Originally, the plan was to lay a floor coating in the new production area only.To gain the best economy from the installation price and to raise the appearance of the floors throughout the building, it was decided to extend the installation of the floor into the warehouse area simultaneously. Worldwide benefited from having the floors installed before moving by avoiding the additional costs associated with a phased installation that would have otherwise been necessary in an operational factory.
Worldwide Dispensers required a cost effective floor coating to provide the following characteristics:
1. A seal to prevent the generation of dust.
2. A hard wearing floor surface.
3. A floor which would be easy to clean and maintain.
4. A range of colours from which they could design their floor plan.
Elgood Ltd were selected from a number of competitors.

A permanent text sign was installed where the forklift trucks are to be parked.
