The finished floor
A challenging installation to replace half of a floor to a strict deadline.
Half of Studio 1 had a conventional floor and half had a glass floor. The glass floor had limitations and a decision was made to replace this half of the floor with a fully functional studio floor.With new productions coming to the studio, BT Sport required a studio floor to meet the forth coming camera tracking and loading demands.
We installed:
- A bonded industrial strength sand cement screed with A38 rapid dry technology to 55 mm. BRE Category A-B using 4 kg Drop Hammer Test.
- The Elgood Universal Television Studio Floor System 30mm
The overall thickness was approximately 80-85mm.
From the initial site visits through to completion, Elgood Industrial Flooring managed all aspects of the installation and logistics.
The Floor was prepared using vacuum contained shot-blasting.
The floor provides optimum camera pedestal performance.
The floor is perfect for Multi Camera use. A camera can be used anywhere on the floor making it ideal for multiple sets.
The floor is free of undulations, inclines and surface irregularities. These details are of no consequence on most floors, but totally unacceptable in a modern HD television studio.
Tough wearing surface designed to withstand the range of use expected of a modern HD studio facility.
To eliminate nuisance static electricity the floor had an anti-static finish.
