DESCRIPTION DekorGrip Resin Bound Surfacing
CLIENT Marston’s Brewery
LOCATION Yorkshire Rose, Huddersfield
DATE September 2014
Marston’s has run a brewery and public houses in the UK for the best part of 200 years. It is a thriving, well known FTSE 250 company that employs over 13,000 people and is passionate about making sure that the experience a customer gets when visiting one ofits drinking establishments, matches the beverages on offer.
With the above in mind, when one of Marston’s flagship pubs, the Yorkshire Rose in Huddersfield, required some restoration work, the company wanted to go the extra mile.
The company was keen on creating a two coloured, chequerboard design outside the mainentrance to add to the impression customers gained when entering the premises.

PROPOSAL
THE CHALLENGE
BEFORE
AFTER
The search stopped once they found the DekorBound system from DekorGrip…
Any new surface would also have to be laid in one day, as the premises was still fullyoperational during the refurbishment period.
Another problem faced was that the chequerboard design had to be easy to create, with everywhole square being the same size and height, this was made more by complex by the fact thatthe existing tarmac, on which the new surface would go, was uneven and so any surface wouldhave to be laid at differing depths but be level on the top.
Marston’s analysed several materials and methods to see what was possible, including a paintedconcrete surface, a paving block and brick design and even coloured tarmac but none of them were able to offer the desired finish and look that they required.

THE REQUIREMENTS
THE SOLUTION
DekorBound was chosen for two reasons, the first that by being pliable at the timeof application and trowel applied, the problem of varying substrate depths could beeasily overcome. The second reason was the finish that it provided - the ‘wow’factor that Marston’s were looking for.
At first the installer had planned to use a removable edging to create the required chequerboard design, however the DekorGrip Team advised that the removal of these edges could damage the surface and make it look untidy. They suggested theuse of aluminium edging, which would enhance the design, whilst at the same timemake the laying of the chequerboard much more straightforward and easy to complete within the time limit, this was accepted and installation work began.
The aluminium edging was first laid at 1000mm centres in diagonal chequerboard design and once in place, the relatively simple tasks of infilling with one colour, following afterwardwith the second.
Marston’s chose two contrasting blends for the surface – Roasted Red and NaturalWicker, which worked very well. The Roasted Red was installed first using DekorGrip’sUV Stonebinder with some additional catalyst to ensure that the Natural Wicker could be laid as soon as the Roasted Red was completed and meant that progress was notheld up and in total the whole job was completedin a little over 5 hours.
Marston’s were extremely pleased with thefinish and plan to put DekorGrip surfacesin a number of other public houses whenthey are due for refurbishment.
