When a TV studio used to broadcast one of Britain’s longest- running soaps was in need of refurbishment, Sika’s seamless, anti-static system was proved the ideal solution.

Emmerdale has been a permanent fixture on the ITV network since its screen debut in 1972. The show attracts more than 6 million weekly viewers; therefore it was vital the Leeds-based TV studio in which it is filmed had flooring that showed itself to be super-flat and smooth. The studio’s existing flooring had become damaged over time, necessitating the installation of a seamless, durable replacement.
