The Flowerbowl

Total Area: 800m2

H3 Construct were appointed to deliver specialist flooring works at The Flowerbowl Entertainment Centre in Preston, focusing on the resurfacing of the curling rink slab. As a unique leisure venue and official training base for the GB Curling Team, the facility required a high-performance solution with minimal disruption and a flawless finish.

The selected system was Sikafloor® MultiDur WS-18, a water-based epoxy coating known for its low VOC emissions, excellent adhesion, and resistance to abrasion and chemicals. The system includes Sikafloor®-2510 W as both primer and topcoat, offering a seamless, semi-gloss finish ideal for interior use in sensitive environments like ice rinks.

Before our works could begin, the Flowerbowl team coordinated the controlled melt of the curling ice—a process that took four days to complete. Once the slab was exposed, our operatives carried out mechanical surface preparation via grinding, followed by industrial vacuum cleaning to ensure a clean, dust-free surface for application.

The Sikafloor® system was installed in accordance with manufacturer guidelines. A diluted primer coat was applied first to promote bond, followed by a full-strength topcoat to achieve the desired thickness and finish. The fast-curing properties of the product allowed for efficient installation and a quick return to service—critical for a venue regularly used by professional athletes and the public alike.

Our team coordinated closely with the venue throughout the works to maintain safety, cleanliness, and clear communication. The project was delivered to a high standard, on time, and with no disruption to the wider operations of the centre.

H3 were able to deliver a precise, high-quality flooring solution in a live, specialist environment—supporting elite sport while meeting the practical demands of a public facility.
