This has enabled them to be assured that the flooring chosen for any particular project is of the highest quality, whilst also returning spectacular looks, together with excellent levels of durability, safety, and cleanliness.
Murray Welch, Sales, and Marketing Team Leader at Anglian Dental said, “The project at The Dental Practice in Bedford was originated by the customer who was recommended to Anglian Dental by his friend. We visited the site, did drawings, followed the process, and agreed the order. The existing surgeries were old and tired looking. The client Dr Hassan purchased the practice in the Spring of 2023 and immediately wanted the treatment rooms refurbished to an extremely high standard.”
Commenting on the Anglian Dental projects where Gerflor products are specified Mikaela East, Gerflor Area Sales Manager said, “Gerflor has a wide range of solutions for every type of healthcare environment.” Mikaela East also added, “Our flooring ranges are suitable for a large array of healthcare applications including dental practices, whether they are new build or refurbishment. It’s always fantastic to hear from clients such as Anglian Dental about the benefits our surface treatments are bringing to their projects.”
On specification Murray Welch commented, “The Gerflor products that we have specified for numerous projects are all extremely high quality, long lasting and reliable. They won’t mark and are renowned for lasing a long time. We specifically recommended Taralay Premium Compact for the Bedford Dental Practice as it has a soft backing which provides a cushioning effect underfoot. Also, it has a slight ‘sheen’ which customers like.”
At Anglian Dental they use their own installation teams comprising honest, dependable, and experienced tradesmen to undertake the build element of projects from interior designers, builders, M&E experts, floorers, carpenters and more.
In conclusion Murray Welch said, “We are extremely pleased with the Gerflor flooring chosen for the Anglian Dental Practice in Bedford. We always recommend Gerflor to our clients as it delivers both outstanding looks and superb performance every time. We are in fact in the process of specifying a range of other Gerflor products for a selection of additional projects which are due to be completed in the near future.”
