The UK’s leading timber and panel products distributor, James Latham, recently supplied hardwood flooring for the new Turner’s Grill at the Copthorne Hotel in Birmingham.

The Grill, in partnership with TV chef Brian Turner, is a stylish addition to the hotel in the city centre, with the Bausen hardwood flooring being fitted to create a quintessentially English décor to match Brian’s traditional recipes and cooking styles.

Cymon Yardley, sales representative at Latham’s Dudley depot which supplied the materials, worked closely with regular customer, Benningway Ltd to ensure the correct specifications were met for the project. Benningway used 100m² of 18mm x120mm Bausen dark oak from the Antique collection. This solid oak floor is hand scraped and hand stained to give an antique appearance which is distinctive to the collection, and it is finished with seven layers of UV lacquer.

A contemporary twist was added to the room through the use of 12mm All Spice from the LG HI-MACS Quartz range on the till area.

Cymon explained: "Benningway is a valued customer of James Latham Dudley and regularly comes to us for various sheet materials, so we were more than happy to also supply our flooring range to them. After seeing the restaurant completed I was very impressed and thought the dark oak Antique flooring added a rich warmth to the room. The All Spice Quartz HI-MACS counter added a striking modern edge to a traditional room. As always, it was a pleasure to assist Benningway with this project."
