TFSS saw F Ball celebrate 140 years
F Ball’s participation at The Flooring Show South as a launch partner saw it showcase the latest advancements in subfloor preparation products and adhesives for floors.
These include the latest addition to F Ball’s range of smoothing compounds: Stopgap 1400. The high-flow, fast-setting, two-component smoothing compound was created to offer superior self-smoothing properties and is walk-on hard from just 90 minutes after application and ready to receive flooring from 12 hours.
The company also celebrated its 140th anniversary. It was founded in 1886 and has remained an independent, family-run business ever since. Visitors to the F Ball stand
had the opportunity to watch live demonstrations featuring Styccobond adhesives and Stopgap subfloor preparation products and win a range of prizes, including a weekend breakaway.
Retailers and contractors also had the opportunity to sign up to the Ball Rewards
loyalty programme, which enables them to claim cashback each time they purchase
F Ball products, as well as a range of exclusive benefits such as the chance to enter regular competitions and earn extra cashback on promotional products.
‘The Flooring Show South enabled us to strengthen relationships with a wider audience of industry decision-makers, including retailers, contractors and specifiers, and attendance figures were very strong, with more than 1,400 visitors to the show on the
first day alone, so we’re pleased to be launch partners for the event. We’d like to thank everyone who took the time to come and see us,’ says Karl Brannigan, F Ball sales director.
