750m² of our solid Wide Board Oak floor has been installed throughout the newly redeveloped The Higgins Bedford. The £5.8M project, funded in part by Bedford Borough Council and the Heritage Lottery fund, has joined together three previously separate buildings into a new, fully renovated facility, which apart from the existing art gallery and museum now includes space for temporary exhibitions as well as for learning and activities, a café and a shop.
The floor serves as a unifying element to the new interior and acts as an elegant backdrop to the collections and exhibits. Solid hardwood floors are a good choice for a museum/gallery space as they’re easy to maintain and very hard wearing, even in high traffic areas open to the public. What’s more, as it was installed by Junckers’ Approved Contractor PICA Floorings, this floor is guaranteed for 25 years.
