Plastor products in the heart of the Grande Halle du Wip in Colombelles (14)

The building now consists of a large nave dedicated to events and shows and another, narrower nave, which houses coworking, meeting and rehearsal rooms, workshops and a bar-restaurant.

Carried out with due regard for environmental quality standards, the renovation of this industrial heritage building mainly incorporates concrete and wood, with 1 m600 of parquet flooring as well as six staircases of 2 steps sanded and varnished by the company Les Sens du Bois.

Partners with Plastor for over 10 years, Nicolas TAVARES and Franck JEUFFRAULT, managers of the company specializing in the renovation and vitrification of parquet floors and staircases, used Plastor products to carry out the finishing touches to this project.

« We arrived on this project thanks to the recommendation of the company Gouelle menuiserie in Sartilly (50) who won the tender and carried out the installation of the floors. Our company carried out the sanding and varnishing, therefore all the finishing 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 staircase railings to protect them.

The renovation of this industrial building required compliance with environmental quality standards, hence the importance of choosing low-emissivity products. With this same concern in mind, it was decided that the posts and undersides of the exposed corridors would remain unfinished. Choosing the most natural aspects made it possible to reduce emission sources.

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 the Plastor products, the quality of which we have appreciated for 12 years now, we have easily been able to assess working time in the most precise way possible.

To meet the requirements of 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 rather thin products, we opted for DUOPUR-T3 matt, compatible with Aquanat oil, which had been validated by Plastor's technical department. The monitoring and the relationship that we maintain with the Plastor teams are a major factor in our success »
