Farsound, Essex
Farsound Aviation add real wood to their raised access breakout space with V4Magnetic® Natural Oak Floors
Founded in 1986, Farsound is leading the way in the aerospace industry with its supply chain and logistic solutions. Operating globally, Farsound has opened a brand-new UK headquarters in Essex, and at 50,000 square feet, is the perfect space to support the expansion of its growing team and services. Building the headquarters from the ground up, Farsound worked closely with AIS Interiors to create an ‘invigorating’ workplace, working hard to create a design that optimised logistics and staff amenities whilst maintaining the corporate values at the heart of the design. Iconic Flooring who frequently works with AIS was asked to supply and install the flooring on this project. As part of the brief, Iconic Flooring explained the client required access to allow for expansion in the future, and to that end, they chose our traditional V4Magnetic Natual Oak magnetised engineered plank from our V4Magnetic® collection. Natural Oak offers a traditional style, complete with a durable UV cured natural oil which can be easily maintained, making it a brilliant choice for the busy employee canteen area. At 190 mm wide and 1900 mm long, the oak boards fill the large space with ease, drawing your eye along the seating areas and to the featured back wall.
The V4Magnetic Natural Oak floors offer a fully stable magnetic bonding system, without the need for adhesive. This revolutionary system is excellent for office spaces such as the Farsound Headquarters, as each board can be quickly and easily magnetically bonded to steel raised access floors, offering a quick installation for such large areas. In addition, another great benefit of using V4Magnetic® is that the planks be easily altered so that strategic sections can be lifted and reapplied easily without damaging the rest of the floor, as Rob from Iconic Flooring explains was important to the client.
The result is a breakroom full of character, perfect for the ‘people-centric’ workplace environment Farsound holds. Traditional wood floors offer a hardwearing and stylish design, and when combined with the V4Magnetic® backing, offer an easy-to-install, versatile flooring solution for this large office space.

MA112 V4Magnetic Natural Oak
Minimalism is key with this charming board. The rustic surface of MA112 V4Magnetic Natural Oak is simply smooth sanded, buffed and sealed with 4 coats of UV cured natural Danish oil. The resulting surface has a rich lustre and subtle natural sheen, which is hardwearing, stain resistant and easy to care for, whilst preserving the tactile warm hardwood appeal. Micro bevels give a contemporary edge to this modern classic. Each V4Magnetic® plank has a traditional tongue-and-groove installation enhanced with a 0.6mm magnetic foil base. This base is magnetic on one side and adheres to the floor with a strong acrylic-based adhesive on the other.
