Why do all these associations insist on cheating with their acronyms? I can see where FeRFA get the RFA from. Resin Flooring Association. But what's the Fe all about? Maybe they're just fans of early Talking Heads. Ferfa ferfa fa ferfa fa fa fa.
It's extraordinary to imagine that FeRFA is the only organisation dedicated to resin flooring. You'd think there'd be dozens. Considering their unique status, they must get lots of people taking them up on their offer of of "free advice on all aspects of Resin Flooring, including specification and problem solving", so it's understandable that to try to improve service, they'd have a Frequently Asked Questions page.
I wonder how frequently they're asked some of these questions.
Q4. I have just had a PU screed installed and noticed that the flint aggregate is becoming more visible.Just how many people are installing PU screeds and noticing that the flint aggregate is becoming more noticeable and then contacting FeRFA for advice? That seems like quite a specific question. Much more so than "Do I need a primer?".
If you are planning to install a resin floor, FeRFA provide a simple guide to the different types available and how suitable each type is for differing levels of usage. Floor seal seems RUBBISH. Even with just light duty usage, it only lasts 1-2 years, it's liable to impact damage, osmosis may occur, it's not that easy to clean, it's not suitable for food processing areas, it's easy to slip on and looks like it creates a bit of static. Fuck floor seal, it's an idiot.
Some of the floors on the gallery pages look lovely though. Like this from Ryebrook Resin:
I also like this all-in-one, wrapped wall/floor effect from Altro:
I hope the ceiling has the same finish too. That mirror frame looks a bit out of place though.
And there's something deeply beautiful about this picture:

Did you know that all photos of flooring and paving are taken by the same photographer? Incredibly he is just 1'6", but has used this fact and access to a special super-wide angle camera to capture the glorious plains of surface finish in all their glory. See www.charcon.com for more examples of his fine work.
Shame he never gets the credit he deserves. A truly selfless artist.
