Situated in the idyllic County of Rutland, Barnsdale Lodge Hotel has been featured in the Sunday Telegraph’s ‘Fifty of Britain’s Cosiest Hotels’ as a popular choice for short stays as well as a serene wedding/party venue.
Steeped in over 250 years of history, Barnsdale Lodge Hotel offers a taste of country living at its very best. Located in the heart of the rolling English countryside and surrounded by Rutland Water Reservoir, the hotel is a tranquil rural haven, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Offering exquisite culinary delights, ranging from a la carte dinner menus and afternoon teas, the executive head chef and team are busy and constantly on the move, so they needed a fully functional, hard-wearing non-slip floor.
Their existing quarry tiled floor needed an update and the client felt that the old non-slip floor wasn’t providing the level of resistance required. RESYN was asked by Managing Director, Ed Burrows, to come up with an ideal solution that would work for them.
As a popular hotel and wedding venue, the demands on the kitchen are high and therefore the client needed a non-slip floor product that would minimise the downtime of the staff, and cause as little disruption to them and their serving times. Following in-depth discussions, it was agreed that the installation would be undertaken over two back-to-back shifts meaning that the kitchen would only have to close for one day and one night. As part of the installation package, RESYN disconnected, removed and stored all kitchen equipment; reconnecting upon completion.
To maximise the non-slip floor functionality, the Degafloor FB system was chosen. The system which is a heavy-duty methyl methacrylate screed provides an outstanding non-slip floor finish, created through the broadcasting of quartz aggregate. It has been specifically designed for areas that are frequently exposed to liquids or other contaminants that cause a slippery surface making it ideal for a busy commercial kitchen environment.
The services and installation programme that were provided by RESYN meant that the client could relax safe in the knowledge that they would receive a new hygienic, non-slip floor for their commercial kitchen with only one day of closure to avoid disappointing their guests and frequent diners.
