SelecTech goes FreeStyle with installation at Durfee High School renovation

FALL RIVER, Mass. - Dec. 10, 2019 - PRLog -- SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products with long-term value and immediate benefits, recently installed 8000 square feet of its FreeStyle commercial flooring at Durfee High School in Fall River, Massachusetts.

Durfee High School is currently receiving a bit of a makeover. Part of that renovation is the conversion of an old academic building into administrative offices. The installation of the new flooring took place in that building for those new offices.

"One of the challenges of renovating an older building is ripping up old floor tiles to install new ones. It's time and energy consumptive and can greatly increase down time and the cost of a project," said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech, Inc. "The buildings being renovated at Durfee are more than 30 years old. Durfee liked the fact that our interlocking tiles could be installed over the existing floor—without messy, time-consuming removal work or prep."

The City of Fall River's Chief Operations Officer Ken Pacheco oversaw the project for Durfee High School.

"We needed a product to be a floating floor that was also able to be installed over uneven surfaces. FreeStyle was the right choice for us," said Pacheco. "The installation couldn't have been easier. We are thrilled with the product and feel this will be a regular fix for our renovation products and also feel confident that this is also a great option for new construction."

SelecTech's FreeStyle Commercial Flooring employs a patented glueless "zipper" interlocking system that enables the flooring to be installed over existing flooring with minimal subfloor preparation. There's no need for messy, toxic adhesive and down-time is significantly reduced—often times without need to close off an area.
