterfully cast in-situ. The interior design involved multiple trades and was a very busy site. Care was taken to keep a clean and clear working area. Pouring was carefully managed to maintain good relationships with neighbours.
The cast in-situ concrete stair treads were installed by Lazenby master craftsmen. The treads were poured on site in to a pre-fabricated steel frame, each tread was troweled by hand to achieve a similar mottled variation to that which can be found in our floors.
