BBC Northern Ireland

The sub-floor was a sand / cement sub-floor covered in a 7mm sheet linoleum.

The Newsline set was to be overhauled and the 175 sq m studio floor formed part of the upgrade.

With the introduction of robotic cameras it was crucial that the floor met the demanding tolerances required for the successful operation of the cameras.

This was our second installation for BBC NI following a successful installation in 2011 in Studio A. (link to case study)

We removed the existing flooring and prepared the sub-floor with our in-house preparation equipment all of which is dust controlled.

The Elgood Studio Floor System has been proven over 30 years with more than 130 studio installations. With an average working life of more than 10 + years these studio floors provide long term economy.
