If you think of Alton Towers you invariably think of the UK’s number one theme park, however all that is about to change. Joining this top attraction and its existing hotel is the new Alton Towers Splash Landings Hotel incorporating the Cariba Creek Waterpark, an innovative, integrated ‘watertainment’ zone.
Directory company PFD Flooring Limited was tasked with installing all the carpets in the 391 guestrooms for both hotels and also installing carpet in the corridors of the Splash Landings Hotel. Working closely with the Tussauds Design Studio and their chosen carpet manufacturer PFD Flooring were able to ensure that the 12,250 square metres of the specially designed carpet was planned and manufactured to leave the least amount of wastage. Linked to both hotels is a Conference Centre, which encompasses a large conference room that can be divided into three smaller rooms, six syndicate rooms and attendant bar areas. The centrepiece of the main bar is a carpet incorporating Sir Algernon Aloysius Alton’s flying machine within the design.
On seeing the capabilities of PFD Flooring the main contractor, Shepherd Construction, requested that they provided and installed all the vinyl and timber flooring for the Conference Centre and Public Areas in the Splash Landings Hotel. On her experience with PFD Flooring, Rosie Hoare (Alton Towers Project Management Consultant) said “PFD Flooring have worked professionally and with dedication, sometimes, in very trying conditions. They have always achieved or indeed exceeded my expectations of them.” Stephen Williams, PFD Flooring’s National Sales & Marketing Manager, said “When you are contemplating bidding to win a contract for hotels capable of accommodating in excess of half a million guests each year you need to find your competitive edge. This is not always about price alone, but will be about the skills that you can bring to the project. At PFD Flooring these include planning and estimating using the latest CAD software, Project Management, Contract Management and installation of carpet, vinyl, timber and accessories by highly skilled professional installers”
