Two Fila floor protection systems have been chosen to protect floor surfaces at Gloucester Services – a new family-run motorway services dedicated to local food, farming and community.

Near the Cotswolds on the northbound M5, the £40million development is a joint venture between a local charity – Gloucester Gateway Trust – and Westmorland Ltd. It was delivered by AFL Architects.

All flooring – including the application of FILAFOB and eco-award winning Fila Cleaner – were carried out by Polished Concrete Designs for Buckingham Group Contracting Ltd.

Gloucester Services is a new model of business and charity working side-by-side. Its sustainable features include local Cotswold stone, timber lighting designs and an arched wildflower seeded roof. There are electrical vehicle charging stations and capacity to switch to bio-fuel pumps. Locally produced ‘farm-shop’ food is stocked in place of fast food and income generated will help support target communities and charity partners in Gloucester and Stonehouse.

Within the main building and petrol station, stain-proofing FILAFOB has been used to protect Mapei’s decorative cementitious flooring, Mapei Ultratop Anthracite.

The non film-forming treatment seals without altering surface appearance and is suitable for concrete, terracotta, unpolished marble and natural stone. Fila Cleaner – part of Fila’s award winning Green Line – was chosen to maintain the expansive floor. The pH-neutral detergent is bio-degradable and comes in a concentrated / non-rinse formulation.
