Application: FPA-Floor Problem Areas (FPA)
Substrate: Stone
Customer Location: College, Oxford, UK
Application Date: September 2011

Belzona® 4131 (Magma Screed)
Problem: The steps had worn badly over the last few hundred years. The main contractor had to find a product that they could apply in the evening shift so the staircases could be re-opened ready for the busy work force in the morning to carry on with the rest of the project. The contractor only had six weeks to complete the total College refurbishment.
