With the capacity to hold 34,988 supporters, the Riverside Stadium is the home of Middlesbrough Football Club.
The main area of concern for their flooring solution was for a long-lasting resin flooring that’s able to remain strong and robust.
Based in North Yorkshire, Middlesbrough FC is a football club with a long history. Formed in 1876, they have played at the Riverside Stadium since 1995, their third ground since turning professional in 1889.
Not only did the stadium require long-lasting resin flooring that looked aesthetically pleasing, but it also needed to remain resilient to millions of footfalls.
The flooring needed to be installed quickly and would have to handle being cleaned up after 30,000 people, 40–50 times a year.
Making the wrong flooring decision would have proven a costly operation to resolve for the football club.
To ensure peace of mind, we showed the club an example of Acrylicon flooring that had been installed 15 years earlier in Norway.
Although the flooring was over 10 years old, it remained as good as new and was incredibly easy to keep clean.
We spent time discussing the different features of Acrylicon flooring, highlighting the fact that all systems come with a fast curing and installation time, to ensure the project would be done quickly.
We also emphasised the longevity, the several aesthetically pleasing colours, and the non-stick surface that the club could adopt.
The hygienic resin flooring the club opted for was one that prolonged the floor’s lifespan and one that was robust.
A long-lasting resin flooring that’s both hygienic and durable was at the heart of this project, to withstand the high levels of footfall at the Middlesbrough stadium.
In addition, with the flooring being used by so many, the acrylic resin flooring needed to be aesthetically pleasing, as it would be one of the first things the fans see.
Now, 24 years and over 200 million footfalls later, the acrylic flooring is still performing the precise job that it was bought for, without one penny spent on maintenance.
