You would probably think a company with 500 years of existence is impressive. Think again!
The university of Oxford has a history of nine centuries, a stunning 900 years of providing outstanding educational programs.
The global appeal of this university is mind blowing. People from all walks of life, coming from more than 140 countries make up a student population of over 20,000. So it surely makes sense that Oxford has brought forth around 25 British and over 30 foreign prime ministers and presidents.
Among the accomplishments of Oxford graduates are the invention of the World Wide Web, significant contributions to the treatment of malaria and the liberalisation of trade in India in the early 1990s. Quite some
shoes to fill! Speaking of shoes, those 20.000 students mentioned earlier indicate a very high level of “filled shoes” walking over the university’s flooring every day – doubling that amount since human beings each happen to have two feet!
With such a stress load on each and every spot of 7000 m2 of required flooring, you better find yourself the best floor finish you can get. Luckily with so many intelligent people all together at Oxford, the university does not lack the brains to make the right choice for its Biochemistry department. After due consideration, they decided on the Bolidtop® 525 system from Bolidt! For good reasons – and with conviction – too. It is extremely resistant to high stress loads and its crack-bridging, sound-damping and shock-resistant qualities also had a crucial influence on the choice of this system. It did not take long for the university to conclude that Bolidt may not have studied at Oxford, but is a master when it comes to flooring.
