Residence in Barcelona A Prestigious International Project with Unique Challenges
In the heart of Barcelona, Wildeboer Vloeren completed one of their very first international projects in a charming residential building. The objective was to level a total area of 260 m² and install a high-quality herringbone PVC floor using full-surface bonding. The work spanned three floors and required careful planning—especially due to logistical challenges.
Even during the preparation phase, it became clear that a well-thought-out approach to material logistics would be essential, particularly for a project outside their home market. Thanks to precise planning, accurate material calculations, and the expertise of the team, they were able to overcome all obstacles with great success.

The Challenge: No Power – No Problem!
One unforgettable event stood out: On the day of leveling, a nationwide power outage affected all of Spain. While most construction sites came to a standstill, the team of Wildeboer Vloeren continued without interruption. Their fully equipped trailer with independent power and water supply allowed them to stay on schedule. This moment showcased flexibility and innovative capabilities.
Approach & Execution
Before the arrival, the contractor had installed underfloor heating on studded panels and carried out a preliminary leveling using a pump. The job was to apply the final smoothing layer professionally.
Wildeboer Vloeren relied on a proven system solution:
- Primer:UZIN PE 360
- Levelling compound:UZIN NC 580
- Adhesive:UZIN KE 2000 S
- Additional Accessories:UZIN PF 120
A total of 82 bags of FusionTec levelling compound UZIN NC 580 were transported to Spain—a logistical achievement that paid off. The herringbone PVC floor was then fully bonded using the UZIN KE 2000 S dispersion adhesive.
Conclusion
This project exemplifies teamwork, technical excellence, and international capability. Despite unexpected conditions—such as a nationwide power failure—we they were able to deliver flawless results thanks to strategic foresight and UZIN’s high-quality products.
A key factor in the project's success was the choice of FusionTec premium levelling compound UZIN NC 580. Its excellent flow characteristics, fast drying time, and strong surface finish made it the ideal levelling compound for a multi-story residential building with underfloor heating and high-precision installation requirements.
Successfully completing this residence in Barcelona stands as a proud milestone in the company’s history.
