Leicester Square Kitchen

A new and innovative MMA terrazzo flooring system has been installed as part of a restaurant refurbishment at London’s Leicester Square Kitchen.

Close to 100 square metres of Mondéco Rapide – a new fast-turnaround seamless resin terrazzo flooring system from Flowcrete UK – has been installed in and around the restaurant’s central bar area.

Mondéco Rapide provides a luxury finish with extensive design potential including colour and pattern options featuring locally sourced British marble aggregate blends.

Based on methyl methacrylate (MMA) technology, the system has been designed to reduce the overall installation time associated with epoxy or polyurethane resin terrazzo flooring systems by up to 75%.

At Leicester Square Kitchen, installation works were completed in a small, tight and confined area, adding an element of complexity to the project for the application team. The team also worked throughout the night to ensure that other trades could access the site in the day.

The installation process involved the use of Flowfast F1 Mortar to level the substrate prior to the application of Mondéco Rapide. Diamond grinding techniques were also employed to grind the Mondéco Rapide to a smooth, level surface exposing the marble aggregates.
